11:00-3:00
Self love, reimagined
(But make it the best day, ever.)
Think of how decadently delicious a rich, creamy, milk chocolate smells, and then how lightheaded and drool worthy that first bite tastes, and you’re on your way to imaging how good this day is about to feel-
Yep. THAT good.
This way to the best day >>
MEET THE WOMEN hell bent on making you feeloutrageously confident
From the human who brought you the original Empowerment Experience, Hannah is wildly excited to bring the studios seventh group photoshoot event to life!
A published and award winning photographer, Hannah has spent 13 years refining and following her love for boudoir portraiture. Her work centers women and their lived experience of resilience, determination, unending empathy. Her portraits combine light, emotion, and the messiness that comes with being alive to create images that redefine self image, and reclaim self worth.
As a retired registered nurse turned full time professional photographer, Hannah is driven by her commitment to making each person feel seen, heard, and safe in front of her lens. She has documented well over 1000 women and their stories of self celebration, and is on mission to deliver transformative photography experiences at her studio in Dover NH, and across the globe.
Hannah McMahon
As a licensed esthetician since 2017, Stephanie Mendonca built a powerful foundation in the beauty industry, going on to operate and manage multiple waxing studios at a corporate level and train hundreds of wax specialists.
With well over 50,000 Brazilian waxes performed, her work is grounded in mastery, trust, and care. She specializes not only in advanced hair removal, but also in makeup artistry for photo shoots, weddings, and boudoir photography, and in an educator role.
In pursuit of a deeper purpose, she took a bold leap of faith leaving a successful corporate career to build her own dream and founded MOOD esthetics and makeup artistry.
Now in her second year as the founder of MOOD, she is redefining the esthetics experience through waxing, makeup, education and empowerment. Her mission is to empower people to see their beauty exactly as it is, believing that beauty is not meant to change who you are, but to enhance what already exists and help each person show up as their most confident, authentic self.

Join the (self love) club
Hosted by Hannah Mac Studios in Dover NH, this event is limited to just 5 soul fueled women.
This small group is designed as an invitation to celebrate the spring and to enjoy the vibrancy; surrounded by the warmth only the perfect blend of fresh flower, sweet self love and the possibility of one strangers becoming fast friends can make.
Enjoy local farm to table small bites and bring the joy home with you, with your very own floral bouquet.
Get that (rosy) glow
Master your signature look, and learn how to customize it in a Makeup & Skin Care Fundamentals course, led by Stephanie Mendonca, who will guide you through skin care, makeup application, products and so much more.
Explore color, revive your skin and walk away with a new routine that you can recreate at home, complete with Stephanie’s “Build Your Makeup Kit” guide, and finally feel confident to create a look that celebrates you.
Become the love letter
Finally say YES and leave self doubt behind as you step into a fully guided signature boudoir session with Hannah McMahon.
Feel confident arriving to the event, as a full boudoir session and preparation guide will be sent to you prior to the event, which talks you though every step and what to expect along the way.
Experience what it’s like to feel unabashedly and deliciously good in your body in what past clients have described as an “intoxicatingly liberating”, “absolutely incredible” moment in time, and the sheer magic that’s created in a space where women are seen, heard, and celebrated.
And because Hannah will always remain dedicated to supporting your choices, you’ll also have access to a private viewing and selection appointment. See each image created, and choose the images that resonate with you most. Your event ticket includes seven images to be printed on delicate fine art paper, and displayed in a 5 x 7 folio case, with matching digital archive images (and yes! You can always add more).
soi·rée
/swäˈrā/ : a gathering or party, or in this case, BOTH.
We gather from our separate corners of the world to come together, and you’ll celebrate each other throughout the day! Close the moment with visuals that remind us that we can lean on each other, and take us back to how magical it felt to be in a room full of women cheering you on.

No- You will NEVER be forced to participate in any activity during the event! This is an invitation to step into frame with the women you met, but is never required.
-
No. Your images are always kept private unless we have permission to share them! Because each participant recieves group images, we kindly ask that you inform us if you do not want to be a part of the group session.
-
You do. At the risk of sounding cavalier, it sincerely is that simple; nerves are totally normal! Hannah has always firmly believed that people land in the studio when they should, and if you’ve gotten yourself here…Well that answers that. You belong here <3

“This experience really impacted the way I viewed myself as a complete person. When you take pictures of yourself or someone takes them on a phone you kind of pick and choose what you like and don’t like. This is similar in the sense that you do get to choose what you like and don’t like but an aspect of yourself you might not usually like is presented in a way that you stop and actually think “wait, I love this view of myself”. That’s what I loved about this so much. The pieces of myself that I’m usually self-conscious of were coupled with lighting, positions, a vibe etc that gave me a new appreciation for them..”
-Katelyn
“Oh wow—this made me tear up. Your words mean more to me than I can express. From the very beginning, you’ve created such a safe, affirming space for me to show up exactly as I am. Every session with you has felt like a homecoming—like I’m peeling back layers and finally seeing myself clearly, through your eyes and through my own. Coming into this session feels different. It feels like I’m bringing the whole of me—the version who once hesitated, the one who bloomed slowly, and the one who now stands in front of your lens with quiet pride. I don’t choose you just because you're talented (which you absolutely are)—I choose you because you see me. And in being seen, I’ve started to see myself more kindly, more truthfully. Thank you for holding that mirror up so gently. It means the world.'“
-Danielle
“This experience made me feel soft — a feeling I don’t often allow myself. You and I spoke about safety, and in a world where I am the one creating safety for others, standing on the front line for my children and for other women, it was such a gift to be able to simply breathe. For once, I didn’t have to hold it all together. I could let go, feel powerful in a different way, and allow myself to be seen. That balance between strength and softness is something I will carry with me, and I’m grateful for how you created that space.”
-Susie
