12 Empowering Divorce Photoshoot Ideas

Looking for divorce photoshoot ideas to empower you as you embark on this new stage in your life? Probably the most famous post-divorce tradition – at least for many women in the US – is to cut and/or color one’s hair. In fact, it’s almost a rite of passage to undergo a drastic tress transformation.

But as with birthdays, engagements, and pregnancies, a new tradition of taking commemorative divorce photographs has been born – and it’s not a practice reserved for the ladies. These post-divorce photos, like your new hair, should be bold. They should show your ex that you’ve overcome. They should be empowering. And we have some divorce photoshoot ideas for you that are all that and more.

Renting a Peerspace to do your empowering divorce photoshoot is the way to start. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for venue rentals by the hour. There are thousands of unique Peerspaces in hundreds of cities in several countries around the world, providing tons of options of where you can take your pics.

Here are 12 examples of spaces you might consider taking your empowering divorce pics.

2. Pretend it’s your mansion in West Sussex

Tucked in the countryside of West Sussex, UK, the grounds of a glorious Victorian mansion await you. Pose in the gardens, the courtyard, the tennis court, or before a fountain or the pond.

A great session is all but guaranteed.

7. Run away to Reno

Almost a blank canvas, this sweet condo in Reno is right on the lakeshore, ready to show off the empowered new you. The home is immaculately staged, and you can use the interior or ask your photographer to take the photos waterside. Or do both – it’s your life, after all.

8. Crisp and pristine

An all-white photography studio like this one in Washington, DC, can inspire fresh ideas. Imagine it like a blank slate – primed, just like you, for the next phase of your life.

The light that pours into the space on a sunny day will make you shimmer with confidence, and the glittery city lights that shine through at night will also have the same effect.

9. New Orleans style

When you think of an empowered and proud city, New Orleans should jump to mind. How about taking those empowering divorce photos at this phenomenal mansion in Marigny?

This ultra-sophisticated historic home is chock full of ornate and classy style – just like yours. Pose in the parlor, enjoy a glass of wine in the cellar, and luxuriate poolside in the private courtyard. They’re all beautiful, just like you.

12. Rocky Mountain high-end gallery

Another way to show just how empowered you are post-divorce is to take your photos in Aspen. Known almost as much for its art scene as for its skiing, Aspen just shouts “freedom.”

Bonus: Embrace your inner seeker at the Rainbow House

This larger-than-life living art experiment, The Rainbow House, is the result of a two-year project by artist Patrick Hasson. It’s in Joshua Tree and an utterly amazing place to take pictures, thanks to the endlessly colorful and fun rainbow-painted spaces. It’s a truly freeing space that can help you let go of the past as you embrace a more soulful (and colorful!) future.
