I spent 15 years building my photography career on curated details perfected for the editorial world. It wasn't until I had the courage to step in front of another photographer's lens several years ago that I realized just how deeply I had internalized normative beauty standards and loads of self-judgement. Allowing myself to be seen beneath the mask I had been wearing was a powerful beginning to shedding the protective layers I had constructed around my tender being. I am still learning how to love all the parts of myself I have exiled for so long, but it is in responding to these gentle whispers to come home to myself that helps me REMEMBER my wholeness.

There is a special alchemy that emerges when folks gather together on retreat, joined together in practice and shared intention. Immersed in the presence of nature and connection, the energy is nourishing, potent, and transformational. Having attended, supported, and photographed retreats all over the world (Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Portugal, UK, India, and beyond), I have found the delicate balance of attuning to the group energy and capturing the unfolding magic. It would be my honor to support you in documenting all that comes forth.

Are You Ready to Share Your Soul Medicine?
ARE YOU READY TO SHARE YOUR SOUL MEDICINE?
Every session is designed as a unique ceremonial container attuned to your vision and energy. I put care and intention into planning and preparing for our time together, creating a nurturing environment for you to show up fully, holding space while capturing your radiance during the session, and lovingly editing and finalizing your images for publishing. Because of my commitment to presence in each aspect of the process, I no longer offer sessions shorter than one hour, except for individual sessions taking place within a retreat setting.
You will receive a welcome guide and planning resource for the session you choose, which will share some helpful tips regarding wardrobe, hair, and makeup. We will collaborate on these details in our visioning call so you feel empowered and confident for our session together! I also work with a handful of hair and makeup artists in the Tampa/St. Pete and Topsham, UK areas that I would be happy to recommend to you upon booking. These sessions create space your natural radiance and presence over polish - the most important thing is that you feel good in your own skin!
I bring a keen attention to detail in my work to help bring together key elements for your photo shoot setup - an influence from my editorial background and having been immersed in the yoga and ceremony world for 5+ years. (It also helps that I'm a Virgo Sun!) Together we'll determine how props and styling can enhance the context of our shoot. From my experience, it is most helpful to choose a simpler setup for shorter sessions and reserve more elaborately styled workspaces and ceremonial setups for longer sessions.
The focus of most of these sessions is on YOU - so there will be a variety of up-close portraits, with both camera-aware (eye-contact) and more candid images. I will also photograph you at 3/4 length and full-length, as well as capturing a number of scenic shots where you are smaller in the frame - which are often epic website-banner-worthy photos! For retreats and ceremonies, I will focus on individuals, groups, details, food - and most importantly - candid, unfolding moments.
Detail shots, sometimes called "custom-styled stock" are quite helpful for context on websites and in social media. I will capture a limited number of close-up detail images, such as your hands, styled props such as flowers, instruments, smudging tools, oracle cards, and food items. However, I have stepped away from product photography, so if you are looking for images of jewelry, tinctures, or other items you sell in your business, I am happy to refer you to a photographer who specializes in custom-styled stock.
I aim to deliver your completed images in 2-4 weeks after your session, dependent upon your scope of vision and my current production calendar. As a signature element of each offering, all of your finalized images will receive a light touch of editing (color correction, exposure / lighting adjustments, and refinement of clarity). This lovingly involved process ensures your images are ready for sharing while maintaining integrity to their natural essence. Once you receive your gallery, you may request retouching on select images to remove blemishes and hair flyaways; however, the intention is to reflect "real-life" authenticity and to celebrate your inherent radiance, so I do not offer alterations of body parts or "air-brushed" skin.
Every session includes a password-protected gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images with commercial usage rights. This means you can use them on your website, social media, and in promotional materials. The only thing that is not covered is selling or licensing the images to third parties for their usage. If such an opportunity arises, I am happy to chat with you about the best way to proceed!
If you still have lingering questions and would like to hop on a call to learn more, I would be happy to chat with you to see if one of these offerings feels aligned for you! Just reach out on the Connect page to learn more.

I can't tell you enough how much I love my photos- they capture everything I want and make me feel so good in my own skin!! These are honestly the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen of myself, and I know that a lot of that has to do with your ability to bring out that creative spark within every person that you encounter! You really captured my spirit, and I am so grateful.
