“And one day she remembered that she was made of wild things and stardust, and she stopped asking for permission.”
— Unknown

Stop shrinking.
Stop waiting for the “right” version of yourself.

You’ve been doing the work. Boldly, quietly, fiercely.
Piece by piece, you’ve reclaimed what was once silenced, softened, or set aside.
And now? It’s time to see yourself, fully.

This is for women walking in their truth.
Women who’ve faced their shadows, met themselves with grit, and refuse to perform for anyone else.

I’m creating a series that celebrates the real, raw, embodied power of women who’ve done the work.

Not posed. Not polished. Not performative.
Just you. Just Essence.

We’ll co-create images that hit like a visual exhale.
Images that are honest. Wild. Soulful. Sensual. Fierce.
Images that show the world—and yourself—what it looks like to come home to your own truth.

What You’ll Receive:

  • A full-length, guided photo session with me in-studio ($500 value)

  • Access to the client closet, fabrics, and flowy layers to play with embodiment and energy

  • Full posing support (zero pressure, just intuitive movement + guidance)

  • 3 fully retouched digital images to keep and share ($900+ value)

  • A chance to have your images + story featured on my website, blog, and social platforms

  • Behind-the-scenes video as part of an ongoing project celebrating women’s inner worlds

📸 What’s Required to Participate:

This is a co-created experience. You bring your essence and your truth, I’ll hold space and reflect it back with my lens.

Here’s what’s involved:

  • Hair & makeup styling is required ($300) paid up front to book, and applied to any image package if you decide to purchase more later

  • A signed model release – images and video may be shared on my platforms and in-studio

  • Behind-the-scenes video will be captured during your session

  • A short video testimonial + written review

  • Willingness to be featured in marketing and storytelling efforts as part of this project

💬 This Is For You If…

You’ve done the inner work, quietly, fiercely, somewhere in between.
You’re done shrinking.
You’re done fitting into anyone else’s “enough.”
You’re ready to see yourself reflected.

This is a space to honor what you’ve lived through, reclaimed, and remembered.
To create images that hold your depth, your knowing, your softness, and your fire.
To witness yourself fully, as you are.

“You don’t need to be fixed, you need to be seen”

This is a limited collaboration, looking for 3 women to participate.

If your heart is whispering yes, listen. You already know the way.

“She wore her scars like wings.”
