where photography and earth connection come together

PhotoRitual

What does it look and feel like to create beautiful images from an embodied place? What happens when the creation process is the point, and is pleasurable, intentional, and celebrates your spiritual evolution?​​​​

​

In a PhotoRitual, the ritual is the purpose and the resulting photos are simply a stunning archive of the emotional and energetic process.

​

I create a space for you to experience the deeper connection with your body and earth you’ve been longing for, resulting in powerful images that support your creative expressions.​

The Ritual

​About half of the session will be a guided ritual, individually curated based on what’s currently up in your life. This can be something you’re working through, a challenge, a theme you’re working to heal, or something you’re wanting to celebrate. It could be a place you feel stuck in your “shadow work,” a dynamic you’re ready to release, or something like a milestone you’re wanting to bring intention to. We'll tap into the stories of place, of your body, and the story you want to live into after this transformational ritual as a way to bring forth the medicine of this life moment.

​

During this half of the PhotoRitual, I hold space and facilitate a ritual to connect deeper with your body, this chosen theme, your intentions, and with the earth. We'll integrate the land, plants, guides, and archetypes that are most supportive at this time.

The Images

Then, from this grounded, intentional, embodied, reverent place we create photos of your choosing (for instance, photos you’ll hang in your living room as portraits documenting this moment in your life, portraits that support your public-facing offerings, detail/action images incorporating any items you use in your work, or something else you desire).

​

We’ll talk more about the style of resulting photos that would be most helpful, as well as have a pre-session conversation about your desires and intentions in order to prepare.

​

This is a deeply collaborative and individualized process. I welcome your intuition, your guides, and the medicine of your ancestors in designing this experience. Reach out below with questions or ideas!​​
