Experiences and Pricing
Each experience is built around you. The investment reflects not just the portrait session itself, but the entire process we build together before we ever pick up a camera.
Founding Portrait Rate: $350
I am currently offering eight founding portrait spots at $350, available across all three portrait experiences. This is an invitation to be part of this practice at its beginning. Once these eight spots are filled, this rate closes permanently.

Portrait Experiences
Each portrait experience follows the same guiding principle: we begin with a conversation, build something together, and photograph what is actually there. The difference between Light, Present and Deep is the depth of the process and how far you want to go.

A small number of Community Rate spots are available each month at $300 for people for whom cost is a genuine barrier. If that is your situation, reach out and tell me a little about what is drawing you here.
Not sure which experience is right for you? Reach out and tell me a little about what is drawing you here. We will find it together.
Every experience begins before the camera comes out.
First we talk. Not small talk. Real talk. I will ask you questions that nobody usually asks. I will send you references: a photograph, a quote from a philosopher, a piece of music, a line of poetry that made me think of you. You send back whatever feels true: a memory, a song, a silence. Nothing is too much or too little.
From everything that surfaces, I build a mood board. A visual map of this particular moment of your life. We use it to shape the aesthetic of your session: the light, the space, the feeling we are moving toward together.
If you are open to it, we might go further. A tarot card pull. A brief reflection on your birth chart. Not as predictions. As mirrors. Ways of opening a door you did not know was there.
Then we meet. And I photograph what is actually there.
The session is unhurried. We work until something true has been found. Afterwards I curate your strongest images and deliver them to a private gallery. What you receive is not just a photograph. It is evidence that you paused, that you looked, and that something real in you was witnessed.
Three experiences. Each one designed for a different depth of that journey.
The Process
A Conversation
We begin with words: yours, mine, like the best kind of dinner party where nobody wants to leave.
A Map
From everything that surfaces, we build a visual language that belongs entirely to this moment of your life.
A Ritual
The session is unhurried. We work until something true has been found and photographed.
A Mirror
What you hold in your hands after is solid: a portrait that earns its place on the wall because it is true.
Past Project
The Atlas Project
A bold reimagining of a timeless brand.
