Portrait Experiences
These are not ordinary photo sessions.
Each experience is built around you. Your stories, your contradictions, the quiet poetry of who you are right now. The process begins before we meet and unfolds at a pace that suits you.
Three experiences. Each one designed for a different kind of moment.
The Process
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.
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.
"This portrait session was, for me, a translation of falling in love with my own life, with my own story."

Three Experiences
The difference between Light, Present and Deep is the depth of the process and how far you want to go.
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.
Light
For the moments when you want to make something beautiful, just for you.
An artful, affirming portrait experience built around creative freedom and the pleasure of being seen in full colour.
You do not need a reason. A milestone, a shift, a desire to do something just for yourself: any of these is enough. So is simply wanting a beautiful portrait that feels alive and true to who you are right now.
The process begins before we meet. You will receive a short intake questionnaire that helps me understand what draws you, what moves you aesthetically, and what you want to feel in your portraits. From there I will gather creative references: images, colours, textures, moods. We will exchange ideas through email to shape the aesthetic direction of your session together.
We meet for your portrait session in natural light or with a portable backdrop, at a location that suits you. The session is unhurried. We work until we have found something true.
Afterwards I will curate your five strongest images and deliver them to a private online gallery for you to view, download and keep.

No pressure. No performance. Just presence and a portrait that reflects it.
Present
For the moments when something is stirring and you want to give it a shape.
A guided personal exploration. A self-inquiry through art.
It begins with curiosity and unfolds through conversation, creative reflection and intentional image-making. Together we will explore how you perceive yourself, what stories you carry, and what wants to surface.
You do not need to arrive knowing what you want. You only need to arrive. The rest we find together.
The process begins with a short intake questionnaire. From there we meet for a discovery conversation: a coffee, a quiet video call, whatever feels right for you. I will build a mood board from what emerges and send you creative references: images, quotes, films, music, poetry. We exchange ideas through email at a pace that suits you.
If you are open to it, I can offer a single tarot card pull as a creative provocation. Not a prediction. A door opening.
With everything gathered, we move into your portrait session. Natural light or portable backdrop. Unhurried. Present.
Afterwards I will curate your strongest images and deliver them to a private gallery. One fine art print is included in your experience.
What is included
Short intake questionnaire · Discovery coffee or video call · Mood board and creative references · One card tarot pull if desired · Creative correspondence to shape your session · Portrait session in natural light or with portable backdrop · Three to five curated digital images via private gallery · One fine art print
Present Portrait — from $620
Founding Portrait rate $350 — limited spots remaining. Learn more here.
Something in you already knows what wants to be seen. This is the space to let it.
Deep
For the moments that ask something deeper of you.
For people in the middle of something real: a transition, a loss, a becoming, a reckoning. People who want to mark where they are with something true.
It begins with a short intake questionnaire. Then we meet: for a coffee, a walk, a quiet conversation. I begin to listen. Not just to what you say but to what is underneath it.
I will build a mood board from what emerges. I will send you creative references: images, quotes from philosophers and writers, films, music, fragments of poetry that feel like they belong to this specific moment of your life. We correspond over email, unhurried. You can share as much or as little as you want. There is no script and no expectation. Some people send a song. Some people send a memory. Some people arrive at the session having said very little and let the camera be the beginning. All of this is welcome.
If you are open to it, I can offer a three card tarot pull and a brief reflection on your sun, moon and rising sign as creative provocations. Not predictions. Mirrors. I am an enthusiast of both, not a professional, and I offer them only as ways of opening space.
With everything gathered, we move into your portrait session. Natural light or portable backdrop, or a hired studio space if you prefer. There is no rush. We work until something true has been found and photographed.
Afterwards I will curate your strongest images and deliver them to a private gallery. One fine art print is included. A second print is available at a reduced rate.
What is included
Short intake questionnaire · Discovery coffee or video call · Mood board and creative references · Three card tarot pull and birth chart reflection if desired · Personalised quotes and written provocations · Extended creative correspondence · Portrait session in natural light or with portable backdrop · Three to five curated digital images via private gallery · One fine art print · Second fine art print available at a reduced rate.
Deep Portrait — from $780

You do not need to know what you are looking for. You only need to be willing to look.
A Rare Invitation.
Something Is Beginning. Be part of it.
Thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most.
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.
5 of 8 spots remaining.
Fine art prints are available to add after your session. Pricing on request. Studio spaces can be arranged on request and will be quoted separately.
