The Process
Every session begins with choosing a location, whether it’s a garden, forest, or shoreline, because the land sets the tone. I work mostly outdoors, using natural light and private spaces to ground you, quiet the noise of the outside world, and soften the inner critic. My process is spontaneous and intuitive; I want you to come as you are, wearing something comfortable and dreamy, ready to step into the earth’s rhythm.
I photograph exclusively on 35mm film. I don’t edit my photographs, variations in colors are due to expired film and chemical processes. Each portrait is about re-wilding, helping women reconnect with themselves and the earth’s heart song. My photography is especially for those beginning new chapters or seeking to celebrate their natural beauty without altering it. This is an experience of being seen, empowered, and reminded that you are already enough.
