From The Moon's Eyes: Embodied Photo Session Offerings
I. A Foundation: To support your work as creative, healing arts practitioner, and beyond.
A good choice for self-employed folks.
I have worked with yoga teachers, therapists, traditional chinese medicine doctors, dancers, actors, sex workers, artists, and more. This offering bolsters flourishing of your work through a unique lens...
II. A Ritual: An embodied liberation offering. Seeing the naked body as an art form.
Self portraiture has been a portal to self-discovery, emotional expression, and self-acceptance since age 9. A meditative way of coming into the body, moving and releasing emotions, and seeing clearly...
This naturally evolved into photographing others. People began telling me how transformative being seen in a non-judgmental way was:
"You help me feel like I can un-hide every little thing, and still be so loved."
Nude portraiture helped me heal from eating disorders + body dysmorphia, becoming a way of seeing clearly the miracle of the body in all of its phases and forms.
For so long, I viewed the body through a distorted lens. Standing before the camera without armor or distraction required tender, radical honesty.
Through the process, the body was revealed as something holy, alive and resilient; expressive, ever-changing like the moon...
Ritual is the heartbeat of my work. Through attuning to the elements, and honoring the wisdom of the natural world, we can also more freely explore the inner landscape of the psyche and system.
Each ritualistic container is unique + intuitive, weaving a mandala of presence, eros, embodiment, and components such as bones, ropes, flowers, water...
Grounded in breath, in devotion to the earth, this offering is one of carnal liberation.
III. An Experiment: I am open to all kinds of creative commissions, and to travel. If you have a unique vision, do reach out, I'd love to hear from you. For specific work samples: Inquire here.
