In the depths of presence, your essence glows

The Spiral Method


The spiral represents a journey where we often visit old versions of ourselves, but always from a higher perspective

The Experience


Your journey back home starts the moment you click 'begin'; after you book your session you will receive a welcome guide delivered to your email.  In your guide, you will be given information on what to expect, how to relieve any stress and tensions before your session, and tips on being more comfortable in front of the lens.  I have carefully crafted questionnaires for each offering to help cultivate the experience that will most reflect your individual personality and the light that emits because of it. The act of awakening our mindfulness not only allows your inner light to radiate outward, it fosters and promotes healthy relationships with those around you.

 

 

Return

When you arrive to your session we will spend a little bit of time getting more comfortable.  You will be invited to release all pressures and expectations that have built up around this day and slow down to experience the stir in the stillness around you.  I will help guide your breathing to allow yourself to becoming grounded to who you are in this moment.

 

Reveal

Here, your essence isn't created it is rediscovered.  I will start guiding your movement through prompts rather than directing poses.  Our 'perfect shot' lies in the natural expressions when we aren't performing, but just being. When you allow yourself to be vulnerable in front of the lens, the light from within has the opportunity to shine.  

 

Radiate

I use prompts, banter and humor to help encourage natural expressions that reflect your personality.  When you feel your light you have the chance to allow your spiral to unravel you into mindfulness.  The brilliance of the result awakens your consciousness and propels your journey forward.

Editing

 

My editing style is tailored to each session.  The energy and essence of each experience differs and I channel that in the lighting,  shadows and overall color of your portraits.  I lean towards an artistic realism to enhance what's already there rather than altering the image.  If you have a specific editing style that you are looking for (bold, dramatic, soft, whimsical, etc.) please let me know in your questionnaire before your session.  This will help determine lighting, time of day and locations, as well as ensuring your vision becomes reality during the reveal. ❤

Frequently Asked Questions

1.How long will it take to get my photos?

Each collective will vary slightly.  However, expected turnaround times will generally be within one to three weeks until the reveal (two to four for story telling sessions).  Digital files will be available within one to three days after your selection; prints will be shipped generally within one to three days of ordering.

I do not personally have a studio, but I have several stunning indoor studio spaces available.  Studio sessions will be an additional $100.  Contact me for availability.

3. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Trust me, I completely understand that sometimes things happen that are out of your control.  In that event,  let me know as soon as possible and we can find a later date to reschedule.  Refunds will only be provided if rescheduling is not an option and will not include booking fee.   Cancellations made less than 10 days prior to session will not be refunded.

4. Do you offer digital files, prints, or albums?

I currently offer all three in my web store.  Each collective will include sneak peeks that will be available in web size digital downloads to share with friends and family.  These downloads will not be suitable for the minimum resolution required for printing.  High resolution digital files will be available for purchase, as well as professional prints, photo books, and gifts.

 

Unravel into Mindfulness

When you are mindful you are self aware.  When you are self aware you awaken your consciousness.  When you are awakened and can feel your own light and are able to spread that light into the world.
