“This is so much more than a shoot, it’s a divine experience.”

How I Work
I’m a compassionate creative who prioritizes your experience.
Magic happens as we co-create together. We create until you get the visuals you need.
With twenty years of experience, I guide you to move with the light. Letting your inner light play with the outer light.
The play of shadows comes from within to surface. Your essence is captured on camera, a moment in time, always beautiful.
Video Portraits

What is a Video Portrait?
Think of it as a a moving, breathing, living bio. Video speaks a thousand words in an instant.
People are inspired by the you rather than you body of work.
Each session is crafted to showcase you passions, daily activities, hobbies etc. So people get to know the real you.
Just imagine it, beautiful snapshots of you doing your favorite things set to a backdrop of music. Each shoot is a practice of self-love and presence.
I got you. With 20+ years behind a camera, you’re in good hands.

What is a Goddess Shoot?
It is so much more than a photoshoot!
It’s about connecting deep within yourself, to a place untouched, pure that’s always embracing. Your journey is designed to help you discover who you really are in a juicy, loving way that makes you shine like a star from the inside out.
Fully equipped with chocolate and flowers we embark on a journey together, never to remain the same.
You walk into a sacred space and we begin with a meditation. Seamlessly we begin the dance using the breath as our guide. The camera starts clicking and capturing your beautiful essence. We co-create as I gently give you guidance and encouragement to open and relax.

Tell us about your experience as a videographer?
I’ve been photographing and a lover of light for almost 20 years. It all started with a roll of B&W, 35mm film and I haven’t stopped since.
I’ve always loved capturing people and telling the story of the moment in its natural state. However, I fell in love with almost every style of photography out there. I studied photography and art in college and continued with my own studies for years after.
Currently, I travel and photograph all over the world. Most of my work is portraiture and spiritual journeys through photography.
I spend most of my time bouncing between Thailand, Bali, India & the USA.
Are you available for retreats, workshops & trainings?
It’s also very special to capture your unique offerings and share them with friends and family.
Please check out a selection of my retreat photography HERE.
Do you photograph couples?
In our pre-shoot meeting will talk about what’s unique and special to you in your lives and be sure to bring this into the shoot through ritual and with love.
How long is a session?
How do you work?
I make sure that we get the shots that show you in your best light. It’s my priority for me to meet your needs.
I aim to capture the essential you and share your story. I capture the precious moments, special details as well as the cutting of the cake.
How do I prepare for our shoot?
- Pack your bag with all the things we may need on the shoot the night before.
- Get rest and arrive refreshed and energized.
- Relax and treat yourself to something lovely. This shoot is all about shining your light. You do that best when relaxed.
- Make sure you have eaten in the past few hours. Don’t arrive hungry and low energy.
- Do your makeup and grooming before the shoot.
- Don’t schedule something right after the shoot. It may run long and it’s best not to rush.
What can I do to prepare mentally & emotionally?
Allow yourself to be vulnerable and let go into the unknown. This is RAW, live, fresh and about the essential you.
Here are some ideas to help you relax:
- Listen to some music you love
- Practice yoga
- Dance
- Take yourself to a nice lunch
- Do a ritual the night before
- Set an intention for the shoot
What do I need to bring?
- Makeup/mirror/hair brush
- Fun accessories to create different moods
- A few sets/styles of clothing (avoid stripes and strong patterns, avoid white for headshots)
- Your favorite music & playlists. It’s best to bring music that evokes different feelings, energies and moods
- Your favorite props & hobby objects (musical instruments, hats, umbrella, veil, scarfs, glasses…)
- Refreshing snack/beverages for our little breaks
- A minimum of three clothing changes (patterns & stripes not recommended, avoid white for headshots) for a variety of photo styles
- A friend for fun or encouragement
What happens after the shoot?
I will send you a contact sheet of the best photos from our session. Then, you choose your favorites. I put the magic touch on them and deliver to your inbox for download. Wella, you have a set of magnificent photos ready for you within 2 weeks.
Rest at ease, I’ll guide you through the photo selection process. Before you know it, you will have the photos for your eyes and soul to devour.
Do you work with larger groups?
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve (if I’m wearing them) about how to work with groups.
