The Essence Project

A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Photography

When was the last time you did something beautiful, just for yourself?

A photoshoot can be a wildly freeing experience, especially if you design it precisely how you want.

What if you could create your dream shoot and have a stunning portrait on your wall of the woman you know yourself to be, not who you think you need to be or who someone else expects you to be. The expectations are left at the door.

The Essence Project is a guided journey of self-exploration and feminine presence. A delicate dive into who you are right now. A chance to gift yourself the time and freedom to truly enjoy being in your body and give yourself permission to be fully expressed and seen.

The beauty, the shadow, the expression, the radiance.

ALL IS PERMITTED

THE BACK STORY

The Essence Project was created on a beach in Tulum. I was photographing a retreat and the women I met there blew my mind on so many levels. I had just bought a new portrait lens and thought why not put it to good use! I gifted each woman a mini portrait session and asked 3 simple questions. What came out is nothing short of DIVINE!

Each woman had a chance to access her core essence, reclaim her feminine power and share her authentic radiance. All with the comfort of wild nature surrounding her and my loving guidance. This is when I fell in love with the potential that women hold and knew this work is my soul mission.

I’ll let you in on a little secret… I fall in love with every woman I photograph, just enough to see her true, unique magic. We all hold something special and for me to capture your essence, know that you will be loved and cared for like a true friend and wild inspiration!!

This is NOT your typical boudoir shoot.

You will have fun!
You might cry a little- tears of rage, joy, or pure bliss.
You will leave lighter with renewed confidence, and YOU just may surprise yourself.

You are a dynamic, amazing human and deserve to be seen in all of your wild essence!

This is a photographic experience to connect to your full self.
