What photographs best has been and always will be you. It’s really that simple. My main goal in any photo shoot is to capture my clients’ personality. I look to create an environment where people feel comfortable to not just be themselves but to express that on film. It’s not really about the poses. It’s not about any kind of superficial beauty. It’s about a deep inner beauty. I photograph healers, space holders, reiki practitioners. And yes, I’ll ask you about upcoming workshops and events to make sure we capture back bends if you’re running a heart opening workshop, but mostly the world just wants to see you. That said, there are poses I go back to often, that I keep in my back pocket, because the shapes they create speak to me. And there are new variations and poses that clients bring to me that are fun and exciting. So, here are my favorites from this past year, gathered in this one little blog post, with the huge caveat that it’s really not about the poses at all.
Thank you to all of my clients featured in this post. Their sites are linked below with their photographs if you want to give them some digital love.
