EMBODY YOUR ESSENCE
Transformational Photography
& Branding for the Evolving Soul
Portraiture Reimagined
This is not your typical photoshoot.
This a ceremony of remembering who you are.
Raw, real & uniquely you.
With soulful, somatic-based, trauma-informed facilitation, these sessions welcome your full range as we make authentic art.
Each image is both art and activation, marking a turning point, healing an old story, and liberating a deeper layer of aliveness so you can live a life that truly aligns with your soul.
Shri Steep, Wisconsin - Medicine Musician & Feminine Embodiment Guide
"Seeing myself through the lens of Violet literally brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know my gaze held so much power; I didn't know my smile was so infectious. Seeing it captured through her eyes opened up a new awareness and sense of personal sovereignty and celebration I hadn't previously had access to in my life."
Welcome, love.
The fact that you’re here tells me something important: you’re ready.
Ready to be seen. To embody more of your truth. To feel confident in sharing more of yourself with the world.
Except maybe the idea of doing a photoshoot still brings you anxiety, bringing up fears of being "too much" / "not enough..." Or maybe you feel awkward in front of the camera, and hate the pressure to pose. Perhaps you have visibility blocks and you resist doing this but you know that you need to...
Well, my friend... it's time.
Time to be witnessed through a truly loving, healing lens.
To play in presence and celebrate your becoming.
& Emanate the unique beauty that’s always been yours.
I’m here to craft a nourishing, fun, and empowering journey with you, so you can feel more at home in your skin than ever before.
Offerings
Whether you’re celebrating yourself, supercharging your confidence, or gifting something intimate to a partner, this is an invitation to see yourself anew, as the naturally gorgeous woman that you are. These sessions honor your sensuality, radiance, and full spectrum beauty.
If you're going through a rebirth, chances are your business is too. Align your brand with your authentic essence. We'll curate the aesthetics and energetics for your session that captivates your dream clients and effectively communicates who you are and who you're here to serve.
A guided space for connection, co-regulation, and creation. With an opening ritual, embodied presence, and prompts to inspire joyful relating, these sessions become a deepening of your bond, captured in timeless, heartfelt imagery that'll take you back to this feeling forever.
This experience is penetrating to the depths of my being. She helped me witness old patterns and bring in consciousness, love, and presence. It felt like I embodied a fully integrated expression of my whole self in a way that I’ve never really felt.
This is a rewriting and reprogramming of how we are captured through photos… from egoic to soul-based.”

GORGEOUS ART THAT FEELS LIKE YOU
Ready to embody your authentic essence?
If you're nodding yes, you're in good hands. Unlike traditional photo sessions, my work is focused on capturing your true essence through embodied experience, rather than shuffling through a series of poses. Together we will create a custom container for you, designed to embrace the being that you are and usher in the being you are ready to become. This experience will transform old stories you've held about yourself, and let you finally see just how incredible you are. Lean into your edges and you just might fall in love with yourself in the process-- before you even see the photos!
(And then wait and see what happens when you do...)

Let's be real
You're not here for surface-level beauty
You’re here to feel something deeper. To be seen in your wholeness, to celebrate your soul, your body, your bond, your becoming.
I’m Violet and I offer photo sessions that transform the way you see yourself, amplify your mission, and serve as forever-reminders of your potency.
We begin with an opening ritual, anchoring into your why, softening into presence with guided meditation, and getting into the body with movement. What follows is a joyous journey of claiming the unique essence of YOU, in all that you are... and all that you are coming to be.
I offer loving guidance and support throughout, but what makes working with me unique is rather than an hour of stiff posing focused on looks and outcome, my photo sessions offer an embodied, empowering experience.
This is photography as a ceremony. As sacred witness. As healing, and as soul reclamation.
Most women leave their session feeling on top of the world, oozing in confidence and a newfound sense of self.

Arrive and Drop In
Each session begins with a grounding ritual, guided meditation, and embodiment practice. You’ll have space to slow down, get out of your head and into your body before we begin. Any nerves you have going into it will be soothed by a sense of ease & spaciousness. All emotions are fully welcomed, met in love. We'll set intentions for the journey, anchoring into your WHY and then have a blast creating together.
3
Receive Your Images
After the session, you’ll receive a preview gallery of the best shots from your session. You then get to pick your favorites for edit, ensuring that every photo you receive in your final package is a "HELL YES I LOVE THIS ONE OF ME!" I know we're all our own worst critics, so this approach allows you to ensure you love your facial expressions/angles in your photos and feel LIT UP to share them and be seen by the world.

A little about me
Your trusty, heartfelt photographer, Violet
I've always had a thing for making moments last forever. I've also always had a thing for making people feel cherished, safe and deeply seen. This weaves with my Taurian eye for creating beauty, 14+ years with a camera in my hand, and a decade of personal growth work to offer you a photo shoot experience unlike any other. As a soulful, somatic transformational experience facilitator steeped in modalities like Heart IQ, Relational INTERPLAY, and Living Essence Spiritual Psychology, I love embracing the depths of the human experience. I am here to hold you in whatever arises as you lean into your edges of being seen and capture you in your full range, coming alive with the astounding life force that naturally arises in you as you truly embody your essence.
"I would recommend this photoshoot to anyone who is in a stage of tender becoming because Violet will hold you with incredible care and also see and help bring out the dynamic parts of you that may not have been photographed before. The process is art and emotional alchemy."
-Aria Elizabeth Beem, Coach
