CEREMONIAL PORTRAIT PHOTO SESSIONS
WILD EMBODIMENT
You already know the feeling. The moment your bare feet touch cool machair, wind moves through your hair, and something inside you remembers: this is who I am. Untamed. Present. Whole.
These are not ordinary photoshoots. They are sacred, intuitive spaces where you return home to your body, your breath, your raw aliveness. Where the wild land becomes both mirror and medicine.
I created Wild Embodiment because I kept witnessing the same quiet miracle: women stepping out of the noise of daily life and into the landscape – and suddenly they could feel themselves again. The camera simply witnessed what was already happening.

YOUR
WILD
THE VIBE
WHAT A SESSION FEELS LIKE
You arrive as you are – no need to perform, pose, or be “perfect.” We begin slowly: sharing cacao or herbal tea together. Grounding into our bodies, focusing on our breath, connecting with the surrounding wild elements.
Then my camera comes in, we will: walk barefoot on secluded beaches, breath with the tide, let the wind move what’s ready to be moved. There are no forced smiles or stiff directions. Instead, gentle prompts, movement, silence, laughter, tears if they come – whatever your body needs to express.
The camera stays soft, intuitive. Sometimes it rests while we simply sit with the sea. Sometimes it captures the exact instant your shoulders drop and your face softens into something unguarded and luminous.
We work with the land as co-creator:
Golden hour on a remote Beach
Mist rising over the machair at dawn
Dune shadows at twilight
The wild Atlantic as your backdrop and your witness
You leave with images that feel like mirrors – not of how you “looked,” but of how you felt when you remembered your own wildness.
There is no pressure to be or dress a certain way. Many of my clients prefer to stay clothed in their favourite outfits, others lead into integrating their bodies with the land. If we are by the sea, we often end in there. Together. I will follow your lead, know you are safe here.
Who These Sessions Are For:
Women who feel:
Disconnected from their bodies after years of giving
Ready to reclaim pleasure, power, softness, strength
Called to be seen – not polished, but truly
Drawn to nature as healer and mirror
Wanting photographs that feel like medicine rather than “content”
Many come alone. Some bring a partner, sister, daughter, or mother. All leave feeling more at home in their skin.

Ready to Come Home to Yourself?
These sessions are deeply personal and limited – I only take a few each season so every woman receives full presence. If your heart is saying yes, if you feel the pull of wild beaches and wide skies, reach out.
Tell me: What part of you is ready to be seen? Where in your body do you feel the call to be wild again?
I’m here. Let’s walk into the landscape together.
