Ok. This is a post I have been procrastinating because I feel like it needs to be “perfect”…whatever that means…so I’ve decided I’m gonna post it now because it is literally so exciting and I know if I keep waiting…I’ll wish I had posted it sooner 🤪
✨ This photoshoot was a huge milestone for me, because of how huge it was for my client.
I’ve been developing the idea of “identity portraits”/the “personal transformation portrait experience” for a long while now. It came out of my soul and made me simultaneously more excited and terrified than anything at the thought of actually getting to do this as my job.
Working with this particular client showed me just how powerful the idea actually is and confirmed my hunch that this is my calling.
I will let my client’s post experience reflection speak for themself…✨
"Never in a thousand years did I think I would be photographed in my underwear, on a stage, in a spotlight, alone. That's a literal nightmare come true for me, even before you get into the masculine and feminine avatars... and yet, there I was, thanks to Hannah. This project was the culmination of a lot of tough therapy work around identity and self, and it came along at the exact right time I needed it. Hannah's passion and respect for the work made it very easy to buy in and ignore the gnawing anxieties and fears in the back of my head. Our pre-shoot consultations were a huge help in creating something loaded with symbolism and meaning. Now, I have something I'm so proud of, I'm actually willing to share bits of it with the world -- not an easy thing for me to do!"
✨ we used astrology, meyers briggs, the enneagram, and lots of thorough 1:1 conversations to craft a photoshoot that would help them experience themselves in a new and profound way, and I am so so honoured that my deepest passions allow me to be a part of people’s lives in this way. ✨
