Organic Photographs, Ericeira (2026)

28/08/2025

Hi, I’m Ksenia — a holistic photographer with almost 20 years of experience, working between Ericeira and London.⁣
⁣
I believe your natural, raw, honest expression is the highest form of beauty. In our sessions together, I create a space of deep permission where you can let go of pressure to perform and simply be witnessed in your authentic self.⁣
⁣
My approach is grounded, attuned, warmly playful and kind to the nervous system. People often say that the way I am with them during the process, makes it easy for them to drop their masks and feel safe being truly seen. ⁣
⁣
Whether you’re feeling vulnerable, shy, reserved, or ready to go all in and explore different aspects of yourself, I’m here to witness, listen and celebrate all of you — including those unique marks, shapes and stories that create your own distinct palette of beauty. ⁣
⁣
My photography practice is interwoven with my background in Gestalt and trauma-informed somatic therapy, combined with years in the healing and relational arts. I bring these skills into every photography experience, creating sessions that feel meaningful rather than performative.⁣
⁣
I offer soulful portraits, therapeutic photography, authentic brand representation, family sessions, and life transition rituals. I also work with couples wanting to capture the essence of their bond through intimate, connected sessions.⁣
⁣
If you’re longing for a photography experience that truly reflects who you are — let’s connect ♥️⁣

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵, 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽?

𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 is not your typical photoshoot where a stranger tells you to hold unnatural poses, or kiss and hug on demand for the camera.

Instead, it’s a playful, intimate experience designed to bring you closer while I quietly capture the raw, real magic between you.

Drawing on my background as a therapist and relational facilitator, I guide you into meaningful moments together — not to “perform connection,” but to experience it.

The result? Images that feel like you and a memory you’ll both treasure.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀

1. 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 & 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯 – A relaxed call to get to know each other, tune into your relationship and choose locations that feel personal and alive for you.

2. 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 – This is your time to simply 𝘣𝘦 yourselves. Through gentle conversation, quiet moments, playful invitations and authentic relating games, I support your natural connection while capturing the magic that happens when you’re truly present with each other.

3. 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘦 – 100+ hand-edited images within 2–3 weeks, plus a surprise gift to honour your love.

🌿

Ready to capture your real connection (and maybe even deepen it)?

What an honour to have contributed to this colourful expression of life ♥️🌈

I sometimes wish I could post pictures without a subtle - and often not so subtle - inner pressure to also write a meaningful caption.

It’s like some images prefer to speak on their own terms. Without any added words.

In my sessions, sometimes a lot of words are shared, sometimes - not many at all. And yet a lot of beauty unfolds 🌿

P.s. I am currently taking bookings for authentic portraits for July and August; I also have a very special offer for couples photography. Send me a message to find out more! ♥️📸

Dear ones, we are more than half way through the summer and I am thinking to myself: there is no better time to play, explore and nurture our wild parts - creating juicy memories and resources that will take us through the colder seasons ahead 💃 ✨Whether you are after a creative adventure, a self-love ritual or want photography to support your heart-centred brand - I’ve got an offering tailor-made for you. Message me to start the conversation ♥️

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲?⁣
⁣
I did an experiment: without thinking, I asked myself this very question. Actually, before you read any further, I invite you to pause for a moment, close your eyes, and try this thought experiment yourself – so we can compare findings.😏⁣
⁣
Here’s what immediately jumped to mind for me:⁣
⁣
– a woman gently hugging herself, smiling a soft, loving smile⁣
⁣
– silky face creams and a quiet off-screen whisper: “because you deserve it”⁣
⁣
– a bar of velvety dark chocolate⁣
⁣
– a pink, fluffy heart-shaped cushion⁣
⁣
– another woman walking home with a bouquet of flowers she bought for herself⁣
⁣
Wow - quite an ads-inspired Pinterest board. All these images share a certain polished tone, a style, a carefully chosen palette.⁣
⁣
Smooth skin. Beautiful light. Perfectly arranged. No clutter, no mess, no dirt. Also – no room to breathe or break the script.⁣
⁣
I know that image, and the feeling behind it, all too well. I’ve seen so many people I work with use some kind of version of it to measure themselves against, to box themselves in, creating suffering. It still holds a strong presence in my psyche, as the quick thought experiment has proved.⁣
⁣
Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to the other side. Curious about where self-love will take us if we dare to go beyond the surface of the known – letting go of how it should look, surrendering the comfort of the Pinterest board and instead trusting how it feels. What it might reveal about our deepest desires and longings.⁣
⁣
This image here says it better than I ever could. It emerged through a spontaneous exploration, one that wasn’t planned as “self-love,” but became exactly that. Can you see it too?⁣
⁣
I’d love to hear what your self-love experiment revealed – share below if you wish. And if you’d like to explore this through a soulful, embodied photography session, I’m now 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗯𝗼𝗻. I’m also open to traveling beyond, including across Europe. ⁣
⁣
Let’s co-create your own wild, authentic self-love ritual – shall we? 📸🔥

𝗔𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴⁣
⁣
What comes up for you when you read the words?⁣
⁣
Is there terror, excitement, longing, numbness, irritation… or something else?⁣
⁣
The way I see it, an experiment of unmasking is the essence of a holistic photography session.⁣
⁣
An experiment – because we never quite know what we’ll discover once we set an intention to go beyond our pre-conceived ideas of how we should move, look, behave in order to feel worthy of being seen.⁣
⁣
Unmasking – because we welcome the softening of our defences, allowing for a gentle unweaving of our habitual ways to let something else come through. Our essence, soul, spirit, aliveness, flow – whatever you may want to call it.⁣
⁣
Even when you are not ready or willing to put a particular mask down in front of the camera – and I would never push for that as a guide – you may still wish to acknowledge it as a layer of protection. And in doing so, create a little more space between you and the part it’s guarding.⁣
⁣
Sometimes, the mask feels compelled to share some of its story: how it came to be, what it’s been trying to do for you. This can be deeply connecting, touching, even healing.⁣
⁣
Other times, it may feel playful to intentionally invite different masks to step into the frame. ⁣
⁣
The Nice One, the Entertainer, the One Who Has It All Together, the Shy One, the Serious Business Woman, the Creative, the Sensual Goddess…⁣
⁣
There are so many. Each holding a unique flavor. Sometimes they just want to be seen for who they are. It can feel freeing, even delightful, to let them take up space and have their own moment of celebration and acknowledgment.⁣
⁣
Can it feel uncomfortable? It surely can. Every experiment asks for courage, and courage requires vulnerability.⁣
⁣
But there is a payoff – an opportunity to meet yourself kindly, curiously, creatively – in the less familiar spaces. Reclaiming more of your wholeness.⁣
⁣
If something in you feels stirred – I’d love to hear from you.⁣
⁣
I have 1 space for a holistic photography session in London on the 24th, 27th or 28th of June + am taking bookings for July and August in Portugal, as well as around Europe. DM me to co-create ♥️

𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲…⁣
⁣
A time that can feel both exciting and also loaded with expectations and subtle pressures:⁣
⁣
to be more expansive, festive or productive, enjoy more, feel more, grow more…⁣
⁣
Each one of us has our own version of the ‘more’, perhaps even quite a few of those.⁣
⁣
Yet, when you tune into yourself - listen to your felt sense, the movement of your breath, the tone of your thoughts -⁣
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿?⁣
⁣
Beyond the picture of how you should be doing it, what is real and alive?⁣
⁣
Tuning into these questions myself over the last days, I’ve discovered many layers I didn’t want to fully acknowledge:⁣
numbness, despair, even a sense of bitter, frustrated hopelessness.⁣
⁣
𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦?⁣
- a part of me whispered, panicked.⁣
⁣
But as I stayed with the bitterness, other voices began to emerge…⁣
A longing for joy and creativity, connection, play, and more - waaaaay more - colour!🌈⁣
⁣
I’ve been neglecting these needs lately. No wonder my inner landscape has turned bleak.⁣
⁣
So here I am - reaching out to the world 🐣⁣
⁣
This is where my 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 begin - not with poses, but with presence and a gentle inquiry: ⁣
⁣
✨ what feels alive or nourishing right now? How does your body want to move (or be still)? What might it want to express?⁣
⁣
Together, we journey through your inner landscape - whatever it holds - to find 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗸𝗲𝘆.⁣
⁣
🔥 Truth. Acknowledgement. New awareness. Self-connection. Empowerment. Flow. Joy. A renewed sense of possibility…⁣
⁣
𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁.⁣
⁣
🔑 I have 𝟭 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘁 in Ericeira & the Lisbon area open in June and am now taking 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 in Portugal (and beyond). ⁣

I used to be quite sceptical of the 8th of March, kind of frowning upon it - this of course reflected my own relationship with the feminine. The more healing I brought to it, the more I’ve learnt to see the International Women’s Day as a beautiful occasion and opportunity to celebrate HER.

It is not a coincidence that most of my photography work happens with women or men who we are in touch with their feminine side. Photography for me is very much about joy, delight and pleasure - also, fluidity, intuition, emotions and spontaneity, the very qualities I associate with Anima, the feminine part of our psyche.

SHE comes out to play in these spaces - and this is so beautiful and DELICIOUS to witness and play with.

I want more of this in my life, and as a way of celebrating today I would like to offer a 50% discount on a holistic photography session to the first person who responds to this post ♥️ Just comment ‘HER’ in comments - and I will be in touch with you to speak further.

Otherwise, I wish us all the world where SHE is honoured, supported and celebrated. An inner world and the outer world to reflect it. Happy Women’s Day!🔥❤️‍🔥🌸

The wind and ocean are alive with wild energy today in Ericeira.⁣
⁣
I went to the coast to watch the waves and found it almost impossible to leave.⁣
⁣
Something in me was utterly captivated by the raw power of the elements: the rough play of air currents, sudden salty splashes leaving cool, briny traces on my skin.⁣
⁣
I wasn’t alone in my enchantment. Passersby paused to gaze at the swirling masses of water and foam, their eyes alight with a shared sense of wonder. A few even screamed in excitement as a particularly strong wave crashed into the shore, shooting a column of white foam skyward. I didn’t scream but felt the urge to sing—and so I did.⁣
⁣
There, on the coast, I remembered a long-held dream: to hold holistic photography sessions in stormy weather.⁣
⁣
In photography, storms are often seen as obstacles, and we chase the sweet, sunny, predictable weather. But, as in life, storms offer a rare invitation for soulful adventure, profound discovery, and stepping beyond the familiar—beyond our carefully curated and controlled version of ourselves.⁣
⁣
I dream of guiding brave souls through photographic journeys and initiations where the storm becomes the healer, ally, and guide.⁣
⁣
Where freedom, courage, aliveness, and creativity are mirrored and supported by the untamed force of the elements.⁣
⁣
I’m opening space for a handful of these soulful sessions. The winter and early spring season is the perfect time to experience this transformative work.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re seeking to step into your creative power, release the grip of limiting stories and self-images, or simply immerse yourself in the wild aliveness of the storm, this is your invitation.⁣
⁣
If this dream resonates with you, DM me. Write the word “STORM,” and I’ll get back to you to discuss the details and arrange a vision call—the first step in our co-creative journey.⁣
