A storytelling portrait experience for women

"An invitation to step into your imagination..."

 

The photoshoot experience you didn't know you needed

 

 

More than just a photoshoot

 

Imagination Sessions are experiences designed for the woman who feels the pull toward something more creative, more expressive, more "them" than a traditional photo session…who want to feel sexy but who doesn’t necessarily want a full boudoir experience.


This is a space where imagination leads and you become the main character in the story.

 

What's an Imagination Session?

The experience you didn't know you needed

These sessions live in the in-between...

between fine art and portraiture,

between fantasy and reality,

between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.


These sessions allow the imagination to transform you. You have full permission to be "her".

What makes an Imagination session Different?

It's an experience that lives between fashion, story, and self-expression

From villain to queen,

woodland nymph to modern muse,

1920s glam to 1990s grunge.

Soft and ethereal to bold and untamed, each session is tailored to reflect your vision and your energy.


This experience is designed for imagination to meet expression. For the parts of you that don’t always get a place to exist. A space to feel seen, celebrated, and expand into what's possible..

Who is this For?

Women who...
  • Are drawn to storytelling, creative expression,  symbolism, and visual mood
  • Want images that feel artistic, emotional, and unique
  • Crave a safe, guided space to explore self-expression
  • Are curious about boudoir, but don’t want to jump straight there
  • Want photos that feel meaningful


You don’t need modeling experience.

You don’t need to know how to pose.

You don’t need to arrive with a fully formed idea.


That’s where I come in.


I guide you through the entire experience, from concept to styling to posing, so you can settle into the experience and let it unfold naturally.

 

What to Expect

 

 

A relaxed, guided process from session to artwork

 

Every session is crafted with intention - from light and pacing to final curation - with the goal of producing tangible art, not just digitals to scroll past and forget.


Each experience begins with a complimentary consultation where we plan your vision, followed by a guided session that feels natural and relaxed. Afterward, you’ll return for an in-person reveal and selection appointment to choose how your images come to life.


We believe your story deserves to live beyond the screen. That's why each experience begins with a guided photography session and a starting collection featuring a Folio Box Print Set so your memories become something you can hold rather than something you have to figure out later.


Additional images and heirloom collections are available for those who wish to further build their story.


Sessions are based in, but not limited to, the Centralia/Chehalis and Olympia, Washington areas.

Client Closet Access

A curated closet to bring your session to life

Available with select packages, the client closet offers a curated collection of pieces to elevate your session.


A growing collection of pieces that range from soft and flowing to bold and expressive, each piece is chosen to help you step into a mood, a story, a version of yourself.


Whether you’re layering textures, building a full look, or simply adding a statement piece, the closet is there to support your vision.


***Please note that sizes and available pieces are limited and subject to availability. Access is included with select packages and woven into your session planning.

Add-Ons


These optional add-ons bring a little more personality and play into your session. Whether you’re bringing your pet, your partner/best friend, or just want a little extra variety, this gives us space to go beyond the standard set.


Your base session is meant to feel relaxed and focused, with enough time to create a strong, well-rounded gallery. When we add in extra people, pets, or setups, it just naturally takes a bit more time, so these add-ons give us the space to include those pieces without feeling rushed.

FAQ

What exactly is an Imagination Session?

These sessions are where storytelling, styling, and photography come together.


Instead of just showing up and taking photos, we’re creating a visual concept together. Something with mood, symbolism, texture, and feeling.


It can lean fashion, fantasy, boudoir-inspired, or something entirely your own. There’s no one way to do it.

Do I need to have a concept or idea before booking?

Not at all.


Some people come in with a full vision, others just know they want something different but don’t know what yet. That’s what the consultation is for.


I’ll help you shape the idea, refine the mood, and bring it into something that actually translates beautifully on camera.

FAQ

I’ve never done anything like this… will you guide me?

Yes, completely.


You don’t need modeling experience or to know what to do with your hands. I’ll guide you through posing, movement, expression, and energy the entire time.


Think of it less like “posing” and more like being directed inside a scene.

Can this be boudoir? Or does it have to be something else?

Imagination Sessions are rooted in story, mood, and visual expression rather than traditional boudoir.


They can still carry a sense of softness, confidence, and sensuality, but the focus is on the full narrative.


For those wanting to go deeper into that space, a boudoir session can be added and seamlessly woven into the story we’re creating.

FAQ

I want photos I feel comfortable sharing. Is this a good fit?

Yes, this is exactly what Imagination Sessions are designed for.


These sessions focus on story, mood, and visual expression, so you’ll naturally have images that feel artistic, styled, and easy to share.


If you’re also craving something more intimate, many clients choose to add on a boudoir portion. That way, you walk away with both. Images that feel personal and just for you, and images that still feel like you but are comfortable to share.

What if I feel nervous or out of my comfort zone?

That’s honestly really normal.


Most people feel that way walking in. The session is designed to ease you into it, not throw you into something overwhelming.


By the time we get going, it usually shifts from nerves into curiosity… and then into this actually feels kind of fun.

How long is the session?

It depends on the experience you choose.


Some are short and focused, others allow more time for wardrobe changes, creative direction, and building out a full story.


I’ll help guide you to the option that fits what you’re wanting to create.

FAQ

What should I wear?

This depends on the direction we are creating together.


You’re welcome to bring pieces you love, and I also offer access to a client closet with select packages. These include statement pieces, textures, and wardrobe options that photograph beautifully.


We’ll talk through styling during your planning phase so everything feels cohesive.


Please note: client closet sizing and options are limited.

What’s included when I book?

Every experience begins with a consultation where we plan your concept, styling, and overall direction.


From there, you’ll have a guided session, and then your in-person reveal where you select your final images and artwork.


Plus a starting collection featuring a folio box print set, so your memories become something you can hold rather than something you have to figure out later.

FAQ

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking at least a few weeks in advance, especially if we’re building out a more styled or detailed concept.


This gives us time to plan, source pieces if needed, and bring everything together intentionally.

How does selecting photos work?

After your session, you’ll be invited to review a curated gallery and select your favorite images. From there, final edits are completed and your finished artwork is prepared for delivery.


Once selections are finalized, printed artwork and products are typically available for pickup within 4 to 6 weeks. *Rush delivery available
