METAMORPHIC SESSIONS

The Founding Circle

πŸ¦‹ The Metamorphic Founding Circle

A small, intentional beginning

This is the first opening of Metamorphic Sessions — offered quietly to a limited number of people as the work takes its earliest form.

The Founding Circle is not a promotion or a launch.
It’s an invitation to step into this work while it is still intimate, evolving, and held with extra care.


What Metamorphic Sessions Are

Metamorphic Sessions are guided, intentional photographic experiences designed to mark moments of transition.

They are not traditional photoshoots.
They are not about posing, performance, or becoming someone else.

Each session moves slowly and begins without a camera. We ground first, establish consent, and allow the experience to unfold collaboratively. The photographs are a byproduct of presence — not the goal.

Rather than before-and-after imagery, this work documents chapters: moments that deserve to be witnessed without being rushed or explained.


The Founding Circle Experience

As a founding participant, you’ll be held through a more expansive version of this work.

You’ll receive:

  • A guided Metamorphic Session held with extra spaciousness and care

  • A pre-session reflection to gently check in before we meet

  • A post-session reflection to support integration afterward

  • Access to self-reflection and tracking workbook pages

  • A curated image gallery from your session

  • A small chapter album honoring this moment in your story

Founding participants help shape the future of this work — not through feedback forms, but simply by being present inside the process.


Who This Is For

This work is for people who:

  • Are in a season of transition, healing, grief, or becoming

  • Feel disconnected from their body or image and want to rebuild trust

  • Are tired of performative confidence or surface-level empowerment

  • Want to be witnessed as they are — not fixed

  • Value slowness, consent, and emotional safety

Many people drawn to this work have never done anything like it before.
Nervousness, uncertainty, and curiosity are all welcome here.


Who This Is Not For

This may not be the right fit if you are looking for:

  • A fast-paced or high-volume photoshoot

  • A guaranteed outcome, aesthetic, or transformation

  • Social-media-focused content

  • A specific pose list or performance expectation

Alignment matters more than availability.


Important Notes About Pace & Consent

  • Sessions are intentionally unhurried

  • Clothing, exposure, and pacing are always collaborative

  • Consent is ongoing — you may pause, change direction, or stop at any time

  • There is no pressure to arrive confident, prepared, or certain

This work meets you where you are.


The Founding Circle Details

  • Availability is very limited

  • Sessions are offered on a contained schedule

  • Founding pricing reflects early access and care

  • This offering will change as the work evolves

Because of the intentional nature of this container, not all inquiries will move forward — and that’s okay.


Next Step

If this work resonates, the next step is simply to express interest.

There is no obligation and no rush.
This allows us to begin a thoughtful conversation and make sure the timing and container feel supportive for both of us.

WHAT ARE METAMORPHIC SESSIONS?

πŸŒ™ Metamorphic Sessions — A Yearlong Journey of Transformation πŸŒ™

Metamorphic Sessions are more than portraits — they are a living, breathing story of your evolution.
Whether your transformation is sparked by weight loss, pregnancy, gender affirmation, recovery, or rediscovery, this year-long experience honors every phase of who you are becoming.

✨ The Journey

Your Metamorphic experience unfolds over the course of a year, captured through multiple creative sessions that follow your personal timeline of growth. Each session is designed as a new chapter — reflecting your emotions, mindset, and milestones in that season of change.

Before every session, you’ll receive a personalized questionnaire that guides reflection and sets the tone for your next creative vision. These thoughtful prompts help you explore your evolving story, allowing each chapter to feel raw, real, and intentional.

Every session will have its own unique vision and styling — tailored to your journey. One might feel light and hopeful, another grounded and powerful, another bold and free. Together, they weave a complete portrait of transformation.

πŸ“Έ The Chapters

After each session, you’ll receive a beautifully designed mini story album — a tangible reflection of that chapter in your journey. These smaller albums represent the stepping stones along your metamorphosis, complete with your written reflections and questionnaire answers.

πŸŒ• The Finale

At the end of your year-long journey, your story culminates in a custom-designed, heirloom story album — a breathtaking collection of every chapter and every emotion, from the first spark of change to the final transformation.

This is more than a photo series — it’s your evolution, preserved forever in art form.

πŸ’Ž Investment

Metamorphic Sessions begin at $5,200, including:

  • Multiple creative sessions over the span of 12 months

  • Personalized questionnaires for each chapter

  • Custom creative direction and styling for every shoot

  • A mini story album after each session

  • A final deluxe compilation album of your complete metamorphic story

Because becoming who you truly are deserves to be documented — beautifully, honestly, and completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metamorphic Sessions 

How often are the sessions during the year?

Most clients have 3–6 sessions over 12 months, timed around major milestones in their journey. We customize the frequency to your transformation and your schedule.

What if my timeline changes?

Metamorphosis isn’t linear. We build flexibility into your plan so we can shift dates and concepts as your real life unfolds, whether it’s health, pregnancy, surgery, or transition-related changes.

What will each session look and feel like?

Each session has its own vision, styling, and emotional tone. Your pre-session questionnaire helps shape the mood, wardrobe, sets, and posing for that chapter of your story.

What kind of questions will I be answering?

You’ll receive reflective prompts to explore where you are emotionally, mentally, and physically. Your answers guide the creative direction and are included alongside your images in your albums.

What should I wear?

We’ll decide together based on your comfort and the chapter’s theme. Options can include boudoir pieces, everyday outfits, loungewear, gender-affirming garments, sentimental items, or editorial looks.

Is this only for boudoir?

No. Metamorphic Sessions can include boudoir, intimate portraits, lifestyle, fine-art, or a blend. The style is chosen to best tell your story of transformation.

How much does it cost and what’s included?

Metamorphic Journeys begin at $5,200 and include multiple sessions over a year, guided questionnaires, creative direction, a mini chapter album after each session, and a final heirloom Metamorphic Album. Payment plans are available.

Where do the sessions take place?

Sessions can be held in-studio, on location, or in your home depending on your comfort level and the story we’re telling in that chapter.

I’m nervous about being seen at every stage. Is that normal?

Yes. This experience is designed for tenderness and vulnerability. You are never pressured to share more than you are ready for — we move at your pace, with consent and compassion guiding every step.
