The Seen Self
A Movement + Portrait Experience for those who are ready to be seen.
WHAT THIS IS
This isn’t JUST a photoshoot. It’s a space to move what you’ve been holding. It’s a moment to let go of the need to pose, perform, or explain.
No perfection. No posing. Just you, as you are—moving through what you need to move through.
The Seen Self is about expressing what’s alive in you—through motion, through breath, through your body. Eva will be there to witness it and capture it in a way that honors your emotional truth.
Why This Matters
We’ve been taught that big emotions are too much. That anger is dangerous. That grief is private. That sensitivity is weakness.
But these emotions are not the problem. What hurts is being told to hide them. To shrink them. To carry them alone.
This experience gives you a safe, creative way to feel what you need to feel—and to be seen in that truth. Sometimes healing doesn’t come through talking. Sometimes it comes through moving. Through being witnessed without judgment. Through letting your body say what words can’t.
You deserve that.
Why We Photograph It
Because there’s something sacred about being seen in the middle of a feeling. Not after you’ve cleaned it up. Not once you’ve figured it out. But while you’re still in it.
The camera, when used with intention, can catch what we can’t always name. It captures not just a body in motion—but the energy moving through you. The way your grief bends your shape. The way your joy opens your arms. The way your truth blurs the edges.
Through slow shutter techniques, Eva doesn’t freeze you—she follows you.The motion tells the story. The result is something almost musical. The images become visual echoes—like notes on a page—your emotions creating their own rhythm, their own color, their own form.
And what you get is not just a photo.
You get a portrait that feels like memory, like motion, like soul. Something to hold onto when you need reminding of what you survived, what you released, what you reclaimed.
It’s art made from feeling. And it’s yours.

Pricing
Single Session
This experience is offered on a sliding scale: $65-120 per session
This work is intimate, intuitive, and layered—it takes time, presence, and care. I offer a sliding scale because I believe in accessibility without sacrificing the integrity of the experience. Pay what feels honest for where you are financially, and what the session gives you emotionally.
Lower on the scale helps cover time and energy. Higher on the scale helps sustain the practice, support others with fewer resources, and allows this work to continue.
It’s not about your worth—it’s about making space for all of us to show up.

Make it A Practice, Not Just a One-Time Thing
Think of it like a gym membership—but for your inner world. Not just a one-time thing, but a practice. A way to move through what you’re feeling. To reconnect. Realign. When you show up regularly—monthly, bi-weekly—it becomes less about the photo and more about the shift inside.

We stretch our bodies.
We strengthen them.
But our emotions? We carry them until they weigh us down.
The Seen Self is where you let some of that go.
Where you move what you’ve been holding—
and I follow that movement with my camera.
Not to freeze you.
Not to pose you.
But to reflect what’s real. What’s moving. What’s true.
You don’t have to be falling apart.
You don’t have to know what you’re feeling.
You just have to show up.
And the beauty is—you can come back.
Again and again.
Each time, a new version of you shows up.
Each time, something different moves through.
This can be a ritual.
A rhythm.
A return.
Monthly Memberships
For those who want to make this a rhythm, not a one-off. A gentle return to yourself, again and again.
- 1 session/month – $60
- 2 sessions/month – $100
This isn’t just about photos. It’s about creating space—regularly—to check in, move what’s stuck, and witness what’s shifting inside you. Think of it as a soul practice. A ritual. A moment of stillness and expression carved out just for you.
Membership helps you stay committed to yourself. It also supports the sustainability of this work—so I can keep showing up fully, and keep the sessions intimate, honest, and deeply felt.
