What are Poem Sessions?

Inspired by the transcendent properties of poems, these sessions are experimental photography sessions for people looking for non-traditional portraits. It's a vibe. It's a mood. It's a mindset. <3

A Thousands Mornings

By Mary Oliver


The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth,

it can lie down like silk breathing
or toss havoc shoreward; it can give

gifts and withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth
like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can
sweet-talk entirely. As I can too,

and so, no doubt, can you, and you.

FAQ

What should I expect when I book a poem session?


We will work together to create an editorial photography session that's unique. No poems required to participate, but if you do have a poem as a seed of inspiration please share. We'll select a location and follow interesting light and making creative pictures.

Will I like the pictures?


For these sessions I'm looking for interesting rather than perfect. This is not a traditional sit-pretty-and-smile session. Depending on the mood of your poem, your photos might be a bit soft or bold or silly or melancholy. It is a chance to make pictures in a completely different perspective. Maybe perspectives never considered before.

Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?


Yes! Ibelieve that the location plays a significant role. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, I'm open to capturing your portraits in a place that meaningful to you.

FAQ

How long does a typical photo session last?


Poem sessions are 30 minutes. You may bring different outfits or props or special objects and we may move around to different spots. Main thing is to relax and enjoy the process.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?


I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.

How many photos should I expect?


These poem sessions are truly unique. I will provide you with all the edited selects from the session. For a 30-minute session, that means 10 high-resolution images.
