Somewhere between who you show the world and who you actually are, there's a room. Maybe it's your bedroom. Maybe it's your kitchen at a specific hour. Maybe it's every surface you've covered with the objects that chose you back.

Nobody photographs that room. Nobody photographs you in it.

Sanctuary sessions do exactly that. Your home, your rituals, your real life — documented on medium format film by a museum-collected photographer who understands that the most extraordinary things are usually the ones we've stopped seeing because we live inside them every day.

This isn't boudoir. It isn't a portrait session. It's closer to evidence — proof that your life, exactly as it is right now, is worth preserving.

FAQ:

  • A: It is an environmental portrait of you in your home. I photograph your space—the rooms you live in, the objects you have surrounded yourself with, the light as it actually is—and I photograph you inside it, doing the things you actually do. The result is a portrait that shows not just how you look, but who you are and how you live.

  • A: A traditional portrait focuses on your face, your body, your expression. A Sanctuary session focuses on the relationship between you and your space. The room is as much a subject as you are. Think of it as a portrait of a life, not just a person.

  • A: Your home does not need to be beautiful in any conventional sense. It needs to be yours. The most compelling Sanctuary images come from spaces that are deeply personal—covered in your art, your books, your collections, your mess. Character is more important than aesthetics.

  • A: Whatever you actually wear when you are home alone. Many clients wear loungewear, underwear, or nothing at all. Some wear their favorite outfit. The point is to look like yourself in your own space, not like you are dressed for a photo shoot.

  • A: It depends on your home’s light. We will discuss this in our consultation. Many homes look their best in the early morning or late afternoon when the light is warm and directional. Some spaces come alive at dusk when interior lamps mix with blue window light. I will scout the best time based on what you describe.

  • A: Yes. Sanctuary sessions can be individual or couples. The pricing is the same. If you and your partner want to be photographed in the home you share, this is one of the most powerful sessions I offer.
