Testimonials
I had a friend take a course with Julia and I just was so in love with every photo I saw of hers. When I saw the chance to sign up for a course, I took it without a second thought. Coming from someone who is not a “photographer”, I signed up simply for the pleasure of creating. Each module unlocked something new and enriching in the creative process and I found myself inspired to find beauty in my days. It even inspired my husband to unlock his lifelong desire to dive into 35mm film which we’ve now been enjoying together!! My time with Julia was enriching, supported and inspiring and I would highly recommend her course to anyone - novice or professional!

Self portrait photography is a modality of healing where we are able to see parts of ourselves that may have been hidden in this fast pace of life. We slow down. We witness. We reflect.
We deep dive into the world of photographic self portraiture with nature, cultivating our ability to see in ways beyond ordinary perceptions. Relating to the natural world through our fullness, bringing our open hearts together and meeting our creative spark and inner visions.

we start with ceremony on the first day of our course, and we move through each week with practices that cultivate your Self Love and creativity through connection to nature and the elements. This will give you space to drop into the Self Portraiture in a way that nourishes your soul deeply, through self healing practices. An intentional creative space to explore into the depths of who you are at your core, your essence. Thus, how to create art that speaks to the soul and spirit, through heart full awareness.
You will receive access to my online portal with all the practices and videos that include instruction on the art of self portraiture, and complete our course learning how to edit cosmically with photographic overlays. There will be space for questions, and I will be available to answer any questions that may arise through email or in our group network at any time during the course.
We will explore working with plant allies, creating ritual and ceremony that you can be supported by daily, how to use your camera whether it be an iPhone or fancy pro camera, choosing locations and space that brings you into your freedom, writing and channeling messages from the divine, meditation with the heart and nature, and other self care rituals. All of this will attune you to being in your body and connected to spirit through the heart space, which truly helps your essence shine through in imagery.
All Are Welcome!! I want to make it clear too that you don’t need any fancy equipment, simply a desire to learn, to heal, to commit to your self Love! We will discuss these things in the program, but all you really need is a phone camera or something simple. Invest in your healing, invest in your creative visions and Love with an open Heart. There will be practices in the portal that will enhance your photography skills along with the creative cultivations and tending to Self so you can feel confident in taking photos that speak the language of you, and your HEART!

What students have shared about the experience ~
“ My heart is full after completing Julia’s self portraiture course! With her gentle wisdom, Julia holds the space for community and creativity so beautifully. She teaches you not only how to connect with your camera, but how to connect with your heart. Through these last few weeks I’ve learned so much about plant medicine, practices to connect with nature, and ways to explore and expand my creativity. What I really appreciated was the time she takes to meet individually with each student. Her sense of presence and care made me feel so supported and nourished. The great thing about this course is that you don’t need a fancy camera to get started. I captured most of the photos on my phone and they turned out beautifully! I’m so grateful for this experience and I only wish we had more time together. Thank you Julia for creating this offering!” ~ Masha
