🌲📸Back in October, I had the honor of photographing Bianca for her senior portraits in one of my favorite trails in the woods.

She admitted that she was feeling a little nervous, having never had professional photos taken before, so I reminded her we’re just here to have fun. I invited her to close her eyes, tap into her senses, and settle into the present moment, calling in feelings and memories that made her feel excited and happy. I also asked what made her feel most comfortable and what one of her favorite things about herself was. Her answer was her hair.

🤍So I encouraged her to interact with herself in that way, running her fingers through it, fluffing it, playing with it, and having fun before opening her eyes. Right before I clicked the shutter, she opened them, fully present and relaxed.

As we wandered, I asked her questions and got to know who she is beyond the titles she holds, beyond being a daughter, friend, student, or girlfriend. The forest naturally held the space, softened the nerves, and allowed her to open up in such a genuine way. What unfolded were these beautiful, grounded, authentic moments that I’m so excited to share. 🌿

If you’re looking for a different approach to photography, one rooted in nature, presence, and connection, I blend elements of forest therapy with photography to create images that feel less posed and more you 🍃

🗻Before heading north to the White Mountains for an overnight for a forest bathing experience, I lay out my essentials, the pieces that help me feel grounded, prepared, and comfortable.

🤔The hardest choice? Which Swell Labs shampoo bar to bring and what scent fit the trip.

➡️Aloe Tea Tree — clean, light, and airy.
➡️Santal Oak — woodsy and earthy
➡️Coconut Hinoki — soft, creamy, and comforting, which was exactly the warmth I wanted for winter in the White Mountains.

🫧Stem is an all-in-one bar that cleanses, conditions, and nourishes in a single step. No bottles, no extra bulk, just simple, pack-friendly hair care that works as hard as I do.

🚿If you’re looking for hair care that’s simple, eco-friendly, and travel-ready, try Swell Labs for your next adventure.
