The Story Behind the 'I Am' Session

On January 1, 2021 I began a photography project. I have taken one photo everyday since then, included myself in it in one way or another {using the self-timer mode} and included some writing with the image. Through this process I have taught myself different techniques with my camera, healed some hurts through this art, and gained a confidence I could barely grasp when I started. In September of 2021, I had the privilege of going away on a retreat. During that time away I had one particular question I longed for an answer to. It was a question about me..... my physical self that I have for so long not accepted.

I took some time to be quiet and found myself wandering down to the waterfront of the retreat property. I stood at the water's edge and asked {a.k.a. prayed} for an answer. I heard these words spoken in my heart; a still small voice said: "I am".

In that moment I knew I was going to be ok, because 'I am'.

I just.....am.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

I. Just. Am.

From that point on, through a time of personal reflection and brainstorming, the pieces of the I Am Session began to fit together. I asked myself this question:

What if I could offer a session that included the techniques I have learned in my daily photo project? What if I could create this for others?

Focus, movement, writing, feeling.....

I could feel the excitement rising up in me as I realized that I definitely could offer this. And the appropriate, perfect and fitting name for this session will be: I AM

How it works:

~1. A one on one conversation between you and I. An interview to uncover the location where the session will take place. I will be listening and writing words, phrases and feelings that you speak.

~2. Between interview time and day of session I will ask you to send me any other words or phrases that come up for you. I will add these to the list.

~3. Day of Session. Meet at location. If it feels right for you, please bring a 'thing'. Something that holds meaning in a special way. This item will be included in the photos. I will guide you during this process; slow walking, sitting, breathing, eyes open, eyes closed......maybe a bit of dancing and movement? This will be a time for me to capture you in images.

~4. Creating the art. Leave the rest to me. This is where I get to make the images of you come alive in the editing process. The words, phrases and feelings you shared with me will be added to some; making them extremely personal and just for you.
