lunar based empowering female photoshoots

Taylor's Nicturna Session - Black New Moon - Icefields & Tangle Falls

Nicturna Sessions were inspired by my Mother Odette and I started them to make a difference in women’s lives. I wanted to start bringing women out at night in nature to reset and really embrace their beauty. These sessions have turned into so much more than pretty photoshoots. It has been incredible being around such amazing women for a powerful lunar night.

Magic happens in the dark.

Here is Taylor’s Nicturna Session.

Over the glowing hill, I will conquer”

Words from Taylor:

“Have you ever experienced magic? The beauty of a waterfall; how the water moves effortlessly and with purpose. The vastness of the night sky; enveloping you in its darkness, connecting you with the earth beneath your feet. Being with Sofia in her element is just like that…

In our lifetime, I believe we will undergo several transformations…revelations…mid (or quarter) life crisis…awakenings. However you choose to refer to them, they’re chapters in our lives that change the very definition of who we are. We “come into our own”. The beliefs we have are based from experience and we begin to live more intentionally. 

Perhaps that’s why I’m so in love with the moon, because no matter what phase she’s in, she’s always whole. 

For me, working with Sofia - this Nicturna shoot, was a gift to myself. A culmination of the “work” I’ve done this year. A celebration of learning to love myself. Mind-Body-Soul. There was a moment while Sof & friends were setting up, I’d gone to the car to change and looked back up at the falls. What I saw was pure magic; the falls danced to life with the colours of the rainbow. I swear I could hear Sof laughing. 

Under that big, beautiful sky, I was witness to a team working together, each of us fueled by our own passions; coming together to create…magic”.
