Snow Moon Illumination
A Nicturna Solo Night Photo Experience
February 1, 2026
Full Moon
Snow Moon Illumination is a solo Nicturna night photo experience created for women standing in their fullness.
This offering is for the woman at a threshold. Not in pursuit of becoming, but in remembrance. A moment of clarity. Embodiment. Visibility.
The Snow Moon carries the energy of illumination and self trust. It lights what has been quietly forming beneath the surface, reflects what has already been built, and invites you to be seen clearly within the landscape and your own becoming.
This experience unfolds slowly from sunset into full night, allowing the moon to rise, brighten, and cast dramatic light across the mountains, trees, and water. Warm golden light gives way to silver tones, shadow, and depth. The imagery is cinematic, grounded, and deeply intentional.
This is not a rushed session. It is spacious and immersive, rooted in trust between artist, subject, and place. You are not asked to perform. You are invited to arrive.
