2. If needed, we will meet again and go over what you shared and chat about the kind of experience and photos that we will need to create. Sometimes these photos are captured in a jail cell, sometimes a junk yard, while other times I will capture clients in an open field, or - you name it. Your session will be completely unique to you and your heart.

3. We will meet for your session. As we go through the steps of capturing your story we will also interact and I might remind you of things that you shared with me. I desire to give you an experience that later you will replay through the pictures that are taken.

4. In a few weeks your pictures will be ready for you! In the past, I have met with the individual to go over the photos, to walk through the memories, to rehearse the experience… I sort of hold their hand a bit to launch them into a time of using the photos to further them along in their creative therapy. Some have also taken their photos to their professional therapist and used them to express what words just simply can’t.

5. These photos and this experience will be yours. It will be respected and private… no one needs to see them...ever! Unless, of course you want others to see or hear about this gift in your journey. There are some who would like me to share on behalf of them… for this, I write up a blog post describing the experience with my words and the pictures we took. For some, they find it valuable to write on their own and I will then share it on my blog for them. While others hold their photos and thoughts quietly and safely. Whatever your need, whatever you choose... my prayer is that you will feel respected.

If you would like to see some of my personal layered photography projects and some that I have done for others, please take some time (and maybe a cozy drink) and browse through my blog. I hope that you are encouraged and I hope that these projects extend comfort and hope to you in your own journey!
