Open Inward Journey Portraiture

A transformational retreat experience that captures your spiritual alignment in photographs! 

Has this been your experience? 

  • Do you feel as if your spirit is absent when you look at photographs of yourself?  
  • When someone pulls out their phone/camera, do you hide?
  • Do you find yourself focusing on your “flaws” as the problem?
  • Have you ever looked at an image of yourself and thought “that’s not really me”
  • If only a photographer could bring out my authenticity and make me look good.



After your retreat journey portrait you will...

  • Hold unique photographs of you captured while deeply connected
  • Experience being seen as a spiritually aligned person
  • Transform and lift the way you see yourself
  • Be guided to bring forth the light of your playful and soulful spirit
  • Know that others finally see the essence of you

I'm Laurie Anne

 I was first inspired to evoke a connection with intention when I was 17 years old. 

My Grandmother and aunt lived overseas, and my Mother had not seen them in many years.  I had a chance to visit them and wanted to capture their love as a gift for my Mother.  It changed my life when I presented my Mother with the evidence of her family’s love, encapsulated in a photograph. Seeing her burst into tears without explanation was all the proof I needed that she was moved and felt reconnected to her Mother and sister.

I have been photographing ever since and studying and training deeper for the past 15 years while working professionally for over a decade.  

Merging my Intuitive Integrative coaching with a Journey Portrait sets the tone and intention for the experience. I’ve been Intuitive Integratively coaching people worldwide for over 35+ years while practicing for more than 30 years of body/mind-centred therapies, including; natural healing, Osteopathic, Somato-Emotional Release, Neuro-Bioacoustics, and many more. 

If your intuition is excited at the prospect of finally being seen as the spiritual being you are, you need to know that your spirit is calling you. I can help you. I will hold your hand while you cross the threshold of the old you and be reborn.  

 

Are you ready to cross the threshold and step into the adventure that’s waiting for you?

An Invitation to See Yourself as You Truly Are

This isn’t just a portrait; it’s a journey inward, where the camera becomes a mirror for your spirit. Here, you’re invited to leave behind expectations and witness the beauty of your truest self.

PREPARING FOR YOUR JOURNEY: WHAT TO EXPECT

Your portrait session is a shared journey into stillness and discovery. Here’s what you can expect when you take this step to see yourself more deeply.

  • Set Your Intention: Bring a sense of openness, free of pretense or expectation. This is about allowing the real you to emerge.
  • Enter with Curiosity: Rather than arriving with answers or ideas of what you’ll see, come with a willingness to let the process unfold naturally.
  • Presence Over Perfection: Our goal isn’t a polished image but a true one. Let yourself be seen without the weight of judgment.

PREPARING FOR YOUR JOURNEY: WHAT TO EXPECT

ENTER a quiet space filled with natural light, where time feels slower and you can simply breathe.

YOUR PORTRAIT AS A WITNESS: REFLECTING THE INNER LIGHT

Think of these portraits as mirrors—not for how you look, but for who you are when all else fades away. These images are companions, reminders of the quiet truths within you.

Each portrait is created with reverence, capturing moments that words can’t quite reach. These aren’t just photos to display—they’re touchstones for your journey, guides that reflect the courage it takes to be fully seen.

WHAT MAKES INTUITIVE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY UNIQUE

Intuitive Portrait Photography captures not just an image, but the essence of who you are. These sessions go beyond appearances—they’re about honoring your inner journey, and capturing an image that feels true, intimate, and deeply you.

YOUR PATHWAY TO BEING SEEN: STEP BY STEP

  • Preparation: Before our session, we’ll connect to clarify your intentions and your hopes for this experience.
  • Session Day: You’ll step into a calm, inviting space, where the camera simply becomes a witness to the moment.
  • Reflection: After the session, your portrait will serve as a reminder, a quiet presence to return to as you continue your journey.

CONNECTING BEYOND: GUIDANCE THROUGH MEDIUMSHIP

In some sessions, the presence of loved ones or guides may emerge to offer insights or gentle affirmations. This is not something we summon, but rather a connection that unfolds naturally when it serves your journey.

If this connection occurs, it is a quiet affirmation of life’s continuity—a reminder that our stories are woven together across time and space.

READY TO BEGIN?

If you feel the pull toward this experience, I invite you to begin with a simple conversation. Let’s explore what draws you here and what you hope to uncover.” “Are you ready to witness yourself as you truly are?

I'm Laurie Anne,

and the work I do isn’t for everyone. If you’ve found your way here, though, you may already feel it’s for you. This is more than photography. Think of it as a ceremonial unveiling—a sacred moment in time where your truest self is invited to the surface, to be seen and honoured.

This is Soul-Ography.
I’ve known the weight and wonder of capturing someone’s essence on film since my earliest days. When I was seventeen, I traveled across the ocean to visit my Grandmother and Great Aunt, women my mother hadn’t seen in years. I set out to capture them, to bring them closer across time and distance. The moment I placed those photos in my mother’s hands and saw her tears, I knew that this work—this seeing and being seen—had found me.

Today, with nearly 40 years of experience as an intuitive coach and over three decades in body-mind therapies—natural healing, Osteopathy, Somato-Emotional Release, Neuro-Bioacoustics, and beyond—I bring together the unseen layers of who you are with the outward expression of your being. This work isn’t about creating a polished image. It’s about revealing the truest, most resonant self.

To stand before the lens and allow yourself to be seen—not as the world has shaped you, but as you truly are—takes courage. It is the call of your spirit, an invitation to meet yourself in a way that is both deep and bold. And if you feel this call stirring within, know it is your spirit asking to be known, honored, and celebrated.

If you’re ready to step over the threshold into the life that is waiting, I am here to walk beside you, holding a space where you can become the person you’ve always sensed yourself to be.

Each portrait is crafted with reverence, capturing what words cannot hold. These aren’t simply photos—they are touchstones for your journey, reminders of the courage it takes to be fully seen.

 

The depth of my gratitude for this amazing woman knows no bounds. I have to confess I was nervous at the beginning as I truly don’t like my photo being taken however Laurie Anne held my hand and made the whole experience very joyful and powerful. Every woman should go through this process, not only to clear the blocks that can stop us from reaching the stars, but to step into our power with joy, mischief and self awareness.

Laurie Ann has a gift when speaking to people and senses their inner selves. Lauri Anne is then able to bring that alive in her photography to make people shine.

The concept of [Intuitive Integrative portraiture] is amazing, the photo shoot after the [Intuitive Integrative coaching session] is so much fun I felt it really gave me some grounding being out in nature and all the laughing was like the final piece of therapy I needed to release the emotions that came up in my reading.

A truly gifted artist, with an exceptional ability to reach the soul and bring it to light in the photograph.
