Transpersonal Photography
Can you whole heartedly say (out loud) to a photo of yourself ….
I see you, I hear you, I honour you, I love you.
Photos are more than simply capturing a moment or a story and I have a funny feeling you already know this because you have landed here at this page.
To begin with… Have you ever said ‘I always look terrible in photos’, ‘I hate photos of myself’, ‘I am afraid to put my face to my business’, ‘I dont know where to start’, ‘I am not sure if I am ready’, ‘I am not worthy’ or a plethora of other stories that hold you back. If you have ever said these things to yourself, I can 100% relate as I too have said all these things to myself.
Tranpersonal photography involves us coming toogether and unpacking what is held within photos for you (* a gentle warning there will be layers) we then start to redesign the dialogue to how you want to feel when you see your photo.
I want you to be able to look at photos of your self and say I see you, I hear you, I honour you, I love you and feel that self love pulsating throughout your being.
Emily’s Transpersonal Experience in her words …
I have never liked having my photograph taken - to the point where at my wedding we didn't even have a professional photographer, because I just didn't feel comfortable.
Kate's gift is that what she offers is more than a photograph. Her work allows a person to be seen, in their true essence. There is deep healing in that, particularly when you get to see the results in the finished photographic prints.
After my session with Kate I can actually SEE myself in an image, in a way I haven't been able to before. I can actually look at myself in the picture, and there is a lovely sense of acceptance of how I look now, in a way that I haven't had before. This has been terribly important on a deep healing level for me, and I am very grateful.
I would recommend Kate's service to anyone that is trying to feel comfortable with who they are. If you have been walking a path of healing and truth, book a session with Kate and record your progress - celebrate your beauty and your growth by capturing your essence as a photograph, and see the truth of who you are.
I never thought I would say it, but I am going to book another photographic session (!!) with Kate (not a surprise!) and see myself again - through kinder eyes, and in a way that is joyful. Thanks Kate x

IMPORTANT
I do not and will never claim to be able to heal ‘any’ clinical diagnosis. If applicable it is important you consult your health professional before the shoot, this is your responsibility. I do reserve the right to refer you to another photographer or health professional if after the initial consult I feel we are not a good fit.
I am purely a photographer that uses holistic and alternative methods to assist you to overcome blocks in your life.
Other Transpersonal experiences in their words
I see you I hear you I honour you I love you
Easy to read, easy to write.. and for a mind to mechanically recite.
My whole self isn’t really required in these processes.
Yet to say it aloud to my own reflection when the story is ‘thing’s aren’t going great’;
and to keep presence in the body with sensation..
full attention and intention..
with an observer lovingly, generously witnessing..
So difficult.
I cried.. I felt confused.. I got stuck.. what’s with this unknown thing.
Let me stay with ways familar I think..
Why’s this so ‘hard’. And ‘hard’ things ‘so easy’,
the ego chimes in.. judgement brews.
I stayed here, allowing intensity to waiver. Go on it’s ride, softening suppression, unlearning interruption.
Being with the life force that blesses every being.. breath.. I found myself moved to presence with love.
Acceptance of nature, as is.
As am I And You, I pray with grace in my heart.
Thank You. - Rachel Gaynor
