This session with Arianna is such a perfect example of how much intentional choices matter. When she planned her shoot, she approached it as one complete visual story. The wardrobe and the space worked together, not separately. The warm tones of her outfit, the soft neutrals of the room, the natural light all came together to create something that felt calm, grounded, and safe. Exactly what you’d hope for when working with a therapist.
One of my favorite details in this shoot is the subtle inclusion of a stand-in client. You only see their shoulder in the foreground, but it goes such a long way to invite a viewer in and help foster a sense of connection. Thank you to Arianna and A Marie studio for such a beautiful shoot!
Space: A Marie Studio, Phoenix
