Theme of the month - Butterflies

If you love fairytales, folklore and make-believe, this experience is for you.

Part portrait, part living artwork, The Butterfly Experience invites you into a world inspired by fairytales and the mysterious beauty of butterflies.

I'd like to welcome you to my home studio, where through butterfly-inspired accessories, thoughtful styling and fine art photography, we'll create portraits that feel as though they've stepped straight out of a storybook. A little theatrical, a little surreal, and entirely your own.

This is an opportunity to let your imagination wander, play with transformation and step into a character from your very own fairytale.Every month, I open the doors to my home studio for an artistic portrait experience centred around a unique theme. These special sessions offer the chance to explore new ideas, let your imagination run wild and create portraits that are truly out of the ordinary.

Each theme is conceived as a small world in its own right, with its own sculptural elements, styling and distinctive atmosphere. It’s an opportunity to treat yourself to a different kind of creative experience, designed with you in mind.

Inspired by the delicate, otherworldly beauty of butterflies, this edition invites you to step into a poetic, slightly theatrical and somewhat surreal world, where portraiture meets the performing arts.

The themes change every month, with new creations to discover as the seasons unfold.

Sessions start at : $250 + tax

  • "All the love and credit to the magic maker behind these images: @juliaagnesphoto There is something so special about being seen through another artist’s eyes. To be held in someone else’s imagination, and gently transformed by the way they see the world. My dear friend Julia has this rare gift of creating images that feel like paintings pulled from a dream. Her sensitivity, her whimsical imagination, the poetry in her eye… I’m endlessly in awe of her artistry. Feeling grateful to have been part of this little world she brought to life, and to have been seen through her eyes. 🧡🦋"
