An atelier dedicated to the art of knowing ourselves.

I created Atelier Memoria as a place to slow down, get curious, and pay attention to who we are when we're not trying to be someone else. Through portraiture, colour, conversation and restorative practice, we'll explore the things that make you feel most like you—the things you carry, the things you're becoming, and sometimes the things you're finding your way back to.

There is nothing here to fix.
It’s time to come home to the real you.

PORTRAIT STUDIES

To be Seen

I don't want you to spend the day posing for me. I want to get to know you, the real you. We'll wander, talk, laugh, try the ideas I've brought and probably abandon half of them for the ideas we discover along the way. I'll notice the moments when you stop thinking about the camera and simply become yourself—and I'll follow you there. There is no rush, no perfect pose we're trying to achieve, and no version of yourself you need to perform for me.

There is no time limit, no rush to get somewhere. I want to know you, and we will keep going until we get there.

At the end, I want you to look back at your photographs and recognize the person looking back: this is me. This is who I am now.

PERSONAL STUDIES

To know Yourself

I think we spend an enormous amount of our lives being told what should suit us, what things mean, and who we're supposed to be. Personal Studies are a chance to get curious about your own answers. Together, we'll explore colour, symbolism, intuition and the things you're naturally drawn toward—not to put you into another category, but to notice the patterns that already belong to you. You may discover something new, or you may finally find words for something you've always known.

This isn't about becoming someone different. It's about recognizing more of yourself, and sometimes that begins simply by paying attention.

RESTORATIVE PRACTICE

To simply Be

Sometimes you don't need to figure anything out. You don't need to tell me your story, make progress, be productive, or arrive ready to work on yourself. You can simply come in, get comfortable, and let the rest of the world be somewhere else for a while. My Reiki practice is gentle, quiet and led by what feels comfortable for you, with space to talk if you want it and space to say nothing at all.

You spend enough of your life “doing”. This is a place where, for a little while, you can just be.

“I feel seen, like really seen. this is me.”
