What Clients Say
"Each pose, each breath, felt like an initiation into the next layer of myself. Melinda created such a safe and inspiring space that I could fully embody the woman I was calling forth.
I saw myself as I have longed to be seen, and it gave me the confidence to show my family, “This is who I am.”"
Jeanie~ Mom, Occupational Therapist & Women's Coach
What is the Archetype Initiation Mini Shoot?
This isn’t your average photoshoot.
It’s a sacred pause — a 1/2-day immersion that helps you reconnect with your essence and see your next chapter reflected back through art.
​​
We begin at your home or in nature with a 1 hour intuitive reading and visioning session to explore the archetype that wants to emerge and what she looks and feels like ~
the Lover, the Warrioress, The Queen, the Phoenix, or perhaps one without a name.
Then, through guided embodiment and intuitive direction, we bring her to life on camera.
​
You’ll walk away with images that anchor you into the power of who you are becoming.

About Melinda
Hi, I’m Melinda ~ Portrait Artist & Intuitive Guide. I lead Archetypal Portrait Journeys for women in Asheville NC 🌄
I believe portraiture can be a sacred mirror and tool for remembering who you are beneath the noise, the roles, and the expectations. It can also be a portal to embodying your next powerful identity.
My sessions aren’t about posing perfectly. They’re about creating images that reflect back your desire and your powerful presence — through soulful storytelling, authentic self-expression, and connection.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to see yourself in your reclaimed power, to step into your next era, or to reclaim a part of you that’s been quiet for too long…
this is your invitation.
"I believe portraiture can be more than an picture. It can be ritual ~ a mirror that reveals the hidden archetypes within us, guiding us back to power, beauty, & wholeness."
