embody your essence: sarah’s photoshine

“I imagine that unlearning and shedding the layers of what the world has told me about my body will continue for the rest of my life. We live in a society that makes it almost impossible to feel good about yourself, to feel and affirm unconditional love for the body you’re born in. 

I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have been supported, accepted and photographed by Augusta for her “Embody Your Essence” series. She really saw into my soul and captured exactly what I was feeling—what I was embodying— in those moments: ease, peace, unbridled joy, irreverence. 

Years later, I feel so empowered whenever I marvel at them. I think, ‘damn, that’s me and I did that!’ Being witnessed by Augusta and the trees through this incredibly spiritual healing practice is something I will always hold close to my heart.”
