MELODY SMITH PORTRAIT
Editorial and Fine Art Portrait Photography Studio Servicing Richmond VA & Surrounding Areas
...embodied...
There’s a chapter of your life that’s been living
in your body instead of your words.
WHAT IS THIS?
This exclusive session is a single fully styled look, slowed down to focus on guided, expressive movement.
You will be led entirely through a series of subtle and beautiful changes in expression and body language.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT POSING.
This is about STORY TELLING in MOTION.
Are you ready to see your courage, strength, & confidence honestly?
This is not a fit for
- Anyone looking for micro posing & perfection
- Someone who wants a full glamour transformation
- Individuals looking for headshots or classic portraits
- Those who are not open to taking direction
When was the last time you felt comfortable just being yourself?
WHAT TO EXPECT
- No Pressure to Be Perfect -
There is zero performance here. Expressions and movement are carefully considered for beauty and story telling designed to suit anyone at any level of personal discovery.
-Discover What Your Body Language Communicates.
Are you shy and introverted? Bold and expansive? Joyous and free? Open and observant? Powerful? Enduring?
- Expression Without Expectation.
Everything is designed so that body language directs expressions naturally. You can’t help but smile if you’re asked to tickle yourself!
- A Space that is Designed Specifically For You to Feel “Safe” to Express Yourself.
We take our time and ease into everything…this isn’t a stage, but there is direction, guidance, support and endless encouragement.
- A Way to Connect to yourself.
This is a chance to let loose, leave insecurities behind
and take up space.
- Create an artistic visual story of who you are
beyond the mirror.

ready to move!
What makes this different?
These sessions are designed to intentionally slow down and focus on creating a series of images that allow for natural movement and expression to come through
versus controlled micro posing.
Because these sessions are stripped down to a single focus with out the production of a full session, I am able to offer these for a LIMITED TIME at a much lower rate!
The goal is to create a set of images that tell your story with out words, explanations or apologies.
