Hands wrapped around a cup of black coffee, sending wisps of steam curlicuing up into the morning sunlight. A quiet storefront, glassy windowed and framed with chipped paint, waits for its first customer. A foggy bathroom mirror after a bedtime bath. A half-eaten bowl of soggy Cheerios sits forgotten; the morning school routine hurries on. A meandering riverbank, her waters cold and beckoning, waits for little toes. A majestic mountain landscape throes shadows and light across its dreamy, verdant blanket of treetops. A sandy Southern shoreline with foamy, salt-crusted tidal fingerprints makes the ideal partner for a wintry sunrise.

We’ve all got our own unique notions of home and place. The depths of meaning we each assign to one place or another, depend largely on our stories, our histories. How we’ve lived and loved in them, lost and found, grown and become in these places determines how they captivate, and how we carry them with us. What settings mean the most to you? Which places frame the chapters of your own story? When you picture your “lifestyle,” where do you find yourself?

Hungry Ghost was created just for this - to help you catch and capture your stories for safe keeping, however big or small they may be. Whether it’s in your home, memorizing your daily school routine in all of its dizzying, hectic imperfections, or maybe on the beach, cozied up in blankets with nothing but sand and sky - I’ll come to you. I’ll come to YOUR place.

It’s my job to learn your special map dots and then help capture your life in them just as you want to remember it. I’m happy to offer suggestions, guidance and creative direction as needed, but in a Hungry Ghost lifestyle session, I am most inspired by you and your own unique aspects. This is all about grabbing life’s littlest, most precious moments - the offbeat ones that we might otherwise miss - but that are beautiful all the same. I won’t tell you where to go or how to dress, I won’t give you props to make things look cooler - your life is so beautiful just as it is. That’s the essence of what a Hungry Ghost lifestyle session is all about.

And so. When you know which stories you’re ready to tell - just name the place. And I’ll meet you there.
