The Six Themes of Iridescence: A Journey into Story, Self, and Becoming

There are so many versions of you—past selves, becoming selves, the ones you’ve hidden, the ones you’re longing to embody. Iridescence is about honoring the fullness of that spectrum. These six themes serve as invitations—open doors into the parts of yourself waiting to be witnessed, remembered, reclaimed, and celebrated.

Each theme offers a different way to explore who you are: not as you perform, not as you’ve been told to be, but as you truly are—shifting, layered, alive.

Let’s walk through each one.

The themes are invitations. Doorways. Mirrors. They shift and blend. You may find yourself in more than one, or move between them.

Below, you’ll find a brief introduction to each one—how it connects to the three pillars of Iridescence (Transformation, Reclamation, and Identity), and who might recognize themselves within it.

Elemental: Returning to the Body and the Earth

Earth. Air. Fire. Water. This theme invites you to step into the raw, instinctual forces of your inner landscape.

It’s for the part of you that feels deeply connected to nature—whether that looks like grounding and stillness, flow and softness, spark and intensity, or expansiveness and breath.

Elemental connects to the pillar of Identity, as you explore the textures of your own presence.

You might feel drawn to this theme if you:

• Feel most at peace or most alive in nature

• Are attuned to sensation, movement, or the body

• Want your images to feel intuitive, emotional, and rooted

Reclamation & Alchemy: Transforming What Has Been Carried

This is the theme of turning the old into something new. It's about returning to the parts of yourself you may have dimmed, hidden, or set aside—and choosing to bring them back into the light.

Reclamation & Alchemy connects strongly to the pillar of Reclamation, with an undercurrent of Transformation.

You might resonate with this theme if:

• You are healing through a major life change

• You’re ready to rewrite a narrative that once held power over you

• You want to be witnessed in your strength, resilience, and growth

Dreamscape & Vision: Imagining What Wants to Be Born

This theme invites you into the spaces between reality and imagination—where intuition, inner worlds, and possibility unfold.

It’s soft, surreal, expansive.

Dreamscape & Vision ties into the pillar of Transformation, particularly in how you imagine who you’re becoming.

This theme may call to you if:

• You see your life in symbols, metaphor, or imagery

• You’re guided by intuition, dreams, or daydreams

• You want your images to feel otherworldly, poetic, or luminous

Power & Presence: Stepping Into Your Full Expression

This is your grounded self. Your voice. Your confidence. Your quiet or radiant strength.

Not performance. Not proving. Simply being—fully and unapologetically.

Power & Presence aligns with the pillar of Identity, inviting you to step into your space without shrinking.

You may be drawn to this theme if:

• You’ve grown into a deeper, more rooted version of yourself

• You want your images to reflect maturity, self-awareness, and inner strength

• Your presence speaks louder than your words

Shadow & Light: Honoring the Depth and the Contrast

We are never just one thing.

This theme honors your contrast—the tender and the fierce, the hidden and the bold, the quiet and the bright.

Shadow & Light connects with Transformation, because acknowledging the full spectrum is a profound act of becoming.

This theme may resonate if:

• You’re drawn to emotional depth and authenticity

• You’re comfortable in nuance and complexity

• You want your images to feel intimate, honest, and real

Identity & Expression: Claiming Your Voice, Form, and Presence

This theme celebrates you—your essence, your voice, your edges, your softness, your story. It’s about showing up as yourself in a way that feels free and true.

Identity & Expression connects to both Identity and Reclamation, as you honor the self you’ve grown into—and the self still emerging.

You might feel aligned with this theme if:

• You’re embracing authenticity in a new way

• You’re claiming space after shrinking, shifting, or masking

• You want your images to feel personal, expressive, and you

Closing the Circle

These six themes aren’t costumes or characters. They aren’t roles to play. They are doorways into your becoming.

Your session will naturally lean into one or more of these themes through conversation, emotion, intuition, and the space we create together. There is no choosing. There is only emerging.

Your story. Your light. Your becoming. ✨
