Kind words on Open Inward Intuitive Portraiture

  • Dear Laurie Anne I just want to thank you for our wonderful session today. The concept of the Soulful Portraiture is amazing, the photo shoot after the reading is so much fun, I felt it really gave me some grounding being out in nature and all the laughing was like the final piece of therapy that I needed to fully release the emotions that came up in my reading – I couldn’t believe how I felt so much lighter when I left you. In the reading you gave me so much direction and what I love MOST is the way you made me look at myself in an honest but gentle way which has now given me the tools and confidence to motivate positive change in my life and relationships. Thank you so much for today – I truly feel blessed

  • Laurie Anne creates a welcoming, fun-loving and completely safe space that shines through in her beautiful photographs. I brought my own clothes but, in most of my favourite photos, I am wearing something sparkly and unexpected from Laurie Anne's collection. My photoshoot was about girl-time and dress-up but also about following Laurie Anne's ques to connect with what I most wanted to come through in the photos. Highly recommend!

  • I've navigated more than five decades on this Earth, gathering wisdom, scars, and stories. Never have I felt so seen until I stepped into Laurie Anne’s studio for my Intuitive Portrait session. It was as if I was reconnecting with an old friend—the wise woman within me. This wasn't just a photo shoot; it was a soulful revelation, a rediscovery of my inner sage, guide, and matriarch. The experience was a tapestry of intuitive guidance, and the result was a portrait series that was like looking into the eyes of my own inner knowing.

  • When I walked into Laurie Anne’s studio, I was immediately enveloped in a nurturing space that felt both sacred and welcoming. As a woman in my early 60s, I've been photographed many times, but never like this. She intuitively knew how to guide me into poses that felt both natural and revealing, as if she were capturing the essence that I, myself, had yet to fully embrace. The experience went beyond mere photography—it was a kind of a connection that felt familiar, and so it just felt right to do a deep dive into the real me. I couldn't believe the woman I saw in those portraits; so powerful, so complete.

  • I think as women we forget the importance of honouring and celebrating our milestones in life. We have totally lost our connection to the old ways where women were revered, and ceremonies were held to acknowledge our milestones moving from maiden to mother to wise woman. The opportunity to have Laurie Anne support and witness a snapshot of my journey transitioning into the role of wise woman was profound. The depth of my gratitude for this amazing woman knows no bounds. I have to confess I was very nervous at the beginning, as I truly don’t like my photo being taken, however Laurie held my hand and made the whole experience very joyful and powerful. Every woman should go through this process, not only to clear the blocks that can stop us from reaching for the stars, but to step into our power with joy, mischief and self-awareness.

  • As a woman in my mid-50s, I've grown tired of photographs that aim to capture only my exterior. My session with Laurie Anne was unlike any I've experienced; it was a spiritual odyssey that unshackled me from decades-old narratives about my appearance. In her studio—a sanctuary—I felt the freedom to unfurl, to be the 'me' that I've only dared to be in my most private moments. The resulting portraits aren't just images; I can honestly say that they're revelations. They declare, 'I am enough, I am loved, and I am uniquely beautiful.' This wasn't just a photo shoot; it was a rite of passage. The bonus Mini Twosome Shoot allowed me to share this profound journey with my daughter, creating a lasting memento of our deep, often unspoken, connection.

  • As a woman entering her 60s, I had started to feel invisible, as if my years diminished me in some way. The Portrait session with Laurie Anne flipped the script, transforming it into a narrative of empowerment. She encouraged me to shed the layers—literal and metaphorical—that concealed my wise-woman self. For the first time in years, I felt authentically captured. These portraits are like mirrors, reflecting back my inner wisdom. It's not just an image; it's a declaration saying, 'Here I am, in all my wisdom, resilience, and beauty.

  • In my late 50s, I was ready to embrace the wise woman in me but didn't know how. Laurie’ Anne’s approach to photography went beyond the lens and deep into my soul. She didn't just capture my likeness; she captured my essence. The experience was transformative, leaving me feeling seen, heard, and—most importantly—valued. My portraits are now daily reminders that I am a woman of wisdom, courage, and incredible inner strength.

  • The portrait session with Laurie Anne was unlike anything I’d experienced. As a professional used to a polished, controlled image, I was hesitant to truly let my guard down. But Laurie Anne has this remarkable way of seeing you—not just the version you present to the world, but the raw, genuine soul beneath. The images we created weren’t just photographs; they were revelations. For the first time, I saw a version of myself that felt real, grounded, and fully aligned with my inner truth. This work goes beyond photography; it’s an experience of self-acceptance and authenticity. If you’re ready to see yourself as you truly are, this is the gift you need.

    Jessica Webber

    Kingston, Ontario

  • In a world where I’m constantly putting on a polished exterior, Laurie Anne’s intuitive portrait session was a rare and unexpected chance to strip away the layers. I’ve never been comfortable in front of a camera, but with Laurie Anne, it felt less like a photo shoot and more like a soul-to-soul encounter. For the first time, I saw a reflection of my true self—the strength, the vulnerability, the authenticity I often hide. The images are beautiful, but they’re so much more than that. They’re reminders of who I am beneath the roles and responsibilities. I left feeling deeply seen, and profoundly changed.

    Sarah Manely

    Trenton, Ontario, Canada

  • Laurie Anne has a gift for capturing what lies beneath the surface. I came to her not just for a portrait, but for a different kind of experience—one that I couldn’t quite articulate at the time. As a leader in a fast-paced industry, I’m used to presenting a confident, composed self. But her intuitive process peeled back those layers, allowing a more vulnerable, unguarded side of me to come forward. The result? Portraits that reveal a quiet strength I had forgotten. It was a humbling and empowering experience, a true journey of self-acceptance.

    Janice Terrance

  • I went into this session wanting something more than a professional headshot. What I received was a transformative experience that defies the usual scope of portraiture. Laurie Anne has a way of drawing out aspects of yourself you may not even know exist. The session felt like therapy; it was raw, honest, and deeply introspective. When I look at these images now, I see someone I recognize, yet also someone new. It’s as though Laurie Anne captured the essence of who I am, both the past and the potential. These portraits are a gift, a reminder of my own journey and resilience.

    Angela Reiner

    London, Ontario

  • As a creative professional, I thought I understood the power of imagery. But Laurie Anne’s approach is entirely different—it’s not about capturing a likeness, but a presence. I felt seen in ways that are rare, even outside of portraiture. She has an uncanny ability to make space for vulnerability, to let you breathe and simply be. The portraits we created together are now some of my most cherished possessions. They’re not just photos; they’re visual testaments to my inner life, my courage, and my growth. Laurie Anne’s work is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered, and I am grateful beyond words.

  • Laurie Anne’s intuitive portrait work came into my life at a time when I was feeling especially disconnected from myself. In the midst of juggling professional and personal demands, I had lost sight of who I was outside of those roles. Her portrait session felt like a powerful reset. I walked in with my own doubts and insecurities, but her gentle guidance and presence helped me to let go. When I saw the final images, I felt a sense of recognition and peace that I hadn’t felt in years. It’s a rare and valuable experience to see yourself in such a raw, honest way. I left with not just photos, but a profound reminder of my own worth.

    Rebecca A

    Oshawa, Ontario

  • I came to Laurie Anne feeling uncertain and honestly a little skeptical. Portraits, I thought, were for special occasions or professional use. But this experience was something entirely different. Laurie Anne created a safe, sacred space that allowed me to go beyond the usual smile-for-the-camera routine. The images she captured are some of the most honest representations of myself I’ve ever seen. They’re powerful, grounding, and serve as constant reminders of the strength within me. It’s an experience I wish everyone could have—a chance to see yourself unfiltered, without judgment.

    Dana Escobar

    Whitby, Ontario

  • Laurie Anne’s intuitive portraiture session was more than just a photo shoot—it was an awakening. I’ve spent so much of my career presenting a polished, confident self, but this session allowed me to reconnect with something deeper. Her calm presence and intuitive guidance made it possible for me to let go and truly show up as I am. The portraits reveal not just my face but my spirit, my journey, my resilience. It’s a gift I’ll treasure, and a reminder to stay connected to the parts of myself that often get lost in the daily grind.

    Emma T.

    Cobourg, Ontario

  • I approached Laurie Anne for a portrait session out of curiosity, but what I received was so much more—a profound experience of self-recognition. In my profession, I am often hidden behind roles, titles, and expectations, and I rarely get a moment to simply be. Laurie Anne invited me into that space. The images she created are raw and beautiful, showing sides of myself that I usually keep hidden. When I look at these portraits, I see a softness and strength that I had almost forgotten. It's a priceless reminder of who I am beneath the layers.

    Lara M.

    Trent Hills, Ontario

  • Laurie Anne’s intuitive portrait work offered me a chance to see myself in ways that felt surprisingly unfamiliar and yet deeply comforting. In my line of work, I’m always expected to keep it together, to project an image of control and expertise. But this session invited me to let go of all of that. Her gentle, guiding presence helped me to relax, to feel safe enough to show my authentic self. The result was a series of images that reflect not only my outer self but the inner journey I’m on. I didn’t realize how much I needed this.

    Theresa F.

  • As a doctor, I’m trained to be the steady presence, the one who is always in control. Laurie Anne’s portrait session allowed me, for the first time in a long while, to relinquish that control and explore who I am underneath it all. Her process was calming and deeply respectful, guiding me to see the parts of myself that I don’t usually show. The resulting images are a mirror of my essence, my strength, my humanity. They’ve given me a new appreciation of myself, not just as a professional, but as a whole person. This was more than a photo session—it was a homecoming.

The images she captured are incredibly personal and strikingly honest. They are a reminder of my true self, a self that often gets lost in the demands of my career. I can’t recommend this experience enough for anyone feeling disconnected from their own essence.

    Mary K

  • For years, I’ve felt a growing disconnect between the person I know myself to be and the image I project to others. Laurie Anne’s intuitive portraiture offered a way to bridge that gap. The session was profoundly grounding—her gentle presence encouraged me to let my guard down, something I rarely do. The images she created are more than portraits; they’re reflections of the real, unfiltered me. They remind me to honor my own journey and to stay connected to the parts of myself that are authentic and enduring. This experience was truly invaluable.

I’m deeply grateful for the experience and would recommend it to anyone seeking to reconnect with themselves on a soul level.

  • Laurie Anne’s intuitive approach to portraiture is nothing short of extraordinary.

The session was relaxed and deeply introspective, and the portraits that emerged are the truest reflections of myself I’ve ever seen. They capture my authenticity, my spirit, and the parts of me I often keep hidden. This experience was a powerful reminder that I am allowed to be seen, fully and honestly. I am forever grateful.

These portraits are a profound reminder of who I am at my core, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

These images are now my anchors, a reflection of my deepest self that I can return to whenever I feel lost. This experience was a homecoming.

  • Laurie Anne’s intuitive portrait session was a breath of fresh air, something I didn’t know I needed until I experienced it.

The session felt like a journey inward, where I could simply exist without any facade. When I saw the portraits, I felt like I was meeting an old friend—the person I am when no one is looking. This experience was a gift that I believe everyone should allow themselves at least once.

The portraits she took are a reflection of my own resilience, my journey, and the beauty of being seen without judgment.
