The Reflection
An Alchemical Experience for Healing in Portland, Maine
Your body, a living spell - bold, tender, and wholly you.
The Reflection: An all in one, VIP experience with award-winning Photographer & Guide, Jen Dean.
An all inclusive, luxury Portrait Session.
Therapeutic Healing through guided assignments & practices.
Intuitive Wisdom & Connection in sisterhood.
Ritual, Revelation, Radiance. Your sacred self made visible.
I created this VIP experience - a more spacious, intentional journey together before you step in front of the camera. Together we’ll begin easing nerves and opening the door to deeper self-connection by spending several sessions of calls and time together curated to just what you need.
From there, you’ll step into a luxurious portrait session with curated wardrobe, gifts, and a deeper connection, to yourself and to me - an experience designed to help you feel truly seen, celebrated, and changed in the way you see yourself.
- Jen
Embodiment as ceremony - see yourself sacred.
You are a living spell — shy and bold, sacred and playful, tender and electric, all at once.
You move in many realms of reality, and all of them are true. You long to be seen - fully, finally, fiercely - in all your dimensions.
You’re ready to return to your inner knowing, to trust the quiet voice of your intuition, to see yourself as whole and holy in your body, just as it is right now.
You’re ready to remember how to love the miracle of your body, listen to the pulse of your sensuality, and deepen the knowing that hums beneath your skin.
To be met exactly where you are, and to awaken to the complete truth of yourself in body, mind, and spirit.
This is the space I have created for you to witness yourself with love, to honor what’s rising, and to gently heal what’s ready to be released with me by your side.
What does this offering include?
Guidance & Therapeutic Healing.
Intuitive Wisdom & Connection
An all inclusive Portrait Session.
A three part experience.
Part 1 Sacred Velvet Unveiling
-
We will start with a meeting where you will share the story that brought you to now and your desires for our session.
I will gift you The Ingenious Alchemy Course and all the recordings so that you can access the workbook teachings and assignments at any time.
Together, we’ll move through the beginning of Ingenious Alchemy Workbook not just as a series of prompts, but as a living map - exploring practices that invite you to witness yourself with new eyes, soften old narratives, and reawaken your connection to you the sacred intelligence of your body, intuition, and personal truth.
Part 2 Flame Fed Magic
-
On the day of the session we will begin with curated gifts of beautiful hand made items to awaken your senses. Several of the items are made by artisans that are personal friends and witches.
Next, through the mythic mirror of tarot, I’ll guide you into a reading that reveals what you are being called to remember as well as the liminal doorways waiting to be opened. With the cards as our compass, we’ll weave meaning from their symbols as subtle invitations from the unseen and uncover the stories waiting to be reclaimed
Part 3 Alchemical Transformation
-
Your portrait session will begin with adornment: having your hair and makeup done by our experienced stylist. You will have access to our full closet of dresses, robes, vintage outfits, wings, lingerie and more. You will have safe space and permission to be fully in your body, to play, and relish yourself as a sensual being.
Our time together will be filled with laughter, music, connection, and purposeful empowerment curated just for you. After the session we will meet again to revel in your portraits and relive the magic of our time together.
An experience beyond the lens - a homecoming to your truth.
Be seen, held, and celebrated.

Testimonials
-
“Jen is a super fabulous, amazing, fun, hilarious, gorgeous soul. She’s invigorating to be around. Her smile is contagious. When she photographed me she made me feel so ALIVE. Jen captured me, the real me, in a way no one else ever has. I am beyond grateful.”
-
"If you're considering working with Jen, you should know that she is someone who deeply listens, who is intuitive and trusts her gut, she cares about what you're all about and what makes you special...and she's completely on your side. There may be a number of talented photographers in Maine, but I can't think of another person who has this blend of beautiful talent, business acumen, and spiritual connectedness. Good photos are an investment, and you get what you pay for, and more, with Jen."
-
"In her hands, I have never felt more sexy, powerful and seen than in that space. Her words of encouragement and incredible patience truly showed me just how beautiful I really am, despite the means things I tell myself. I needed to be uplifted, loved and appreciated and I felt all of those things on a level I could not have imagined."
What I offer is more than an experience — it’s ceremony.
One that transforms the way you see yourself, that lingers in your body and spirit, and gently leads you to the doorstep of your own empowerment.
I hold space for each woman in complete reverence - a place where you are free to unravel, and to be wholly seen. I have a gift for tuning in to your soul’s quiet language, sensing what you need in each unfolding moment.
I trust that every step you’ve taken has led you here - to this moment, this meeting, this alchemy we are about to create together.
I will be your guide.
I am a witch, zoophilist, and psychopomp - a healer, keeper of secrets and weaver of sensual rites. I walk with spirits, speak to plants, and honor the animals as kin.
Through over 27 years as a photographer, I have made image into ritual - a way to witness the body not as object, but as altar. My work is an invocation of the sacred feminine in all her textures: shy and bold, soft and feral, tender and fierce.
In my sessions, we remember. We reclaim. We rise - velvet-clad and serpent-spined, whole and holy.
Your body, a living spell - bold, tender, and wholly you.
