This is the heart, ethos and experience of an embodiment session with me, Amanda Lucia.

Welcome to a photography experience that transcends the ordinary, a space where your authenticity and self-expression is deeply honored. Here, you are invited to step into and embody your whole, sacred self.

“My embodiment session with Amanda was life changing. To be witnessed instead of captured and seen instead of objectified was so powerful. She begins with a lovely centering and grounding and guides with an easeful, warm and inviting tone. The session was reverent, spacious and fun. She's so easy to be around. It was so moving. So much so that I almost forgot to mention the INCREDIBLE photos she took. Absolutely exquisite. I left that session feeling excited to be me.”

Queer artist, photographer and intuitive guide serving Frederick, MD area.

Photography lives in my bones. My grandmother—talented artist and portrait photographer—paved her way in a male-dominated field, passing down a legacy of creativity and determination. Now, I carry her same passion to create soulful imagery from the heart.

This work is my calling—I’m devoted to holding space for your FULL self—your humanity and divinity. I came here to be a loving witness, to reflect back the brilliance that’s already within you. I cannot wait to co-create something real and meaningful together.
