Rexhame Beach Branding Portrait Session | Maureen Mann

I just recently met up with intuitive counselor and energy healer, Maureen Mann for a South Shore branding portrait session on Rexhame Beach in Marshfield, Massachusetts. It was such an honor to help Maureen express her spirit and expertise through these portraits for her business. I’m so pleased she asked me to be her photographer!

An early morning Rexhame Beach Portrait Session

When Maureen and I arrived at Rexhame Beach before sunrise, it was cloaked in fog. You couldn’t even see the ocean. The morning fog gradually lifted but it lingered for a while and came in and out, almost like the waves of the ocean. We chose this beach because it was important to her throughout her life and holds a lot of deep personal meaning.

I was really inspired by the work Maureen does with her clients:

“As a Holistic Psychotherapist, I incorporate a unique blend of energy healing, intuitive guidance and counseling into my practice. Integrating these modalities allows my clients to facilitate deep, rapid changes in their lives. I truly enjoy and feel privileged supporting people who are ready to experience transformative growth in their lives. Integral aspects of my work are helping people see their unique gifts and foster in them a sense of resiliency and self-efficacy.”

Each year, Maureen has climbed the rock at Rexhame Beach as a tradition of sorts. During our portrait session, when she climbed the rock, the fog was thick, and there was no sunshine. I asked Maureen to pause, close her eyes and breathe–being present in this moment and place. And when she did, the sun broke through the clouds behind her, and waves crashed. It was a powerful moment manifesting in nature, and it felt symbolic of harnessing one’s own energy and power –much like the work that Maureen does with her clients.

In a bit of a contrast with the powerful moment on the rocks, this portrait session also had a hilarious blooper. See, people love to walk their dogs on the beach in the morning. One of the dogs wanted to come over to say “hi” to us. He made a beeline for us and did his business right where we were set up for a portrait! Maureen and I both cracked up and couldn’t stop laughing!

It’s the little things like this that remind you not to take yourself or life too seriously.

Maureen, thank you for inviting me to work with you to create these amazing photographs for your business. It was such an honor to be your photographer for this South Shore branding session!
