Hi, I’m Shiva.
After a successful full time career in freelance/art/commercial modelling and background acting for over 5 years, I became the HMUA, Photographer Assistant and Posing Coach for my former partner (a full time photographer), for 5 years while getting certified in and starting my Hypnotherapy, NLP Life Coaching practice.
We opened our photography studio in Montreal in the summer of 2020.
I took a break from coaching in 2022, picked up the camera and started to capture emotional portraitures of everyday life. Within this natural progression and my lifelong desire to merge art and life, the camera has given me an outlet to showcase how I view and experience the World, you, and my surroundings. I relocated back to Toronto December 2022 and have made a new life for me here.
I have taken what I learned from my many years in front of the camera, on set, and being a certified Coach applied it to my photography work.
In 2023 I have stumbled upon the world of Stills Photography, documentaries and filmmaking.. My husband, Elijah and I are bringing visions to life over at Shadow Motion Pictures.
My photoshoot sessions combine many of my past and present careers; Stylist-Image Consultant- Marketing Specialist- Model, Makeup Artist- Photo Posing Coach, Photography Studio Owner- Photographer- Certified Life and success Coach.
With every interaction and shoot, I am lit up that I get to capture your transitional moments of love, freedom, expression and embodiment. Thank you for your trust in me.
Thank you for reading.
And for taking the adventure with me. If you have any questions or would like to chat, I would love to hear from you.
