RITUAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Authentic Imagery for the Embodied Soul
For the artists, seekers, and soulful entrepreneurs ready to be truly seen—this is for you.
Portraits with soul, captured through ceremony, breath, and embodiment.
This is where photography becomes art—and you become the muse.

































THE RITUAL
This isn’t just about the final image—it’s about the process.
The slowing down.
The grounding breath.
The embodied presence.
The subtle transformation that happens when you feel safe enough to fully show up.
Together, we move with intention—through connection, ritual, and reflection—activating your inner light.
From there, we make art.
Magnetic. Authentic. Unforgettable.

CLIENT REVIEWS
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Sterling—founder of Ritual Photography and guide for the soulful, the seekers, and the creatives ready to be seen.
Ritual Photography was born in the deep desert, in a moment of reckoning—after I walked away from a career in corporate design that left me burned out, misaligned, and searching for something deeper. That chapter of my life cracked me open and set me on a path of healing, study, and spiritual remembrance.
Over the past seven years, I’ve immersed myself in the healing arts—studying somatics, energy work, metaphysics, and embodiment practices—so that I could not only heal myself, but hold space for others to do the same. Through this process, my art returned. It didn’t just come back—it erupted. Photography became my portal for transmuting pain into beauty, for honoring the body as a sacred vessel of truth, and for capturing the light that lives within all of us.
My own journey—from navigating physical trauma, workaholism, and nervous system dysregulation to reclaiming my body, voice, and creative power—informs everything I do. Now, I help others do the same.
Whether you’re here to create magnetic branding images, explore your personal story through portraiture, or step into a ceremonial experience of self-expression—my work is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and celebrated in your fullest expression. Through the wisdom of the elements, the body, and the camera, I’ll guide you in uncovering your unique gifts and capturing the art of who you truly are.
You are worthy of being seen—not just beautifully, but truthfully.
Let’s Connect
This work is deeply personal to me—it’s not just about beautiful images, it’s about creating moments of truth where you remember your own magic. I’m endlessly inspired by the raw, the real, and the radiant ways people show up when they feel safe and seen. It’s an honor to witness that in every session.
