Testimonials
(All photos captured in Photo Ceremony by Sanctuary Studio)
"Midori taught me that photography is not only about capturing photos. Photography, through her unique lens, is a sacred experience. A chance for two souls to connect deeply. It is a modality for healing that can be done with ceremony. A spiritual and transformative experience that can awaken your heart and liberate your mind.
She has truly given the art form a new meaning.
I assure you that if you ever get the opportunity to work with her, your perspective of photography will be forever changed.
I’ve never been more excited to share this expression of myself with the world.”

“Midori makes me feel at home.
Before our photoshoot, she dedicates her time to creating a sanctuary for us. She creates an altar, lights incense, pulls an oracle card and intuitively leads us in an opening ceremony.
I’d share my insecurities of being seen in front of a camera, and those insecurities would dissolve with Midori’s words, comfort and loving presence.
She hypes me up and reminds me of my true inner beauty and power. My experience in her photoshoots is a healing ceremony from beginning to end.
Thank you for holding and witnessing me.”

"I feel very comfortable taking photos of myself, but having other people take photos of me is a growth edge. I was very anxious before the ceremony, but the moment we began, all my anxiety melted away.
Midori led me through grounding breath work before we started taking the photos. She provided creative direction the entire time, which is exactly what I was needing.
This ceremony of being seen was healing on all levels.”

“Midori made me feel known. Shooting with Midori was not about capturing images, it was about her documenting an experience in which she guided me to see the shape of my own Light.”
