See what some of my Clients have been saying about their experience.
“What an amazingly transformative experience I shared with Ankya. I am one of those unphotogenic people, who is often disappointed when I see images of myself. They mostly do not reflect how I see myself. So in the past it is only every now and again that I find a shot that I like.
This is not the result I experienced with Ankya’s photos. It felt like she captured ‘my magic’, the many nuances of my being and the pictures she took all had something that was lovely to see. I wonder how she does it?”

“I am usually self-conscious around a camera but the session was so easy and deeply enjoyable – which was a surprise!
The resulting photos are so precious – and have actually strengthened and affirmed the many facets of who I really am at a soul level.
Interestingly, they also revealed to me my many ‘lifetimes’ from around the globe and I see the eternal nature of my spirit. This has connected me more solidly with my authentic power and wisdom.
The medicine of the process has been filtering through me and working on me. Subtle and very powerful! and its still going.
Thank you Ankya for this experience…and this beautiful chronicle of a moment in my life! A great gift.

Ankya helped me move past my fear of the camera. She was relaxed and fun to work with, and came up with some lovely shots that I’m quite pleased with.
Ankya has an eye ready to capture the best moments, a delight to work with.

“While I’m on the topic of photos, I also wanted to share this Soulscape photo which my mastermind member, Ankya Klay created for me. We were hanging out at the pool at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas (on my day off between masterminds) and Ankya asked if she could snap a few shots of me… the next thing I know she emailed me this incredible Soulscape which she created from one of the photos.
I wanted to share it because it feels like it represents the surrender and emergence of whatever is unfolding within me (and all of us) as we step further into transforming the world through conscious entrepreneurship. When I look at this Soulscape I can’t help but hear the words of Rickie Byars Beckwith’s song, “Use Me”… especially the line that says, “here I’ll abide as YOU show me all that I must do.” Thank you, Ankya!

“Imagine my happy surprise when out of a sense of quiet confusion on my part, what would we do, how would it work, Ankya walked in and was able to create within minutes a number of possibilities for my Transformational Photo Session which fired my imagination and, encouraging me all the way, she then proceeded to lead the photo shoot with the lightest of hands, the gentlest of creative suggestions, whilst at the same time maintaining focus, photographing myriads, and bringing a playful sense of freedom and within all that, a genuine honouring and acknowledgement of She Who Is Me.
An unanticipated joy has followed the completion of the photo shoot and (fast) delivery of photos for appraisal. I see now that a precious time in my life has been recorded forever, and already I am amazed that I could ever have considered Not making this beautiful event occur!
I trust Ankya’s creative skills, abilities and vision implicitly, and her professionalism is abundantly clear.
I can only recommend that anyone choosing to invest in a Transformational Photography session, will come away with much much more than a series of very lovely photographs.”

” I recently needed to have photos taken for publicity and for my long overdue web site. My problem is I hate having my photo taken. I am ridiculously self conscious in front of a camera and have always found the process excruciating. Thus, the photos have always tended to be ‘stiff’. So when my friend Ankya offered to take some photos, promising me that she’d make it fun and I’d even enjoy it, I somewhat reluctantly agreed.
Suffice to say that she didn’t lie. With all our laughing I soon relaxed into the process and she got some really good shots that I will be happy to use.
A consummate professional Ankya is exceptionally good at her job. She clearly enjoys being behind the camera to capture the essence of a person and makes sure you enjoy the process along with her. The proof of her success is in the extraordinary final product.”

“I was nervous to start with. I really felt I hadn’t had a nice picture taken of me for a long time. I also didn’t have makeup on and was in comfortable clothes waiting for a massage afterwards. Ankya made me feel so relaxed, and I got over the nerves pretty quick. I then felt so calm and just went with the flow. As the photo’s progressed, I felt a real sense of ‘self’ and serenity. I could feel a real connection with nature, my true self and the water around me. It was a really lovely experience. When I look at the photo’s now, I remember how I felt, and that feels good.
Thank you Ankya.”

“Yes it was truly inspirational seeing myself through the eyes of Ankya’s wonderful eyes.
I think this is the very first time in my life that I have allowed myself to see and open to the beauty within me. This was through the soft and gentle guidance and encouragement of Ankya’s voice that repeatedly said you are so beautiful, you are going to love this.
My first feelings were of shock at seeing my aging face and hands its been hard for me to allow myself to see my aging process of my body and accepting that i could at all be seen as beautiful…
You are ABUNDANCE ! It is an energy you Can Embody
As i relaxed into the photo shoot and started to free myself up I started to really enjoy the experience…I started to talk to my feet, telling them how much i appreciate the constant support and strength they are giving me on this journey of mine and then I allowed myself to lean back into the volcanic rook of this ancient goddess temple and feel the roots of trees stretching up into the universe i felt myself for the first time going to the depth of my soul and the roots within stretching up to the light and the love within me that is one with the beauty of nature and one with my own beauty.
My experience of seeing the photos I wanted to cry with joy at seeing my beauty shining out to the world and saying yes to my inner wisdom, strength, my feminine power, my wild hair my natural being true to my nature, my overwhelming sense of freedom yes its truly me. Yes I cherish the divine source of love and beauty within and I own it its me.
Thank you so much Ankya for being there and giving me this wonderful opportunity to appreciate and love myself through my own eyes for the first time and saying yes to being me.”

“Ankya, my photo session with you took me by surprise. I didn’t expect to see myself the way your photos portray me, and it gave me a very unique insight into the truth about who I am being. Your intuition in asking the right questions to evoke little sparks of who I am amazed me. And that you captured those sparks in your photos is truly sensational! This experience has opened me up to a whole new way of using photos to portray who I really am, to myself and to the world. I am so grateful for this experience with you, Ankya!”

“Our Transformational Photography session was a deep healing communion with myself, nature, and my sister-soul, Ankya.
We played with sarongs, leaves, flowers, and the majesty of Bali and I unveiled parts of my body I usually hide to Ankya’s loving lens. “You are your own temple,” she told me, and I knew it to be true. I will never be the same; I will never look at myself in the same way again.”

“A photographic session with Ankya is a unique and magical experience. Ankya makes you feel totally at ease and manages to capture images that are honest, real and beautiful. I have a background in glossy magazines where everything is styled within an inch of its life. However, Ankya’s photography brings out an authentic quality I’ve rarely seen elsewhere. So many corporate headshots of entrepreneurs lack soul – Ankya’s photographic process helps you find yours.”

“When I was being photographed by Ankya, I felt a deep sense of trust, care and love.
Ankya has the capacity to put the person before her in a state of deep relaxation as she lets the photo session unfold at her subject’s favoured speed.
I truly felt the feminine energy emerge in a powerful way, as Ankya took me from self-consciousness to self-love, from awkwardness to Oneness.
I can’t recommend Ankya highly enough, to anyone ready to embrace the Divine within …. or to anyone willing to witness who they truly are … in body, mind and spirit …. for the very first time, through the lens of a camera.
Thank you Ankya. You have a unique and Universal gift to offer.”

A photograph often says as much about the relationship between the subject and the photographer as it does about the subject alone. Ankya has a magical energy that makes you feel very special and also in-tune with your spirituality when she is photographing you. Looking at the photos she created she seems to have captured something of the essence of me. This is a unique skill and I am very grateful for her vision.”
