LIFESTYLE EMBODIMENT

What people are saying //

“Working with Sterling was a dream. She is so mindful and intentional throughout the photoshoot, creating a safe and sacred space so your true essence can come out to play and truly shine. The entire shoot is a ritual, connecting with the land through love and gratitude, and connecting with the body through breathing exercises. I would recommend her to anyone looking to see themselves for who they truly are, allowing their soul’s radiance to show through.”

“My experience with Sterling was incredible and in many ways she was a lifesaver. I fully believe the universe aligned the stars at exactly the most vital time in my life and helped me to find her when I needed her most. The photoshoot was one of the most important and wonderful experiences I could have been blessed with at this difficult but exciting stage in my life. She created a calm and warm environment, but most importantly for me, a safe place. I highly recommend Sterling for her life-changing embodiment photoshoots.”

“Sterling's presence in itself is calming and grounding. She has a very special gift that I've experienced and also learned from — she is present, genuine and comforting, it may sound simple but it's a treasure and one not commonly encountered. The breathing and meditation exercises we did before the photoshoot helped me to feel comfortable in front of a camera. Sterling helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin - which to me is priceless. As a light-skinned Pacific Islander, I rarely felt comfortable with my appearance... until I moved to the mainland for college. But even then while I felt adequately assimilated, my soul felt split. This experience has helped me to love myself wholly and fully, marrying my two selves that I had kept separate for too long. Never would I have thought that a photoshoot would allow me that. Sterling’s talents are very special and unique. I am forever grateful that our paths crossed. To anyone thinking about an embodiment photoshoot, I say go for it. And if an embodiment photoshoot doesn't really sound like your thing, still consider it :) I thought the same, but I'm really glad that I did it. I've always wanted to be able to capture the moon's beauty as seen through my eyes... not easy. But Sterling seems to do just that in her photography. Capturing the pure beauty and magic of another!”

“I was introduced to Sterling through a mutual friend and I am forever grateful that our paths crossed.  I have gone on a few journeys with Sterling as well as an embodiment photoshoot and all have been life-changing experiences that I will never forget.  All of these spaces were brand new to me so there was a bit of anxiety and fear with the unknown, however from the first call I had with her, Sterling’s presence, her voice, her energy were welcoming, calm, and exactly what I needed and all the fear and anxiety quickly dissipated.  Regarding the embodiment photoshoot, I have never been one to enjoy having their picture taken nor had I ever really celebrated myself so one can imagine the anxiety leading up to it.  However, once we started all that anxiety went away and it was one of the most freeing and empowering experiences and I attribute that all to Sterling.  Before I knew it, I was frolicking through the forest with not a care in the world and it was an experience that has been so healing for me and I am fortunate to be able to relive it every single day with the beautiful pictures that Sterling took.  Her pictures are a constant reminder of self-love, self-empowerment, and that I am enough by simply being me.  Sterling has gifted me so much and has altered the trajectory of my life and I highly encourage anyone looking for a shift to connect with her and experience all the gifts she has to offer you!”

“Connecting with Sterling for an embodiment shoot was an unforgettably empowering and grounding experience. Sterlings calm energy made it easy to focus on the importance of honoring myself in the present moment. She has a natural gift to provide a safe space for creativity, guiding you with softness, acceptance, and positive light. As someone who is rather shy, I felt strong in my ability to trust the process with her gentle offerings, and connect deeper to self love within nature. The evening of our shoot was one of the most magically serene experiences landing at such a pivotal transition in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and intuitive guide to capture the light that shines within. Looking forward to the opportunity to connect and create again.”

“Working with Sterling for our Embodiment Photoshoot included many of my favorite things: intention, ceremony, connection with nature, play and lots of laughter! Her gentle, grounded presence made it easy to settle into the moment and flow with the experience. I left feeling empowered, excited and grateful for the safe and intentional container to creatively collaborate.”

“I highly recommend Sterling for embodiment photo shoots. As I make my way out of my cocoon and transition into the next phase of my vibrant BEing, she was not only able to hold space for the perfection of where I was, she was also able to intuitively co-create the perfect environment for my evolved expression to blossom with grace. She sees you in wholeness, allowing the highest brilliance to naturally unfold as she captures nuances beyond perception. Our experience together was a special sacred journey where I was able to be present with who I was and who I was becoming all in the same space; sharing love, gratitude and reverence as my cocoon fell away, becoming aware of my expanded multidimensional self in excitement, and receiving a glimpse of where my new wings will carry me. Not only did I feel held the whole time, my whole transformation was also captured in our shoot, which was in exact resonance with my heart. Sterling and her offerings are a true gift to me and this world.

From every bit of my infinite heart, THANK YOU

“I’ve been blessed in having amazing photographers for my business brand throughout the past 20+ years. Yet, my session with Sterling Rung was like no other. Because she guided me in breath work and connection to my true self, I felt calm and relaxed throughout the photoshoot. I loved how she found the perfect places in nature which highlighted my authentic self, especially in her suggestions of how I could simply be. And if all of this wasn’t enough, Sterling has an incredible “eye” and captures light, movement and the model’s “best self”. She truly is a gifted photographer whom you will love experiencing.”

— Barbara

“Working with Sterling was an absolute joy and pleasure! Her gift as an artist and photographer is not only incredible but the container she held during the photo shoot was so healing!! It was such a beautiful container and she is not only a talented artist but a healer. At the beginning of our time together, she led me through a grounding and breathwork exercise that was so centering and helped me connect to my spirit. I felt so comfortable and at ease! Through the flow of our collaboration I was able to lean into deep embodiment supported by Sterling, the surroundings that we were in, nature, and the elements. She captured the essence of my spirit through the photos so distinctly. Sterling offerings are unique and special and I cannot recommend giving yourself the gift of doing a photo shoot with Sterling enough!”

— Kiki

“Sterling offered such a safe space and easy going atmosphere for my photoshoot. Her energy is naturally grounded and calm, which helped me feel spiritually connected to the nature we were surrounded in. The photos are absolutely stunning – Sterling was able to intuitively capture my essence within both professional and artistic shots. I would recommend this to any small business owner who wants to show their light to clients and customers, as well as anyone who wants to cherish their beauty for years to come.”

— Jazmin

“I was nervous for my branding photoshoot, but Sterling made the entire experience feel seamless and easy - just being in her grounding presence made me feel more comfortable in front of the camera. She's responsive, easy to work with, and even made suggestions of additional photo angles and poses - she intuitively knew what would fit the essence of my brand. I'm so happy with how the photos turned out and highly recommend working with Sterling!”

“Sterling is the most wonderful photographer. Our first shoot together we hiked a trail to a river. I am not the most athletically inclined and I have a fear of heights to boot, but Sterling held my hand when I was nervous, and even found spots along the way to take some pictures. She has such a calming presence I instantly felt at ease with her. She was open to ideas but also had a solid concept in her mind. She always noted the details; whether my hair was out of place, or fewer ferns were needed. Spending the day tree bathing and sitting with my feet in the water was so restorative and brought me so much peace. I knew I definitely wanted to work with Sterling again. The finished photos were extraordinary. She really has such an eye, and such a gift for capturing an interesting shot. When I looked at the photos of me, in the woods, I thought, “I look like art.” And any photographer who can make her model see that in a photograph is an incredible artist.”

— Teresa

“Sterling was an absolute joy to work with! Her creativity flowed and shined as an environmental artist and photographer. From the start she made sure that I was completely comfortable and know that my voice is heard. The quality in her photography, angles, editing style and mood that she brings is absolutely stunning and I instantly became a fan of her work. She is truly a must to work with, thank you Sterling for being you!”

— Destany

“Spent a magical afternoon with Sterling in the forest. Her calm energy instantly puts you at ease. She is a master at gently directing the shoot to bring out your best light. It's so easy to work with her and I am beyond thrilled with the photos! The composition of the photos and sunlight makes each one pure art. Would definitely make a trip to work with her again.”

— Noelle

“I feel like my true self came out through theses amazing photographs. I am honored to be photographed by someone so talented and kind. My expectations were blown out of the water, and I am so happy with the work Sterling has done. I hope to do this again some day, thank you so much!”
