a love letter to everyone who supported us in 2022.

This blog post is a love letter to everyone who booked a session with us this year, or came to a retreat, workshop, group photoshoot, or just lurked on the internet and hearted our content, replied to our posts, or shared in our Facebook Group.

Thank you for allowing us to continue creating art, sharing art, and living our dream.

Thank you for allowing us to wiggle our ways into your heart and plant seeds of self love, celebration, and beautiful rebellious thoughts of self-love, body-love, and adoration for SELF.

We would not be able to do this work without all of you – so we are forever grateful.

The end of the year is one of my own personal faves, because I love reflecting on all that transpired over the last trip around the sun. Here are some of my fave memories for 2022 for you to relive with us.

Thank you for being here - we are in awe of you.

With all our love,

Your Moss Team – Misty/Molly & Anne Marie

BARE SOUL RETREATS.

In 2022 we were able to be around people again, laugh together, and make memories together. We drank up every moment in which we could do so. Starting with our first ever retreat collaboration as Bare Soul Retreats in Tofino. This photography self-love retreat was a labour of love with Rosie Bitts, and we were so grateful to be able to share it with the attendees.

MUSES GARDEN PARTY.

Back in September, on the autumn equinox, we said goodbye to summer with a garden party & group photoshoot. Our first official group photoshoot, this event felt like the self-love version of Bridgerton. It was such a beautiful way to come together as a community, and we can’t wait to host more in 2023 when the weather turns warm and beautiful.

THE WORKSHOPS.

In 2022 I had the honour of hosting not just one, but TWO dark and moody photography workshops at my studio to help other photographers and creatives learn the ropes of creating painterly boudoir photography. I’m so grateful to be able to help educate other creatives – this is definitely something I plan on leaning into next year, because it really lit me the f*ck up seeing everyone get nerdy with me about lighting. Can’t wait to share more inspo and knowledge this year!

Of course, 2022 wouldn’t have been complete without our wonderful associate, Anne MariE.

In 2022 we officially brought on Anne Marie as our associate photographer, who was previously just hiding in my instagram and emails corresponding with babes behind the scenes. It was time to bring on a second set of hands to help with the influx of clients we wanted to help capture + be a part of their transformational journey. I could write a whole ass paragraph about how special this woman is - and one day I probably will! But for now I just wanted to share some of the incredible art she made with some of her clients in the studio this last year!

and that brings us to… the sessions of 2022.

I am beside myself with gratitude for everyone who came in through our doors this last year. We made so much beautiful art, heard so many stories, were able to be a part of so many self-love journeys and journey’s of self celebration.

Thank ya’ll so so much – here’s to the next year creating art and capturing ya’ll as the magical works of art that you are!
