The Moth Muses 2026 Experience

There comes a moment when a vision can no longer be held inside. A story waits to be told. A darkness waits to be embodied. Moth Muses 2026 is that moment a three-month, immersive, dark fantasy photography experience where you don’t just model, you co-create.

I’ve dreamed of these sessions for years, and now I finally get to bring them to life: 3 months of transformational sessions, curated imagery, bonus rewards, and a December group finale. And I want you in the shadows with me.

What is Moth Muses?

Moth Muses is not a traditional photoshoot. It’s a collaborative artistic journey for women who want to step into fantasy, dark elegance, and otherworldly power. Over three months, each Muse participates in three individual sessions, each focused on a unique theme and archetype. You’ll receive 5 curated images per session, with opportunities to earn extra images, edits, or mini-sets through bonus tasks.

The Dark Fantasy Sessions You Could Embody

Each of these archetypes has a story, an energy, a magic waiting for the right Muse. These are just some of the ideas I want to capture within our Moth Muse 2026 cycles:

• 🦄 Unicorn – whimsical, magical, untamed

• 🌕 Lady in the Moon – serene, luminous, mysterious

• 🧜‍♀️ Siren Librarian – seductive, intellectual, enchanting

• 👰‍♀️ Victorian Ghost Bride – haunting, elegant, timeless

• 😇 Fallen Angel – ethereal, sorrowful, powerful

• 🌊 Underwater Without Being Underwater – dreamy, fluid, otherworldly

• ☠️ Poison Empress – dangerous, commanding, intoxicating

• 🖤 Necromancer’s Muse – dark, enigmatic, mystical

• 📚 Book Fairy – clever, whimsical, literary

• 🍵 Witch’s Tea Party – playful, magical, mischievous

• 🦊 Fox Enchantress – clever, wild, cunning

• ⚡ Storm Weaver – fierce, chaotic, elemental

• 🌿 Moss Queen – grounded, timeless, enchanted

• 🔮 Tarot Deck Goddess – mystical, symbolic, magical

• 🏴‍☠️ Pirate Witch – adventurous, rebellious, untamed

Each session is designed to fully immerse you in the archetype, from wardrobe and props to mood and creative direction.
