Helen’s Story: The Sea Queen
Helen has always had a deep connection to the sea. Its endless horizon, its quiet strength, its ability to transform with the tides—all qualities she embodies. When she joined the MastectoME Project, we knew her portrait session had to reflect this powerful bond.

Together, we brought her vision to life in an extraordinary "Underwater Muse" themed shoot. Adorned with a crown of shells, corals, and sea flora, Helen sat regally as the queen of her own undersea world. Flowing aqua fabrics, delicate body art, and whimsical marine props surrounded her, creating a dreamlike seascape that celebrated her strength, beauty, and individuality.
The shoot was a powerful metaphor: like the ocean, Helen has endured storms and emerged even more magnificent. She now reigns with serene confidence over her personal journey and her body.
Helen’s session is a shining example of what the MastectoME Project is all about—helping women reclaim their narrative after mastectomy, transforming vulnerability into visual power, and capturing the incredible spirit of survivorship.
