These ain't ya momma's
Glamour Shots.

Let’s get one thing (crystal) clear:

But in case you need proof...

That's my mom, my sister,
and yea, that's me circa 1995.

I'm on the right and

I was kind of a big deal.

Styles may have changed but one thing hasn’t; we exist in a world where we feel unseen in our everyday lives. You don’t need an excuse to BOOK THE SHOOT or a supportive partner to share the images with. Do this for YOU! Document who you are right NOW before you wake up as the next leveled up version of yourself.

 Here's how it works...

Flirting with the photo shoot.

We’ll get you scheduled for the pre-shoot consult, where you’ll tour our studio, peruse our portfolio, and start daydreaming about all the possibilities.

Let’s date.

Once we set your date, it’s time for all things girl talk—the style you’re after, the wardrobe you can’t stop thinking about, any props you want to bring in, and total G-L-A-M-O-U-R.

Glam-packed.

Show up at your shoot with clean hair, and a fresh face. (You’ll spend about an hour with hair and makeup before it’s lights, camera, attraction.) Our professional stylist will be by your side for the entire shoot, ensuring that there’s not a single hair out of place.

Pout, pucker and pose.

Over the course of 2 hours, you’ll swap between 3-5 different outfits and sets as our photographer finds your very best angles and poses.

The Reveal!

After the shoot we’ll have lunch together, before sitting down for an in-person reveal & ordering sesh where you’ll pick the images you want to purchase from your 40+ best images. (You’ll also have the opportunity to design your album and order any additional images or products.)

It’s not just a photo shoot. Or putting on some cute clothes and getting your hair done

(although those are pretty
awesome things on their own).

The confidence you gain
will last a life time.

The memories of how you felt will never fade. And the look on your loved ones faces when you share the photos is one you’ll remember forever. This is about finding the beauty deep inside you and bringing it to the surface. A reminder to #ExistInPhotos.

Design your dream portrait experience.

We know that simple is sexy, which is why we offer three Luxury Fine Art Portrait Session packages that you can upgrade to your heart’s (and à la carte’s) content after your session. Complete the form below and you’ll automatically receive an email with rates and a link to schedule a virtual pre-shoot design consultation.

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

  • A: Inquire above! We will hop and a phone consultation to chat all things photoshoot! We will likely get a date on the calendar for your shoot at the time of our phone consultation as well. Our calendar fills up quickly, so we highly recommend that you don’t wait to schedule with us (even if it’s months in advance). If you do wait to schedule, we’ll be in touch with periodic reminders that contain the link to book your session.

  • A: We understand that sometimes life happens, and it’s important to us that you’re able to feel your best self on the day of your session. That said, we ask that you give us 2-3 weeks notice in the event of a reschedule, one time only. We are able to make an exception to the 2-3 weeks notice in the event of illness, emergency, or an act of God herself.

    For our full policies on rescheduling/cancellations, you can always refer back to the contract that you will receive after the purchase of your session. Please note that we reserve the right to deny reschedule requests within the bounds of this contract.

  • A: We shoot Thursdays & Fridays and offer appointments at 10:00am and 1pm. If your heart is set on shooting with us on a Saturday, there is the option to add this onto your session for an additional fee.

  • A: Not unless you want them to be! We respect the fact that it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there and for some folks just being behind the camera is intimidating enough. This is a very intimate experience and we will do whatever it takes to make you feel confident and comfortable. Our hope is that you will receive your retouched images and feel so empowered and sexy that you can't help but show everyone you know!

  • It sure does! We will schedule a wardrobe consultation 4-6 weeks before your session to nail down what you will wear!

  • A: Please feel welcome to bring a friend as a cheerleader! Or, maybe you mean you want to shoot with a friend? In that case, we’ll chat about how that works during your phone consultation!

  • A: For sanitary reasons, we do not carry lingerie in our studio wardrobe. But if you plan to shoot boudoir, we’ve still got you covered! Our sister business Naughty Bettie carries inclusive sizes and styles of lingerie for all bodies.

    *Bonus: Your session comes with a credit to spend in the boutique!

  • A: After choosing your favorites, you can expect your final, retouched digital gallery 2-3 weeks after your session! YAY!

    If you ordered an album, prints, or a magazine, you can expect physical products to be ready 4-6 weeks after you’ve approved the layout unless otherwise noted.

    Please note that delivery of your final gallery will be held if you have an unpaid balance on any additional images you might purchase.
