We AREN’T a luxury bo***ir studio (and we’re proud of it)! Here’s why:

1. Celebrating yourself should be accessible (or as accessible as possible). Most people don’t have upwards of $1,000 to spend on a session + printed products - we definitely wouldn’t! You deserve to feel beautiful and empowered without spending more than you feel comfortable with. We aim to price our sessions in a way that covers our costs and doesn’t undervalue what we offer while appealing to a broader range of clients who may not have the ability to spend an entire month’s rent on photos.

2. Your time is valuable. A lot of luxury studios make the bo***ir experience into an all-day pampered affair, which can be great… but not if you’ve got a packed schedule (or just don’t want to be stuck inside all day). We have a lot to balance ourselves, so we don’t want to spend the entire day in the studio, either! Our 60-minute bo***ir sessions leave enough room to have tons of fun and fit in a few outfits without having to sacrifice an entire Saturday or Sunday.

3. We believe in cost transparency. This is a little controversial 🫣 but we see posts from other bo***ir studios ALL the time that downplay the difference between a separate session or sitting fee versus what the experience will cost in the end. Some studios will advertise an initial cost and then tell you later (or in the fine print) that you have to pay a separate fee to access your digital gallery or that you are required to spend hundreds of dollars on printed products! Granted, these studios are definitely more profitable than we are 😅 but we want you to know EXACTLY how much your bo***ir session will cost upfront and feel confident that a full digital gallery is always included in that cost. If you want to order prints after the fact, that’s awesome (but never required). You should get to enjoy your photos without feeling duped or resentful.

4. We want to show your truest self. Glamour photoshoots and elaborate themes can make for beautiful pictures, but we’d rather get to know you and create some magic in the moment. We love showing your authentic self in your photos (even if it’s a stylized version). We want you to feel empowered in your own skin. Fantasy photography is amazing, but it’s not what we do best - and it takes a lot of time and money to make it happen. We have 3 basic concepts for bo***ir sessions, but we will create an experience especially for you so it doesn’t feel cookie-cutter. We think of it as the best of both worlds!

This isn’t meant to trash any luxury bo***ir studio or photographer; they’re awesome at what they do (and are probably way better at running a business than we are!). We just think there’s also room for bo***ir that’s more financially accessible, inclusive, low-stress, and authentic to you 🫶🏻 So if you want to celebrate yourself while still leaving room in your day (and your budget) for all of the other stuff that matters to you, send us a message to get on the books 💕

Welcome, October… We’ve been waiting for you 🍂🎃🕯️ Spooky season sessions are always such a treat (no tricks!) and we love bringing bewitching visions to life every fall 🖤 While our October schedule is currently full, we’re always down to create something spellbinding during any time of year 👀 What’s a concept we should add to our to-do list?

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT 🗣️ What actually makes a great actor headshot, anyway? Because it’s not *just* a nice photo of you smiling at the camera! We believe a truly great headshot for actors and performers ticks these boxes:

☑️ You’re unquestionably the star of the show. You’re not competing with anything else for focus, so lighting is even, the background is simple, and every visual choice intentionally supports the message you want to send.

☑️ You know (and show) who you are. You’ve clearly put the work in to discover the kinds of roles you’re likely to play, without limiting room for possibility, and show exactly what you bring to the table without saying (or singing) a word.

☑️ You look like you do when you walk in the room. Your headshot accurately reflects your appearance and energy on any given day so the folks behind the table can recognize you and easily determine where you fit.

☑️ You’ve covered your bases so you have a great selection of shots to choose from for a wide variety of auditions, submissions, and other opportunities (and aren’t locked in to just one headshot).

☑️ You look comfortable, confident, and in your element, even if you secretly don’t like having your photo taken. Your headshots bring out what you love about yourself instead of highlighting your insecurities, which makes others want to lean in, learn more, and love you, too.

☑️ Your photographer understands the unique needs of performers (because actor headshots serve a much different purpose than corporate headshots!) and ensures you truly shine like the star you are.

Here’s the bottom line: We see so many incredibly talented local performers who are deserving of better headshots. As artists ourselves, we help showcase what makes our clients so special and make sure they have everything they need to succeed. So, let’s get you booked this season! 🎭

Headshot trends come and go, but we think these must-haves for endure. Tag a friend in the area who deserves a truly great headshot in the comments so we can connect 👀

We were heartbroken to learn that this magnificent magnolia tree is no more 💔 but we’re so grateful it can live on in the photos from Missy’s goddess session 🥹 It really shows how essential it is to document these magical moments: not only is nature fleeting, but our seasons of life are, too 🌳
