Bo***ir Photoshoots for Everyday People

This is an invitation for YOU to celebrate who you are, step a little outside your comfort zone, and invest in yourself by booking your very own photoshoot.

Whether you’re “unphotogenic” or have done a session before….

Or if you’re a mixture of excited (and terrified!) to do a bo***ir session…

I want you to know I’ll be here every step of the way to guide you.

From what to wear, to styling, to how to pose/move your body (and more!)...

I am here to celebrate you and capture dozens of images you love. Even if you have never loved a photo of yourself before.

If you are like most of my clients, you are booking a bo***ir session to celebrate who you are right now and who you are becoming. Things like:

-needing to refill your cup
-wanting to reconnect with a side of yourself outside of parenthood or work
-being in a place where you’ve done the work and finally love and are at peace with who you are
-weight loss, weight gain
-divorce, a breakup, separation
-celebrating a milestone birthday (40, 50, 60, 70…)
-creating a gift for a significant other
-wanting a fun day of pampering

These are all wonderful and valid reasons to book a photoshoot, not that you need a reason to celebrate yourself today. “Just because” is more than enough!

I cannot wait to meet and photograph you! ~Cory

I've been busy in the best way lately. So many amazing sessions! Here's a photo dump of some of what I've been up to 💕

(or to tell on myself and be completely honest, I've been accidentally saying, "I need to take a dump and post these photos" 🤦‍♂️😂)

My client just finished hanging up the portraits from her bo***ir session and I love how it turned out 💕

Wall art is a daily reminder that you are everything you were the day of your photoshoot: beautiful, brave, confident, etc.

I hear from people way to often, "Oh, I don't need anything of myself on the wall. I don't love myself that much."

Someone actually said that to me yesterday and I shrugged it off in the moment but then when I saw this photo of my client (another client) and her wall art come through I thought about yesterday's client said again.

That's actually really sad.

Do I expect you to have several images of yourself on the wall? No. But just to say that so casually to me, I'm sure you say things like that all the time. I hope you can be kinder to yourself.

I know what the woman in these photos went through to get to where she is now and to have photos she loved enough not to have just one but several of herself in her home. That fills my heart to know she could trust me with this chapter and to help capture these :)

It has been so wonderful to partner with Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks and help raise some money while also providing my clients with an amazing photoshoot experience!

Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks is such a great resource to this community. Helping with things such as free mammogram screenings and financial assistance for all the odds and ends of what goes into the daily strain it puts on families.

Nearly 1 out of 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Many of my clients have experienced breast cancer themselves or have seen a loved one go through treatments. This is why I am so happy we were able to raise some funds for them.

If you haven't interacted with them before, I'd recommend checking out BCFO and consider a donation yourself. https://bcfo.org/

Thank you to Cory from Cory Powell Photography for donating $750 from his Mother's Day campaign! We appreciate his support for local breast cancer patients! 🩷📸

I'm updating my disco set at my Springfield studio and adding even more!

Who wants first dibs on a disco photoshoot? 🙋‍♀️

You do not need to be a "model." In fact I'd rather you not be 🙂

Booking for August

Send me a message if you are interested. Thanks!

I respond within 1 business day to everything. Usually much faster than that!

If you don’t give me the correct phone number and you never check your emails, I won’t be able to reach you no matter how hard I try.

So if you’re like “I bought a photoshoot but haven’t heard from Cory...” This is your sign to reach out to me here because I probably don’t have the correct contact information for you 😉

This has now happened 3 times in the last month and I would love to get you all booked in for your sessions!
