The Empowerment Portrait Experience

Photographing women has shown me many things. One thing that has become abundantly clear and stands out above all else is how often women don’t give themselves permission to take center stage, in their own lives or especially in photographs. We can be humble beings and play the supporting role for so many but sometimes forget to give that support to ourselves.

many women hide from the camera. We exist far too little if at all in our own beautiful photographic documentaries with our families.  

i am here for you! i work with women who are ready to become unapologetically seen in their lives and businesses. Since the concept is a new one for a lot of women, Let’s take a minute to alleviate your fears. Let’s get these negative thoughts and questions that prevent you from shining out of your head. Let’s give you the power back! and let’s schedule your Empowerment Portrait session right now!

  • I am confident with the time we spend together that you will have an experience that celebrates you uniquely. And when that magic happens, it is just NOT possible to not love the outcome. Along with assisting you with all the details - wardrobe, hair, makeup - you will also be receiving VIP treatment with self care, pampering, guided posing, and your favorite snacks and drinks.

  • Do you really need a reason other than being amazing? (The answer is NO!)

  • Your session fee covers securing your spot on our calendar, your pre-session calls, the location or studio time, styling and mood board creation, personalized photoshoot design, wardrobe styling and planning, arranging for onsite professional hair and makeup.

    This is designed to be a no stress experience!  

  • The session fee is meant to give you access to lock in your positive movement…in other words, we don’t want you to talk yourself out of this experience! And then you select ONLY the photographs you are absolutely proud to call your own!  

    After your session, you will come back to the studio for the most exciting part of the experience - your reveal session. A vast majority of our clients see themselves in a way they never have before and celebrate this through the Folio Box or the 9Up Mega Mat to remind them of their magic everyday!  

    Although I have grouped some budget friendly options into collections, you may also purchase individual images. There is no minimum purchase required and we also offer interest-free payment plans for those who spend over $1000.

    This is meant to be a day to celebrate you, not for high pressure sales. You are not obligated in any way to purchase anything beyond your session fee. Our reveal and designs are the very best part and incredibly fun and empowering. Our goal is for you to walk out of our studio feeling proud, strong and beautiful… with whatever art makes you joyful.

  • I have discovered a passion for empowering women to take center stage in their own lives. Most especially those who may not (yet!) be brave enough to have their story told or do not have the resources or funds to book their own Empowerment Portrait Experience.

    When you book your Empowered Portrait Experience, we gift $150 in your honor (a value equal to half the session fee) to a woman or girl whose story should be told and to help her find her fearless.

    Upon completion of your own experience you will be able to select one of two options:

    1.) To allocate your $150 gift to our featured woman selected through our quarterly application process.

    2.) Provide us with the name and address of a friend you would like us to mail a $150 gift certificate to from you!

  • We suggest booking at least 2 weeks in advance. This gives you plenty of time to shop for the perfect wardrobe items and accessories, if needed. That said, we do leave several session times open per month for clients who have an immediate need. ‘I’m going to be featured in an article and don’t have photos I love’ kind of thing. Though we may not always be able to accommodate sessions on a short notice, don’t hessite to ask.

  • Absolutely not! But glad you asked.

    From our very first phone call you will see what makes this different.

    It is truly an experience meant to celebrate you, what you are most proud of, your strength, your softness and what makes you…you.  All that translated into beautiful photographs meant to remind you everyday.

    Any decent photographer and most user of a cell phone camera can take a ‘pretty picture’. We promise you this is something more.

    The Empowered Portrait Experience is your permission slip to take center stage.  

    Are you ready? (we thought you meant be since you are here)
