Photoshoots that are not your Mom's Glam Shots

Hey there! I totally get it – the nerves, the worries, the hesitation about getting your photo taken.

After photographing countlesss women for 13+ years, there are 3 common worries that I hear most often:

​"I’m not photogenic"
"I've never liked photos of myself"
"I always look too big in pictures"

I've been through it too, and that's why I'm here to guide you on a transformative journey that will change the way you see yourself.
Hi, I'm Debbie Smith and I'm known for being the 'Photographer for Women Over 40' in the New River Valley of Virginia.  Not only am I the photographer behind the camera, but I'm your guide to unlocking the confidence and beauty that resides within you.

This is your metamorphosis.

Never liked pictures of yourself before?

If you've never been happy with how you look in photos, chances are it's because you weren't posed correctly for your body type.

​We're gonna fix that.

Whether you're worried about looking too big in the photos or think you're un-photogenic, the posing techniques I'll show you during your photoshoot will completely change how you see yourself!

✅ Poses that help you feel confident...
✅ Poses that help you look slimmer...
✅ Poses that help you look natural and comfortable!

Don't just take it from me, check out our amazing transformations below!

Curious about Boudoir?

What we do is incorporate a sexy outfit at the end of your Glam or Branding Session.  I've found that most women want to do a variety of looks in their photoshoot from casual, to professional, to dressy, to sexy...and they are NOT ready to 'take their clothes off' in their first outfit of the day.

Boudoir takes trust and level of comfort.  Our studio is a safe and private space and our style of Boudoir is classy, soft, feminine, sophisticated, and cozy.

  • You don't have to wear lingerie to do boudoir​
  • You don't have to take your clothes off to look sexy
  • You can do boudoir photos in a little black dress​
