When one woman steps up for herself, she automatically gives permission to other women to do the same.

Check out what real women, like you, experienced during our photoshoots

Natalie - 40's

Before the photoshoot Natalie was worried "That people will see all the flaws I see".

Afterwards she said, "Do something for yourself that allows you to experience self-love and self-worth. To really feel/see yourself and the beauty you possess. We all have flaws and we point them out to ourselves every day. So TODAY… identify all the things you love about yourself, inside and out!"

Teresa - 60's

"I have never felt attractive or pretty or really liked the skin that I am in." she said before her photoshoot.

Afterwards she said: "This experience has given me the confidence to shed that old skin and embrace my 60’s. That means accepting and owning all the lines, wrinkles, gray hairs, and saggy parts!"

Megan - 40's

Megan said before her photoshoot: "I never felt comfortable showing up or being seen, especially in marketing myself, for this seemed indulgent and self-absorbed. I never even considered how pictures of me could become an essential part of my career and life purpose. Me, why would they need to see pictures of me?"

Afterwards she said: "I walked away from my experience feeling truly beautiful and realizing my worth comes not from my physical appearance but my magic captured on camera. Now, I can own and see those parts of me reflected through a camera lens and captured forever in a photo—such a beautiful gift to share with myself, my daughter, and the many other women I might encounter along the self-love journey"

But maybe you're still thinking...
"I don't know how to Pose!?"

You don't need to worry about posing.

You will be posed in confident and slimming poses like you've never been posed before.

Wanna Take a Look Behind the Scenes?

❌ Our studio is not your traditional dark portrait studio with a stool in front of a cheesy backdrop with lights that flash at your face...
❌ This experience is not like cheesy glamour shots from the 80s and 90s or like a traditional sears portrait sitting...
❌ This photographer is not your cousin or uncle that just has a nice camera...

Instead...

✅ Our studio is a beautiful natural light studio that is open, bright, and airy
✅ This experience is Empowering and will help you gain renewed Confidence in yourself and in your body
✅ You will be working with a photographer that is skilled in posing women of all shapes, sizes, and ages, and will guide you every step of the way

Once you've experienced a photoshoot with us, you'll never worry about feeling awkward in photos again!

Let's unlock that version of you that's been hiding under a lifetime of shoulds and obligations to others

Don't just take it from me, hear from women just like you who have overcome feeling stiff and awkward to feeling confident and beautiful in their own skin.

Jennifer turned 50 and wanted to step outside her comfort zone.

You remember Natalie from the Before and Afters above? She encouraged other women to identify something they love about themselves instead of pointing out their flaws.

Candice was tired of feeling like her life was an Outlook Calendar filled with everyone else's agenda's, and wanted this photoshoot to be a kickstart to investing more time in herself.

Melissa was gifted this photoshoot by her husband and daughter for her 50th Birthday. She was REALLY nervous, but she quickly started to feel comfortable and had the most amazing experience.

Teresa did this to celebrate her 60th Birthday. She got so lost in the experience that her anxiety faded away...and now she knows this woman "inside" her and had embrace newfound confidence!

Jeana did this to celebrate her weight loss journey and her 50th Birthday.

If you're past photo experiences have been negative and you felt unphotogenic, you don't have to feel that way anymore...

The transformation that you will see through your own eyes will restore so many lost & wasted years of hiding, avoiding, and hating photos of yourself.

...and that is PRICELESS.
