WHY BE SEEN?
The older we get the less we tend to see ourselves represented in media, yet this is the time women begin to know themselves in the most meaningful ways. There's an irony in that, don't you think?
Let's change the way we are viewed by society and the media by celebrating our beauty, our strength, and our stories through images.
This is your chance to be seen. Celebrate the fact that age doesn't diminish beauty, but enhances it.
THEIR STORIES
Angie
I was nervous about getting my portrait taken because when I look in the mirror I see tired and chubby and sometimes my mom, but not necessarily beauty.
Once they started doing my hair and makeup I relaxed and had fun because I was being taken care of for once. Then posing for the camera added to the fun because I had a feeling that I could conquer the world. I walked away wanting to bottle up the feeling.
I was stunned when I saw the final portrait. I couldn't get over how strong and gorgeous I looked. It was me, but the badass glamorous version that I love. I thought I was the only one who could see the me on the inside.
Adriana
During the session I began to feel empowered. I gained confidence and left feeling a little stronger.
And then I when I saw the image in person, I was surprised. I became so emotional. I went to the ground with tears in my eyes because the woman in the portrait was stunningly beautiful and I don’t think of myself as beautiful, but it was me.
YOUR SESSION
Experience
Consultation, Wardrobe, and Styling
Your experience starts with a personal consultation with us to discuss why and how you'd like to be photographed. We'll discuss your story and talk about wardrobe, hair, and makeup.
For the consultation, we can meet in the studio or if you are more comfortable, we can meet through zoom or over the phone.
Professional Hair and Makeup
Your photo session begins with a professional hair and makeup session. Your make-up artist will ask you about your preferences and treat you like the queen that you are.
