More than a photoshoot

An experience from hello to reveal.

Most women tell us the same thing afterward: "I had no idea it would feel like this." Here's how the day unfolds.

In their words

Women leave different than they arrived.

"It was very comfortable and easy to work with the Nicolas during the shoot. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm, which helped me feel confident in front of the camera. Nicolas guided me with posing, was very supportive, and created a pleasant vibe throughout the session. I was left with only positive impressions and beautiful photos."

"He is very respectful, kind, asks for your consent before posting pictures and has the best skills I've ever seen, my pictures always come out good! I definitely recommend."

"Nickolaus is absolutely wonderful! He made the whole experience so comfortable and empowering. From the very start, Nickolaus was kind and communicative. He asked questions, offered guidance, and listened to my goals; he cared about getting to know me so that I felt good from start to finish. And the photos are stunning and totally me! This was not something I ever really thought about doing but I am so glad I did and I'm so grateful to Nickolaus for giving me the space to see myself through such an incredible lens."

Good questions

Asked before every session

I'm not photogenic and I've never done anything like this.

Almost every woman we photograph says this — and it's exactly why the session is fully guided. You'll be coached through every pose, angle, and expression. No experience required, and nervousness usually lasts about five minutes.

What should I wear?

That's what the free style consultation is for. We'll plan your looks together based on the style you choose, and you'll also have access to our client wardrobe and accessories at the studio.

How much does it cost?

Sessions begin at $500 and include professional hair & makeup, your styled and guided session, and a private reveal. Portrait collections vary based on what you'd like to take home — everything is explained transparently before you book.

Where is the studio?

Our private studio is in Chicago's West Loop, easily reachable from anywhere in the city and suburbs. You'll receive full details when you book your consultation.

Is this only for a certain age or body type?

No. We photograph women of every age, size, and background — that's the whole point. The experience is designed around you, not the other way around.
