empowerment photography for every body.

with or without makeup.

with or without clothing.

 

this is a space for you to feel celebrated and beautiful.

If you look in the mirror and see all the ways you’re not enough, we know how that feels. you’re in the right place.

Let’s get a few things straight about empowerment photography…

-It is for every person. No matter where you’re at in life, no matter your age, no matter your pant size or latest milestone.

-You do not have to be confident before a photo session. You don’t need to lose 20 pounds. You don’t need an excuse to get dressed up (or strip down).

-You don’t need to change who you are to be beautiful.

-You don’t need to know what to do with your hands. Are you an awkward human? So are we. We’ll get along great.

-You deserve to invest in yourself. If you’re like most of the people who come to our studio, you are known for taking care of everyone else first.

Spend a day with us. Be photographed. Leave feeling transformed. Quiet your inner critic.

 

TESTIMONIALS

REAL, BEAUTIFUL HUMANS AND THEIR EXPERIENCE

the amy paine photo experience

 
  • Whether you text me, call me, fill out the contact form, or send an email… I will be in touch within a few business hours to schedule a 15-minute phone call. On this call, I walk you through the experience, answer all of your questions, and get you booked with the $99-500 retainer fee.

    If you’re someone who hates talking on the phone or can never seem to find a quiet moment for one, you can skip the phone call. Please read through our entire FAQ. Book your session right away here if you have no further questions.

    Sessions occur on M, W, and F at our studio, located in Seattle near the Space Needle and Climate Pledge Arena.

  • After selecting your session date, you’ll get an email to set up a zoom or FaceTime chat with me to discuss wardrobe and go over the package options. We will set up your payment plan that day, if you’re like most clients who take advantage of monthly budgeting.

    Don’t skip this consultation and do it early on in the process! You can set up as many consultations as you need in order to feel prepared.

  • Most clients take advantage of a pre-session payment plan. It relieves stress the day of because you know what your goal is when designing your album. You also receive complimentary bonuses valued $99-400 for pre-paying a collection. Examples include headshots, 3 polaroid prints to take home the same day, adding the wet/ripped tank set, or upgrading to add the acrylic cover to your album.

    Payment plans are at your own pace—whether automatic withdrawal or through email reminders to pay on your own.

    You are not locked in to a collection by pre-paying for it. You can upgrade to a larger collection or use your credit to select items off the a la carte menu.

  • Once you arrive at the studio, I’ll show you to the dressing room so you can set your things down. You can use the restroom and then we’ll look at what wardrobe items you brought from home.

    You’ll receive 1-1.5 hours of hair and makeup styling at our studio with mimosa in hand (or another drink of choice—we’ll ask you before hand what you want to sip on!) You do not have to find your own makeup artist or do it yourself, we provide that service for you to help keep things simple and stress-free.

    A photo session is normally 1.5-2 hours long with 3-5 outfits, including the white sheet set. If you selected the bonus option of the wet/ripped tank top, we’ll end with that!

    I will pose you from head to toe and coach you through facial expression, so don’t worry about looking as awkward as you feel. There will likely be a lot of laughter, even though I don’t have jokes I do have a cute laugh that is contagious!

  • We break for lunch for about 45 minutes while I whittle down your images to the best 50ish. There are a few great restaurants near the studio and we’ll send you off to eat there, or you can order takeout and eat in our studio kitchen and chat with me.

    After lunch, we will look through your image gallery together, selecting your favorites along the way, and then design your album. Designing your album helps solidify your collection choice.

    We’ll finalize your order and send you on your way— with you feeling more confident and comfortable in your body than you arrived that morning. Yay!

  • Digital files are sent via an online gallery within a week of your session.

    4-6 weeks after your session, your album and wall art will be shipped to the studio ready for pickup. Pickup normally happens at 5pm M, W, F.

    You can also have your products shipped directly to you, but we do love to watch your face light up when you see your images in print for the first time. Also, delivering to the studio prevents theft, and I am able to inspect the products and reorder if they come damaged.

    We recommend booking your session 6-8 weeks before you need any printed products.

 

I’m Amy Paine and I believe…

  1. confidence comes from courage and making small moves every day

  2. there is no better snack than a bowl of popcorn

  3. it is a privilege for anyone who gets to see your boudoir images

  4. clothes are meant to fit our bodies, not the other way around

  5. you are good enough. right now. exactly as you are.

  6. “sexy” doesn’t look the same for everyone

  7. it’s okay to splurge a little, especially if it’s for an experience that you’ll remember forever

  8. we need to see more stretch marks, wrinkles, fat rolls, and pores in the media
