Worth the trip

Familiesfly hereon purpose.

When the title matters, the image can't be left to a local studio that shoots pageants once a year. Here's why contestants travel to Georgetown, Kentucky for their headshots.

01

One specialty

We don't shoot weddings between pageants. Competition headshots are the entire studio. The lighting, the styling, and the retouching standard are all built for the judges' table.

02

An easy trip

We're about 30 minutes from Lexington's Blue Grass Airport and a short drive from Cincinnati. Most families fly in, shoot, select images the same day, and fly home.

03

A proven record

200+ photo wins a year across national systems. When you make the trip, you are coming to a track record, not a maybe.

Flying in?

Make it theEditorial Session.

Don't cross the country for a single headshot. The Editorial Session is a full, fully styled day. You bring nothing, we handle everything.

4

Styled looks

Hair, makeup, and wardrobe are all handled, with two hair changes across the day.

8

Competition Finishes

Eight final, competition-grade images. A portfolio, not a headshot.
