Warm Welcome and Studio Tour
When you arrive at Longroad Studio, you’ll be greeted by your photographer and shown around the space. Our studio is designed to feel both professional and comfortable—like a creative retreat where you can relax and feel at ease.
We’ll begin with a relaxed conversation to talk about your session goals, review the outfits you’ve brought, and plan the order of wardrobe changes. This is also a great time to go over any ideas you’ve had or special inspiration you want to bring into your empowerment portraits.
Starting with Your Professional Business Headshot
Every empowerment portrait session begins with a professional business headshot. This 15-minute mini-session is the perfect warm-up. You’ll be guided through clean, flattering poses that highlight your confidence and professionalism.
We’ll review your images immediately after, and you’ll select your favorite headshot on the spot. Once you’ve made your selection, we’ll talk briefly about professional retouching, so you know exactly what to expect from your final image—polished, authentic, and natural.
This headshot can be used for your LinkedIn profile, professional website, or any other platform where you want to put your best face forward.
The Empowerment Portrait Experience
After your headshot session, we transition into the heart of your visit: your empowerment portrait session.
This part of the session includes:
- Two wardrobe changes (based on our earlier discussion)
- Creative use of simple props such as chairs, fabrics, or accessories
- Fully guided posing, movement prompts, and coaching throughout
- Time for you to express different moods—playful, bold, serene, or strong
Your empowerment portraits are all about self-expression. Whether you’re wearing a structured blazer, a flowy dress, or an edgier outfit with leather or bold color, we’ll capture images that reflect your authentic, empowered self.
You don’t need to know how to pose—we’ll coach you through every shot to help you look and feel amazing.

Every part of your empowerment experience is personalized. At Longroad Studio, we know that no two women are the same. Our portrait sessions are crafted to reflect your unique story, energy, and style.
You’ll leave the session not only with a stunning collection of images but also with a renewed sense of confidence and self-worth.
