Celebrating Fur Babies All Around Arizona

Mesa Portrait Studio

People call it the Kardashian Experience for a good reason...

Okay, I don’t personally know the K sisters, but the moment you walk in the door, you’re treated like a celebrity. From steaming your clothes to making sure we’re stocked with your favorite snacks–we even have a Beyoncé-hair fan! There’s a no-stress policy here, and we make sure you’re following it.

Behind

The Scenes

01

Designing & Styling

We'll dive into all the nitty-gritty–from picking outfits, researching, and getting to know your needs. We'll look at colors, and textures and design your dream photo shoot–every session we plan is about making you feel confident in every photo.

02

Glamorous Makeover

On the day of your session, we'll steam your clothes and you'll go right onto the makeover chair. We'll go over our plan while you get pampered and maybe drink a little wine (if you're up for it). Just relax, and we'll take care of the rest.

03

The Photoshoot Begins

This is the magic moment! We turn up the music, and you'll get into your outfits! We'll pose you in your best angles and make sure you’re having a damn good time. Our different lighting, expressions, and looks help to create unique photos tailored to you and your vision.

04

View Your Photos & Order

Once your session is done, we'll view your images that day. I'm known for making women tear up at their reveal. I'll help you decide on your final images and design artwork for your home. Once we finalize your order, we start our retouching magic!

Your Session

Includes...

Design & Styling Consultation

We’ll deep dive into your likes, dislikes, and inspirations to customize your session exactly to your vision.

Mood Board & Planning

You’ll see your vision come to life at your session through our mood board.

Glamorous 4 hour Photoshoot

Plan to be at the studio for about 4-5 hours total.

A Glass of Wine or Champagne

To ease your nerves. If you feel like it, of course.

Access to Client wardrobe

You’ll get a chance to play with our client closet pieces that range from glamour to casual.

Professional hair & makeup artistry

So you don’t have to stress over your makeup, hair, or how you look.

Guided posing to help you pose like a model

We pose you from head, to face expressions, and toes, and always at your best angles.

My Signature Magazine Retouching for every photo

This is my signature retouching, which takes your image from wow to magazine cover!

A private ordering session

After your session, we’ll sit together, view your images that day, and decide exactly what you’d love to take home.

And a freakin' damn good time!

A creative retainer fee of $600 is collected to reserve a date on the calendar.

Images are sold separately from that fee and are ordered immediately after your session. Clients spend from $400 to $6k or more. What you spend is up to you and what you fall in love with— we offer payment plans to fit all budgets.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No one is born photogenic. I will guide you into poses that will show off your best angles. With our professional makeover, good lighting, good posing, and a good outfit I can make anyone “Photogenic”. Plus if there’s any extra you want to remove, we can do that with our magazine retouching.

Magazine retouching is our magic touch to transform your photos into stunning, magazine-quality images. It’s a professional editing process where we smooth out skin, adjust colors for vibrancy, enhance your best features, and refine the background. This technique brings out the best in your pictures, ensuring you look as fabulous in photos as you do in person. It’s all about making you shine while keeping everything looking natural and true to you!
We’ve got you covered with our interest-free payment plans, stretching up to a 12 months before your photo shoot. Plus, with this pre-pay package, you get 10% off the total price! We also accept PayPal credit the day of your session. We totally get it if our prices initially give you a bit of a surprise – we’re here to chat and tailor a plan that works for you. Please remember that we do no offer any post-session payment plans. Your products must be paid the day of your photo reveal (prepaid or same-day full payment).

After you choose your final images, you will get your retouched photos back within 15 business days. You will use that gallery link to review your images and let us know if you need any changes. Your printed products will arrive at our studio 8 weeks AFTER you approve your changes or approve for printing. 

Anything that is not chosen at your reveal appointment gets formatted and deleted from our system.

We only allow people who are being photographed to be present. You might be thinking, “Bringing friends along sounds like a blast!” But sometimes, having an audience can make you a tad hesitant to truly let loose. We’re all about creating an environment where you can freely express yourself, laugh, and embrace every moment. Think of this as your exclusive me-time. Our team is super friendly and welcoming. You’ll feel right at home, comfortable, and totally pampered in our studio.

It’s super easy! Contact us and we’ll set up a Zoom chat to see if we are the right fit for your vision. You will book right at the end of the call by paying the retainer to hold a date in our calendar.

We normally book 3-6 months out with the exception of our pre-pay plans that are almost 12 months away. We do have last minute openings sometimes due to client reschedules. Please reach out to us to see what we have available.
We completely understand if you prefer a more natural look and want to do your own styling. Our sessions are carefully curated to provide a full, pampering experience, which includes professional hair and makeup as part of the package. This is to ensure that every client feels absolutely fabulous and gets the best possible results in their photos. While opting out of the makeover doesn’t change the session price, I promise you that our team is skilled in creating a look that’s as natural or as glam as you desire. It’s all about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Beauty Over 40

Celebrating women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond!

I'M ON A JOURNEY TO CELEBRATE AGELESS BEAUTY

My goal is to photograph 40 women in 2024 to show the world that beauty doesn’t stop in your 20s. Each woman will be featured in a magazine we created called Beauty Over 40.

gabby canario phoenix headshots az

I'm Gabby, a Mesa-based, Award-Winning portrait photographer...

and I’m sick and tired of…

  • I'm sick and tired of seeing women over 40 represented as "old" in the media! Have you seen an allergy commercial?
  • Why is it that celebrities are seen as attractive, but normal women over 40 are told they are "too old"? I am ready to change this.
  • I want to show you that you don't have to be a celebrity to be sexy, and wrinkles don't define you!
  • Women are often insecure, even at a young age. I want to show them that they deserve to feel worthy.
  • To show you, and the world, that you are not defined by a number, but rather by the vibrant energy that radiates from within you. You are fierce, fabulous, and unstoppable!

Will you let me transform how you feel about yourself?

Are you in your 40s, 50s or older?
This is for you!

Have you ever lost someone you loved?

My grandmother was like a mother to me. Sadly, she rarely took photos because she “hated” herself in them. She just passed away, and I have 4 photos of her. that’s it. My biggest regret is not taking the time to capture her beauty and force her to do a session with me.

When you die, no one is going to judge the way you look. They will look at your photo and remember the person they loved.  You deserve to be in photographs for you, and for your loved ones. I will not let you make the same mistake my grandma did.

When was the last time you got pampered and took photos of yourself?

When was the last time you felt alive, confident, and empowered?

I want to bring that same spirit back, to show our community that women over 40 can still be just as sexy as they were when they were young. Back then, we were taught to fear getting older, but now I know that age is just a number.
Life is short, but it’s never too late to reclaim your confidence and show the world what you’ve got!
