Pageant Headshots

It's Pageant Season at The Studio!

Every year it seems we see more and more local pageant participants who need new headshots for competition. We've been told that "our girls" do well in the Photogenic competition for National American Miss, Dreamgirls, and several other popular pageant circuits. As a matter of fact, at a recent competition, photos by The Studio won 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th places in the Photogenic competition. Sounds like a pretty darn good record to me! Maybe that's why The Studio is one of the pageant world's best kept secrets.

At The Studio, we photograph all ages of pageant contestants, from young children to adults. And, we've been priveledged to be able to watch several of "our girls" change and grow over the years.





After photographing girls and young women for pageants for so long, we have a keen understanding of what the pageant judges are looking for in a competition print. We know how to help you produce a classic pageant headshot...and a more "out of the box" personality shot that will showcase your contestant's uniqueness.



Individual portraits at The Studio usually take about 2 weeks for completion, because most pageant contestants add digital retouching to their order. Sometimes we can get portraits back more quickly for you...but you shouldn't wait until the last minute, if at all possible.

The Session Fee at The Studio is $30. This includes professional hairstyling and makeup prior to the photo session, the session, and viewing the images on our computer immediately after the session. Portrait prices begin at $40, for an 8x10 or smaller. Digital retouching is $50 per pose.

We also provide the High Resolution Image on cd, for those who prefer to "buy the negative" and get large quantities of prints made elsewhere. The High Resolution Image on cd is $175 per image. This price includes digital retouching on the image as well as a color and black and white version of the image, in print-quality resolution and in web-quality resolution. When you own this version of an image, you own the rights to the image, and can reproduce it as you see fit.

We know that serious pageant participants look for any edge they can find to better their chances in competition. The Studio is one of those "edges". Give us a call to see what The Studio can do for you. And check out our promo and headshot gallery online, to see just some of our previous pageant and promotional headshot clients.
