AN EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR

kansas city WOMEN

She Is Campaign

SHE IS: BEAUTIFUL, BOLD, ELEGANT, FIERCE, SEXY, STRONG.

Now is your time to shine, to celebrate all of you. It is your time to be pampered, to tell your story, to show the world that Midwest style, your unique beauty.

You are worthy of beautiful images. You are enough and you deserve the hair and the makeup, the lights, and recognition.

what's this all about?

The "She Is" Movement

This is your moment. What started as a local project to feature around forty women has grown to include hundreds of women, multiple cities across the Midwest, red carpet screenings, a magazine, and a documentary series celebrating women at every age.

And now, Cory Powell Photography is bringing the movement to the KCMO!

I want to empower each and every one of you to embrace who you are and show off your personal style with your very own photoshoot. Whether we go full glam with hair, makeup, and an evening gown, or simple and chic with a shoot on your boat in boots and a blazer, this is all about what makes YOU unique.

These are images worthy of Vogue Magazine - worthy of YOU and all of the things that you are, all the roles that you play. This is an opportunity to see yourself through my lens, a true expression of how amazing and beautiful you are, and I cannot wait to photograph you in this way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

I need my images by XX date. When should I book my photoshoot?

My studio has a very quick turnaround time that is weeks to months quicker on average than my peers. Once your order is paid for, your order is typically delivered within 2 weeks.

A good rule of thumb is you should book your photoshoot at least 1.5 - 2 months before you need your images. This will give us enough time to plan your photoshoot, do the photoshoot itself, and then fulfill your order.

Do you provide outfits or help me figure out what to wear?

Yes and no... I do not provide any lingerie due to sanitary reasons. BUT I do have some pieces at the studio you're welcome to use. These are pieces that go OVER any lingerie or underwear you bring. The studio wardrobe has basic items like button down shirts and robes as well as specialty pieces like the angel wings, tulle robes, fur coats, etc.

I will guide you through what to wear, how to find outfits, and what you can use that you may already own for your session, so you have nothing to worry about there :)

I've never done a photoshoot before and I don't know how to pose. Will you help me?

Yes of course! My job as your photographer is to guide you through the whole experience. Like 95% of my clients have never had a proper photoshoot before (or if they have, it's been since the days of Glamour Shots)!

I will show you how to move your body and pose you down to the pinky. No worries about "what do I do with my hands" or "I'm worried about having a double chin" or not having photos turn out because you didn't bring a list of poses.

I've been a photographer for over half of my life now and know how to pose ALL body types and modify poses based on your range of mobility and goals.

Do you offer professional hair & makeup styling?

Yes, if you are booking at our Springfield, MO studio, hair and makeup styling is included with your session! I have vetted all of my stylists so they can work with all skin types, ages, etc. And yes, this includes being able to work with natural hair.

If booking in another city (because I do travel!) we will do our best to coordinate hair and makeup styling or get you a referral for a stylist.

Can I bring someone with me to the session?

Yes of course! As long as the person you are bringing is a nice, supportive person. In fact, most of my clients bring a friend to share the day with. You don't have to be photographed together necessarily, but could do back to back sessions with maybe a few images taken together in between.

I always say: a day shared is often more fun and even more special.

What kinds of products do you offer and how much should I expect to spend?

Pricing is listed out on this page in the "The "She Is" Experience Includes" section. I offer a variety of custom and heirloom products. The most popular items are digital files, wall art, and albums. Most of our clients purchase a custom album.

You only buy what you love. Interest-free layaway plans or financing available.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes I do! We offer your choice of financing through Affirm or PayPal Credit or an in-house layaway plan with no interest. Layaway means you can pay off your order over time, and when your payment is finalized you will receive your products.
