The Retro Glow Up Photo Party

A bold, nostalgic, joy filled photo session
for you & your bestie. (or just you!)

When was the last time you did something wildly fun just BECAUSE?

What is the Retro Glow Up Photo Party?

Think big hair.
80’s denim.
90’s grunge.
Early 2000s pop energy
60’s bell bottoms
70’s disco flower power
Music up loud.
Zero responsibilities for a few hours.

You and your girlfriend come in. We dial you up in whatever your decade of choice inspired hair and makeup. You bring the outfits. We bring the vibe. Then we create images that feel like the best sleepover you ever had, but elevated and done beautifully.

This is not about looking perfect.
This is about feeling electric.

    All the Style

  • Two women stand back-to-back against a plain white background, smiling and posing confidently. One woman has long red hair, wears a bright pink mesh top, ripped denim shorts, black lace leggings, and black Mary Jane shoes. The other woman has blonde hair, wears a pink sweater with a red pattern, a black skirt, and beige high wedge sandals. They are both making a gesture with their hands, pointing upward.

    All the Fun

  • A woman with curly blonde hair wearing a light blue shirt getting her makeup done by a makeup artist with long dark hair, holding a makeup brush and a small mirror, smiling as she applies eyeshadow with bright pink and purple colors.

    Hair and Makeup

  • A woman with curly blonde hair wears a white jacket with pearl details, a pink dress with a gold belt, and colorful socks with white sneakers. She is seen in two poses against a light background, one with eyes closed and arms raised, the other smiling with arms slightly outstretched.

You don’t have to know how to pose.
You don’t have to be ‘photogenic.’

You just have to show up ready to have fun.
