*A Note from Kara Marie*
Understanding that these shoots are both a scheduling and financial commitment, while still wanting to offer as many people as possible the impact of a feel-good photo shoot experience, it was important to me to be able to offer a stateside alternative for you.
In the two years leading up to my departure from Austin, Texas, I professionally trained my studio manager and wing-woman Joeli Middlebrooks as my protégé. A budding artist and creative professional in her own right, Joeli now has a large number of KMS-style photo shoots and happy customers under her belt.
While she has her own shoot style entirely, she is well-trained on providing my discerning photo shoot experience including posing direction, lighting and editing techniques, while delivering a beautiful set of finished images to her very satisfied clients.
While Joeli is also a personal branding photographer with Kara Marie Collective - offering a more buttoned-up type of business branding experience, we’ve curated an offering of KMS-structured beauty and boudoir portrait packages that offer the same high quality products and experience that my have all received in the past, at a price point that is proportionate to her protégé’s experience level.
Have a browse through Joeli’s riveting work here, and shoot us an e-mail at hello@karamariecollective.com should you decide you’d like to get on the schedule for a beauty or boudoir shoot with Joeli, in one of several pop-up studio locations in Austin, Texas.
