“Most women struggle with expressing who they are.
Our custom portraits make it easy for them to look incredible and feel comfortable in front of a camera so they can tell their story of strength, perseverance, growth, and transformation.”
– J. How
You can take a million photos and still not feel good about yourself.
What you really need is ONE portrait that changes the way you feel about yourself forever!
THIS IS THE THING YOU’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR ALL YOUR LIFE
What makes a Made by Ten life portrait different?
Some women just want pretty pictures of themselves, but there are a few that want more than the superficial.
Made by Ten portraits are for women who are strong, independent, and sometimes even polarizing no matter what shape, size, race, sexuality, age, or gender they are; including trans women. These women want a unique experience that will tell their story in a meaningful way.
Made by Ten portraits are special portraits, for special women.
They want an experience that will empower them to become their best selves by guiding them through their journey of self-discovery and self-expression.
Whether you are a new graduate moving into womanhood; looking for your first job or new job; getting back into dating; starting your own business; newly engaged; planning a wedding; waiting excitedly for the birth of your baby; or even gong through a hurtful separation, these are the moments in your life (good or bad) that need to be told!
We think you are incredibly important and we would love if you would let us to tell your story.

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
Are these excuses holding you back from your dream photoshoot?
There are always thousands of reasons holding us back from the best things in life and they’re usually based on illegitimate fears.
We know that at some point in their lives all women and girls have thought about having their photo taken. Unfortunately, 99% of them don’t follow through because they get scared, don’t know who they should go to, and then eventually just give up and forget about it.
We believe every woman and girl deserves to have the most beautiful portrait taken of them and that’s why we’re here to help!
Here are the top 5 excuses and how to overcome them so you can be the 1% that follows through with their dream:
Excuse 1: Portraits are narcissistic!
Truth: Not at all!
Portraits are only as vain as you are. So if you’re humble then your portraits will be too. Portraits are the most powerful way of seeing yourself from an entirely different viewpoint.
It isn’t wrong for you to want to feel special, understood, and cared for.
Excuse 2: I am not photogenic…and maybe just a little awkward!
Truth: Not many people are, but take a look at our portraits and you won’t believe it!
Sure, the celebrities and models gracing the cover of glossy magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair have it easier, but they are just as skeptical about their looks and even as awkward as you are most of the time (trust us).
We are all uniquely beautiful and that’s what we stand for. Our portraits bring out the best in everyone!
Take a look at any of the women we’ve photographed and you’ll see that their beauty isn’t because of symmetry or size, but because of the pride and confidence they have in discovering who they are. They are fierce…in a zen-like way.
Excuse 3: I don’t have time!
Truth: We waste so much time on things that don’t matter when we should be spending it on the things we do!
All our lives are busy and it’s definitely hard to fit things into our schedules. We get it!
But the funny thing is we can always make time for the things that really matter.
Want to know what’s even funnier? We make even more time for things that relieve pain.
Do you fear never getting the chance to see who you truly are – the best version of your self?
Do you ever fear not living your life to the fullest?
Those pains will keep you up at night with a wet pillowcase!
Excuse 4: This will be really hard!
Truth: We make it easy!
This one is simple to snub out. We make it easy. Don’t worry. We got you!
Excuse 5: I’m not worth it.
Truth: Oh girl…you are!
Well…that’s a somber one. We get it though.
As amazing and strong as you are there are still lots of things you don’t think you deserve.
But we’re here to tell you you’re worth it. Not only are we your biggest cheerleader; we’re also your biggest guide and here to keep you safe.
Taking the leap can be hard, but we believe in you. In this very moment you are enough. We know so whole-heartedly that this will be the most amazing experience of your life – that it will change the very way you perceive yourself – that we’re willing to let you go at any point during the whole process.
Either way…we are always here for you!
