Here are some helpful guides on photoshoot locations in Austin to inspire you as well as wardrobe/styling guidance.
Think about what it is specifically that is making you nervous so you can address it directly. Meditate on why you're doing this session. Choose a purpose that isn’t tethered to yourself or your own personal identity. Choose a purpose that is larger than you. Meditate on that. You are the vessel to achieve that vision. Imagery is only representation, legacy, your story!
Try standing in front of the mirror and making different expressions, postures, and poses with yourself to see what you like, what translates for you, what makes you comfortable. Don’t be afraid to practice! Even professionals (actresses, models, broadcasters, etc.) have to do this. They are only comfortable because they’ve done it 1,000 times and even still, most of them have nerves before the lights go on. They’ve just figured out how to handle them.
Engagement is what we're going for. Saveable, sendable, comment-able, likeable content - in that order. Utilizing all that Instagram has to offer while sharing unique, one of a kind narratives is the key. If the image is compelling it acts as the hook. Compelling stories are what take it further. Riley has a lot to say on all of this and is always available for a consultation. Feel free to set something up a la carte or use your next subscription credits towards a brand storytelling session. Riley wants you to feel confident in posting the content you’ve created together.
A one hour session can allow for 2 looks and additional layers (for example, you could consider evolving a dress or a blouse with a jacket, kimono, or cover up). A two hour session can allow for 4-5 looks. Feel free to bring an array of options. Riley is more than happy to aid you with making decisions on set!
Cancellations and reschedules must be made via email 72 hours + before your session. Unless due to an emergency, should you cancel within 72 hours, your session is no longer valid. Unused sessions do not rollover (this policy is strictly enforced). Riley is a big fan of flexibility and leniency but she has to watch her own schedule too. :) We understand that this offering is an investment. That is why we ask that you pay special attention to scheduling conflicts.
Memberships may not be frozen. To cancel, members are asked to contact Riley directly. 30 days written notice is required to cancel. If you cancel a membership, you will lose your existing rate. If your billing date is less than 30 days from your notice date, you will be charged for one final month. Should you like to return to the program, you will receive early access to availability.

A year after I founded Woke Beauty, my secure side job dissolved. The details were out of my hands. The chapter was closing. On one hand, I was devastated. I lost a large portion of my income that was driving the creativity and luster of living my dream.
How was I going to survive without it? On the other hand, this devastation was the growth. The universe knew I was ready for another large challenge–one that would change everything. I went to a friend’s house to tell her the news and this wild idea I had: Woke Beauty Memberships. I didn’t know how to proceed. I was totally clueless. But I’ll never forget her confident eyes lighting up as she said, “I’m your first member. And I’m telling all of my friends tonight.”
And now, here we are. There are so many things that can go wrong when it comes to creativity and innovation. But I’m convinced that as long as you have one person who will advocate for you...you’ll be just fine. I’m incredibly lucky to have had that person. I’m telling you: it’s everything.
My one intention with this platform is to be that person for you. If you’re reading this, I believe that you and your offering are instrumental to the evolution of our society.
And I’ll never let you forget it.
xx Riley
