You want your visual library of images to be based on actual researched data so you are guaranteed it will attract (and convert) your ideal client.

You want a shoot that speaks to who you are as a brand, who your ideal client is, and represents your offer in the most stop-you-in-your-tracks, eye-catching way. 
 
You have some ideas about what you want this shoot to be, but you want an expert to help you develop it into something that is professional, current, on-trend without being 'trendy'.

Don't overthink it. 


You're more ready than you think 

we only book 3 custom shoots per quarter

The bad news 

Our custom shoots always include research, planning, full creative direction, a full day-shoot, and editing. This time-intensive process requires we take only a limited number of clients.


Sessions take place either on-location or at the gorgeous Studio Soma, a 1,500 sq ft modern organic space with limewashed walls, aesthetic furniture, and floor to ceiling 14ft windows. 
Studio Soma is located on the west side of madison at
 6801 university Ave 110, Middleton WI 53562

the STUDIO & ARTIST

All sessions are directed by Lexia Frank, founder of Studio Soma. With over 17 years of photographing portraits, her favorite thing is helping her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera by guiding them into the best angles and lines to help them feel- and look- like the best version of themselves. 

"Working with Lexia is a dream! Her upbeat and radiant attitude fills and lifts the entire environment she inhabits and you can't help but feel like "Today is going to be the best day ever!" because she is there. Her photography is beautiful, heartfelt and consistently artistic, pushing common boundaries without losing relatability."

— Katie davis, ponderosa and thyme

08

Receive your imagery in as little as a week after production, and implement them into your brand to watch it grow and connect with your audience! Final payment is due upon delivery of final assets.

(this one is for me) Watch and cheer you on with tears in my eyes, seeing your vision beautifully represented online, and telling everyone I know (and their brother) about you, wishing we could do it all over again. 

09

Your potential clients have strong visual acuity... they know how to spot what they are looking for just by the look of your brand photography.  

We know the science behind what triggers trust, relatability, emotion, and connection, and we imbue it in our work.

Ever say to someone: 

"I dont know exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when I see it" 

A lifestyle photoshoot that uses storytelling allows your client to imagine themselves within your offering, creating emotional connection,  a lasting impression, and desire.

We don't change your brand.

we change how your ideal client perceives you

day rates start at 3,500.00

license and usage fees vary based on shoot

production costs vary based on shoot

return on investment = priceless

Investment

Every shoot is different based on scale, hours, set design, crew needs- and you are in full control of your budget. 

The return on your investment from brand recognition, growth, trust, client acquisition, and demand.... well thats priceless.
