Experience a Model Call at My Gardnerville Studio – Real Women. Real Stories. Real Confidence.

Have you ever dreamed of experiencing a luxury boudoir photoshoot, an empowerment experience, a maternity or couples adventure session, or a family portrait session—but felt nervous about booking? You’re not alone! That’s exactly why I offer Model Calls at Sage River Photography—a chance to experience my boutique-style photography with no session fee, in exchange for permission to share your images.

This is your opportunity to step in front of the camera, feel empowered, and maybe even surprise yourself with how beautiful and confident you look. Whether it’s a solo boudoir session, a glowing maternity shoot, or an epic family adventure session—Model Calls are open to real people, just like you.

What Is a Model Call?

A Model Call is a free session opportunity I offer to help create and showcase fresh new content for my website, marketing, blog, private Facebook groups, and more. In return for waiving the session fee, I ask for permission to use your images across these platforms.

But don’t let the word “model” intimidate you—this is NOT about looking a certain way or having experience. It’s about celebrating real people through authentic, empowering photography that tells your story.

Why I Offer Model Calls

To inspire others – Seeing real people in my portfolio helps future clients picture themselves in front of the camera.

To empower YOU – So many clients say a session was one of the most confidence-boosting things they’ve ever done.

To create new art – Every model call gives me a chance to experiment with new themes, lighting, sets, or backdrops.

To give you a taste of the luxury experience – A model call is a low-risk way to try something you’ve always wanted to do.
