Tranquility’s professionally trained estheticians place a Revitalight LED pulsator upon facial terrains, photostimulating stagnant skin cells.

Different light settings can repair a variety of skin woes, with a red light aimed at anti-aging and healing, a blue set to target acne, and a strobe light for pores that just want to party. While a single Revitalight treatment fosters noticeably healthier looking skin, usually six treatments, spaced a week or so apart, achieve optimal results.

Subjects should finesse their hairstyle and camera pout prior to the shoot and bring outfits from home. After the session wraps up, subjects meet Harber a second time to collect one or two 8″x10″ prints of choice as well as one retouched digital image. Vintage Girl Studios After capturing the photography bug at the historic Ferranti-Dege, Krzystyna Harber honed her skills and founded Vintage Girl Studios.

Each private photo shoot, whether vintage-themed or boudoir, takes place in an intimate, sunlit studio with hardwood flooring. Professional makeup artists and hairstylists spruce up pouts and coifs, helping women feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera’s winking eye.
