A first of a kind photoshoot in Los Angeles that focuses on who you want to become, instead of what you want to look like. Give yourself the gift of connecting with every part of yourself you wish to celebrate or discover.

 
It's time to break free from the reflection that no longer serves you. Embrace the version of you that resonates with your core, waiting to be loved and celebrated. At DASU Studios, we see the masterpiece within, ready to emerge and redefine your self-image.

You feel stuck with the person you see in your mirror and photos - a version of you that you aren't in love with.

The way you speak about yourself builds up resentment. It demotivates, belittles and devalues the abundant person you really are. You know you don't like it, but you don't know how to change.

You tell yourself that you aren't enough and the thought of taking up space scares you.

You're not sure whether it's the lack of a supportive environment or the outside influence from societal norms that lead you to minimize yourself. The thought of putting yourself first and making sure you are taken care of worries you even though you feel the repercussions. 

"No, that's not me" is something you often say. You feel like your current perception of yourself is boxing you in.

Something's making you feel disconnected.

Common Questions We Get From Our Clients Looking To Book

To get started, please review our pricing and book a complimentary discovery call with us HERE.  Since each session is bespoke to the individual client and we have limited availability each month, we want to ensure we're a good fit before committing to working together.

Our Classic Portrait Experience starts at $4,850, which includes a 2-hour fully guided photoshoot and 6 images at 2000x3000 pixels resolution, among other things. Additional digital images and products may be purchased during your Reveal Session.  

Our Classic Portrait Session is thoughtfully designed to last roughly 6 hours in our beautiful studio.  This includes personalized hair and make-up (1.5 hours), 2-hour bespoke photoshoot, a nourishing lunch break, followed by a Reveal Session where you get to see and choose the images and products you’d like to purchase. 

There is no prerequisite in working with us. We are trained to guide you through every movement and pose. It is of utmost importance to us and our client experience that we help you feel the person you want to connect with. Only then, do we get to help you see those versions of you. All this to say that body language, guidance, and connection are all very important to us at DASU Studios.

DASU Studios fully embraces the multifaceted complexity of each individual. Our portrait experience, rooted in mindfulness and intentionality, is dedicated to uncovering and honoring our clients' unique essences. From the moment you engage with us, you’ll gain access to our thoughtfully crafted pre-portrait prep stages. These include reflections, intentions, moodboarding, and visualization boards, all designed to guide you through the process of self-discovery and self-exploration. Join us on this intimate journey to explore and elevate your essence, celebrating the unique work of art that is you. 

Our Classic Portrait Experience includes $3,000 in product credit, which translates to 4 edited digital images. Additional images and products may be purchased separately during your same-day Reveal Session, where you hand pick your favorite portraits and decide on the perfect way to enjoy them — as a framed wall art or a magazine book. Our clients typically spend upwards of $8,500 with us, purchasing 12 digital images to be enjoyed in our in-house designed magazine book custom made in Japan.

 Jen

Jen is a Korean-American mom of 2 and a content creator in the beauty realm. Jen was no stranger to being in photoshoots and seeing images of herself, but even then she felt like she has yet to see a full version of herself. Being in the beauty industry, she's had to withstand the pressure of showing up "perfect" in every scenario and she wanted to break free to express a more raw and vulnerable side of her. This conversation with David led to finding two other sides of her she wanted to explore and celebrate: her cultural and sensual side. 

meet jen

Lastly, having grown up with conservative values in Kansas, Jen felt like she always had to present proper. Her sensual side was always hidden away because of her fear of judgement. Now she wants to be able to express that side of her.

sensual

As a mom of 2 and as someone who grew up being taught that crying is bad, Jen wanted to connect with her vulnerable side more. To not only tell her inner-child that it's okay to be sad, but also set the right example for her two kids.

vulnerable

Jen wanted to connect with her Korean culture in a way where she could be unapologetically Korean loud and proud in a modern way. We talked what it means to be Korean-American that empowers her.

 Jilene

Jilene is a cheerful soul with a passion for her career as a creative tech designer. She came to us as she was turning 40 and engaging in a new season of self-love.

"I haven’t always made time to celebrate the woman I am and the woman I am becoming. As a woman who is in a caregiving capacity and who gives a lot of herself sacrificially, it is crucial to seize opportunities for self-expression and to celebrate and acknowledge all the self-development work and obstacles overcome. I am welcoming a new chapter with excitement, where I prioritize myself first, enabling me to be my best self for others."
