Found Pose Palace on TikTok and decided to check it out for a family photoshoot with our…read morenewborn--and I'm so glad we did! We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

Recently my US passport needed to be renewed so this photo studio was one of the few places that…read morestill open on Sundays after 4 PM. The photo studio is located inside AR Galleria (the main galleria entrance was locked on Sunday afternoon so I had to enter through the side door via Cafe Lowell). [Parking]: Easy and free parking in the large plaza. [Reservation]: I was able to call and book a same-day reservation on Sunday. Visitors can also make an online reservation via the studio's website. Upon arrival, I scanned a QR code and signed a waiver before the owner started my 5-minute photo session. [Price]: $27 for 4 physical copies and digital copies to download via email (must be downloaded within 7 days). I did not initially receive an email, but I emailed the owner the next day about the download link and he sent a follow-up email with the link within a few hours (the email was hidden in my spam folder). The email included all the pictures taken during the session. The shop also makes photo keychains ($4+ each). The studio also offers 15-minute and 30-minute self-portrait sessions. [Studio]: While I was here for a passport photo, the studio mainly operates as a self-portrait studio where customers take photos of themselves. This small studio has all the props and camera setup needed to make it happen. [Process]: The owner had me sit on a chair and took 7 pictures. Out of the 7 pictures taken, I was able to choose one for him to print while the rest of pictures can be downloaded via a link in an email. It was more important to receive a digital copy because the US passport renewal process requires applicants to upload a digital photo rather than submit a physical copy. I was able to use one of the digital copies and now that same picture will be on my passport for the next 10 years before the next renewal timeline. [Conclusion]: Overall it was an efficient process and I was able to walk in and out within 15 minutes. However, it would be helpful for the studio to provide additional entry instructions on the website when the main galleria entrance is locked.

Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

They also have different photo booths you can use inside, and you can even turn your favorite photos into adorable keychains. Such a cute keepsake!

There are plenty of TikTok videos demonstrating directions though. It does get quite busy throughout the holiday season, so I would anticipate a wait if you are interested in coming then. As of July 2026, they had 2 classic backdrop rooms (1 pink and 1 blue), 1 with a star-designed backdrop which produced a transparent film, and 2 vintage booths in one room. The classic backdrop rooms is super spacious, so it is great for large parties. The 2 vintage booths were similar to those of 'Booth by Bryant,' but the lighting is so much better and you are able to see yourself as you are taking the photos. The classic backdrop cost $5/ 2 strips whereas the vintage photo booths cost $6/ 2 strips. You also have the option of paying an additional $15 to make an XL strip and this is one of many customization options.

I booked this photoshoot with Bloomin Studio on a bit of a whim for my birthday after going through…read morea really rough year... and I didn't expect it to impact me the way it did. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of in a way that's honestly rare. When they say all-inclusive, they mean it. I didn't have to stress about a single detail. They had the dress, the jewelry, the shoes, even the smallest accessories all ready for me, and everything fit perfectly. It felt like stepping into a space where I could just exist and be taken care of. Novia (the owner and photographer) is so incredibly patient and talented. She guided me through everything. From helping me choose an aesthetic during the consultation to gently directing me through poses in a way that made me feel confident instead of awkward (which is HUGE for me). Even though I booked just 2 days before, she never made me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. Ceci did my hair and makeup and made me feel so beautiful. The makeup was high quality and lasted all day, and it still felt like me in a softer, more elevated version. Amanda was also so sweet and attentive the entire time. The energy of the whole team is just so warm, kind, and genuine. But what really stayed with me was how they made me feel. They didn't just take photos. They created a space where I could reconnect with myself. I felt feminine, confident, and honestly a little emotional seeing myself that way again. It felt like a reset. Like I was being reminded of a version of myself I hadn't seen in a while. And then on top of all that, they gave me a birthday gift, which completely caught me off guard and meant so much to me. It turned an already special experience into something I'll never forget. The studio itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed (there's even a snack corner which is such a cute touch). Booking was easy, parking was easy, everything about the experience felt smooth and intentional. If you're hesitating because you're not "photogenic," or you're waiting for the "right time", this is your sign to just do it. I would 1000% come back, and I'm already thinking about their membership. This wasn't just a photoshoot. It was healing in a way I didn't expect. Thank you Bloomin!

Add the awkwardness of being in front of a camera I'm not controlling in selfie mode. Enter the ladies of Bloomin studio! A TRULY ALL INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE- makeup, hair, wardrobe, set design, modeling coach! I've never found anything like it! My experience was nothing short of wonderful and most importantly COMFORTABLE. I got a K-style headshot similar to k-pop idol photo cards and a professional headshot because I hadn't taken a proper headshot (at least ones I liked) in at least 3-4 years! I opted to have my hair and makeup done so I could just show up stress free. Ceci wasn't just on time, she was early for my glam. I filled out a mini color analysis and vibe quiz to narrow down the vision. I also wanted to try something very girly and soft which is honestly polar opposite of my usual. I just wanted to try something different for my "fun" headshot. Ceci took her time with hair and makeup, was very detailed, and when I TELL YOU THE FOUNDATION MATCH WAS IMPECCABLE! The base was flawless and every imperfection was concealed. I looked like a filter. She also picked out 3 tops for me to choose from, yes wardrobe styling was included too! I'm an Asian midsize girl, so..fat by Asian standards and I brought tops from home worried I wouldn't fit into anything they had. I was wrong. They absolutely had clothes that fit me as a US large. God bless them! That made me feel so much less insecure. Novia my photographer took care of the set, lighting, and posing which made things so much easier. No guessing what to do. She gave clear instructions on where to look, how to pose, the softness of the expression, I didn't have to overthink a damn thing. They touch up my hair and moved it around as needed. She was very patient with me because I was still a little stiff and tense at the start and really loosened up my expressions and posing towards the second half. I didn't know what to choose for my professional head shot so I let Novia decide. Man she knows what really makes you shine! I really thought I was a warm toned Autumn palette girly but when I saw myself in a cool toned photo, I was wowed! Grey and black, never would've picked that for myself. Even the pink themed girly shoot utilized a cool toned pink and the makeup used neutral-cool tones and I was surprised at how it came out! I definitely took some of those tips home with me and changed a couple of my makeup and outfit choices! No doubt I'll be back. I wanna do a birthday shoot and redo my wedding photos next! Their more elaborate themed shoots are next on my list! They have a membership that is so insanely well priced for what it includes, if you're a content creator needing photos from fantasy to editorial they got you! Some packages even include BTS footage for your vlog!! I can't recommend Bloomin Studio enough! Thank you ladies for making me feel beautiful.
