Oh my goodness, reading this Substack is like looking back to my soul. I am older (almost 42) but have the most fond memories of my one time Glamour Shots moment. Back in 1996, they had those “giveaway” where you write down your contact information for a free shoot when in reality it was just a marketing thing cuz you had to still pay for additional photos 🤣
Then in 2023 a local photographer hosted what he called a Glorious Shots at our local mall! He worked with local vendors to source vintage 80s/90s/early 2000s outfits, a hair and makeup artist to do our hair from our favorite era , and took our Glamour Shots! I had the best time ever and wished we had this service permanently!!!
Ok wait I think I remember those giveaways now that you mention it haha! And oh man I am so glad a photographer did their own version- that’s amazing!! 🙌 So there must be a market for this then 😂
I BEGGED my mom for a Glamour Shots session! She finally gave in and it was my 14th birthday present when I was a freshman in high school in 1997 - braces and all! I still have the pictures and remember that day so clearly. It was the best!
