ABOUT IMAGE SOCIETY

MEET LOLITA

Hi, I’m Lolita.

I’m the photographer behind Image Society, a Sacramento headshot, branding, and portrait studio where women come to celebrate who they are and maybe even discover a little confidence they didn’t know they had.

For nearly a decade, I’ve photographed entrepreneurs, professionals, pageant contestants, and everyday women celebrating new chapters in their lives. Most people tell me they’re awkward in front of the camera, and honestly, that’s completely normal. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll guide you through the entire session so you can relax, enjoy yourself, and leave with photos you’re genuinely excited about.

I’m especially known for my pageant photography because I don’t just photograph the pageant world. I live it. As the reigning Elite Ms. Petite USA 2026, I’ve spent years competing myself, so I understand what it’s like to be on both sides of the camera. That perspective helps me coach my clients through posing, expression, wardrobe, and confidence in a way that comes from real experience.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing contestants from organizations including Miss Sacramento County, Miss San Joaquin County, Miss Los Angeles County, Bay Area Scholarship Alliance, America’s Virtuous Woman, International STARS, and Global Icon Pageants. Staying actively involved in the pageant community allows me to stay current while creating images that feel modern, authentic, and timeless.

Outside the studio, I’m also an entrepreneur, web project manager, musician, and mentor who genuinely loves helping people grow into the best version of themselves. Whether you’re here for professional headshots, personal branding, pageant portraits, or simply because it’s time to celebrate yourself, my hope is that you leave with more than beautiful photos.

One of my favorite moments is watching someone see an image of themselves and suddenly smile a little bigger. Maybe they stand a little taller. Maybe they see themselves the way their family, friends, or colleagues have all along. Those moments never get old, and they’re the reason I love what I do.

Image Society is also the sister studio to Capture Create Studios, my wedding and family photography brand. Together, they allow me to photograph life’s biggest milestones, from business launches and pageant crowns to weddings, growing families, and everything in between.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.
