Why Join Wicked Wise Women?

Because women carry stories that shape families, communities, and culture—and those stories deserve to be seen and heard.

Because wisdom isn’t about age—it’s about experience, insight, and the courage to grow.

Because you’ve spent years showing up for others—and now it’s time to show up for yourself.

Because beauty isn’t defined by trends—it’s defined by authenticity, confidence, and how you choose to express it.

Because you deserve to be pampered this way!

Whether you’re bold, quiet, fierce, nurturing,

rebellious, or radiant—you belong here.

This is your chance to indulge in a glam or boudoir session, try out reiki and a tarot reading, be featured in a magazine that celebrates women’s wisdom, and be honored at a fancy gala.

All while supporting The Hope and Justice Project, a nonprofit helping women rebuild their lives.

As part of our fundraising efforts:

• Participants are invited to bring a physical donation from the Hope and Justice Project’s wish list to their photo session. (See list below.)

• We will hold a silent auction and other fundraising activities at the Gala Celebration.

Together, we’re creating beauty, connection, and meaningful change.

One portrait, one story, one act of courage and generosity at a time.

Limited Spots Available

This is a paid experience with limited availability.

Photo sessions will be booked throughout the year.

Four hundred and twenty-five dollars (and a small, physical donation) grants you access to the full Wicked Wise Women portrait experience—designed to make you feel seen, celebrated, and radiant.

Your portrait session includes professional hair and makeup, a personalized wardrobe consultation and styling session, access to the curated client closet, expert lighting and pose direction, and one professionally retouched, printed portrait of your choice.

Also included are a half hour reiki energy healing session with a Reiki Master Teacher, and a 3 card tarot reading designed for empowerment with an Astrologist & Psychic.
