Welcome to Takoma Park, Maryland!

Giselle and I bought a beautiful house in LGBT-friendly Takoma Park in 2019, and we absolutely love it! We are just over a mile from restaurants, shopping, and the Takoma Red line Metro stop in downtown Takoma Park. There's plentiful, free street parking near our home.

My photo studio features seamless backgrounds and strobes for a traditional studio look along with the option for an environmental look with the stone floor exposed and white walls, brick walls, or red curtains for a backdrop. For outdoor portraits, we can shoot in my front or back yard or on the back deck as weather permits. For fantasy feminization shoots, we have the option to use the "fantasy area" of the studio equipped with custom-designed furniture. 

Check out my work on my blog and in my portfolio at my website.

Open for In-person and Virtual Appointments 6 Days per Week

COVID-19 Impact as of March 2024: Very few venues still require a mask or a vaccination card such as piercing/tattoo parlors (mask required) and the Crucible (vaccination card required). I do not require that clients wear masks or bring vaccination cards except on outings when other venues require it.

COVID-19 Safety: Beth has been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine as of 12 MAY 2021 (second shot received on 28 APR 2021 and booster on 23 NOV 2021) plus three more boosters. Please let me know in the booking notes if you’d be more comfortable if I wear a mask during your makeover, and I’d be happy to mask up.

Calendar:

I will not be attending Keystone 2024 due to a schedule conflict. 


April 27 @ 7 pm: Spring Soiree at Sam Beckett’s Irish Pub in Shirlington with the DC Trans Ladies Meetup group

  • Beth's Most Popular Services

    Here are my most popular offerings so that you can quickly choose your package. Click on a package to review details. For first-timers, I suggest starting with the 3-hour or 4-hour Total Makeover with Photoshoot so you can check out your femme look in a relaxing environment. :)
    • Makeup Makeover at Beth’s Studio 90 min $160
    • Total Makeover w/ Full Photoshoot--3 hrs $320
    • Total Makeover w/ Extended Photoshoot--4 hrs $400
    • Total Makeover w/ Mini Photoshoot & Outing--5 hrs $500
    • Total Makeover w/ Full Photoshoot & Outing--6 hrs $600
    • Makeup Lesson—3 hours $320
    • Fantasy Feminization—3 hour $440
    • Total Makeovers, Photoshoots, & Outings

      In a Total Makeover, we'll transform you from drab to fab using your wardrobe or mine followed by a photoshoot and outing depending on your package. If you don't have any femme clothes, no problem. My studio wardrobe includes clothes, shoes, wigs, corsets, breast forms, hip and butt pads, jewelry, and purses that we can use for the length of the session. Check out my recommendations for how to get started.
       
      You'll leave with an SD card of your original, unedited images in JPEG and RAW formats. To protect your privacy, I do not keep any copies of your images. You'll need a computer and an SD carder reader to download the images. NEW OPTION as of November 2022: If you do not have a computer and SD card reader, you can choose to have me upload your full-size images to WeTransfer for you to download to your smart device in lieu of receiving an SD card. Images will remain available for download for 3 months. This requires that I download a copy of your images. They will not be used on my website or shared with anyone but you except with a signed model release.

      We will have time after your appointment concludes for you to remove makeup and change back to boy mode if desired. If you'd like to leave dressed in girl mode, please bring your outfit with you as I do not sell any wardrobe items.

      Photography
      Photography is always optional. Please let me know in the booking notes if you'd prefer to work on feminine deportment or just enjoy hanging out in girl mode at my studio instead of taking photos.

      Outings
      -With a five hour session, we will have time for an outing to Takoma Park, Takoma DC, Silver Spring, or College Park. Options include Busboys and Poets in Takoma, Olive Lounge, Roscoe's restaurant, window shopping at Takoma Park boutiques like "Bespoke not Broke," manicures/pedicures at Solar Nails, and DSW in Hyattsville at the Prince George's Mall.
      -With a 6-7 hour session, we have time to hit locations in Northern Virginia such as Tyson's Corner Center, which is the best mall in the area, and Freddie's Beach Bar in Crystal City in Arlington, VA. For shopping for a quality wig, we can book an appointment at Joi Wigs in Springfield, VA followed by shopping or dinner at the Springfield Mall if time allows.
      -With an 8-12 hour session, we will have time for more than one stop on our outing. For example, we could go to Old Town Alexandria for a walk along the riverfront, shopping on King St, and dinner and drinks at Freddie's Beach Bar. Or we could go to Tyson's Corner Center and follow that up with dinner out. We could go to Joi Wigs, Old Town Alexandria, and finish with a quick stop at Freddie's Beach Bar. DC museums like the Spy Museum, Portrait Gallery, or American History Museum can also be great fun. 
      For Civil War buffs, we can visit DC or Maryland battlefields like the Battle of Antietam (MD), the Battle of South Mountain (MD), Monocacy Battlefield (MD), and the Battle of Fort Stevens (DC). Maryland battlefields are relatively close to Frederick, MD, where we can enjoy dinner.
      With all outings, you're responsible for both of our activity expenses, parking fees, and tolls.

        1. This session starts with photos en femme without makeup or a wig as required by the Virtual FFS service. Bring or wear your own clothes to this session.
        2. Then we'll do a makeup makeover and take the same photo poses with makeup and your wig
        3. After you work with the unaffiliated Virtual FFS service, then you'll be able to compare no makeup, FFS visualization, and with makeup looks to see what makeup achieves compared to surgery options. 
  • Virtual Makeup Lessons & Coaching

    Enjoy femme time virtually with Elizabeth Taylor by text, phone, or video. 
  • Please Contact Me to Discuss: Fantasy Feminization Experience

    Similar to a Total Makeover, we will do your makeup and totally transform you. But now you have the option of pursuing some of those naughtier photo ideas or a themed fantasy photoshoot. Fantasies have included school girls, brides, secretaries, French maids, exotic/go-go dancers, street walkers, forced feminization, D/s, Auntie/little girl, bondage and similar BDSM, and erotic/kink/risqué photography. Contact me for details so we can bring your fantasy photoshoot to life. (I do not have any sexual contact with clients. I do not offer strap-on play. Please do not request these services.)
