Be Featured

Stay Awhile is an online publication celebrating authentic, intimate photography of everyday women. Each feature presents thoughtfully composed images paired with a written editorial about the subject, creating a narrative that highlights individuality, confidence, and presence.

Featured collaborators receive a set of polished images capturing their personality and style, which can be used for personal keepsakes or portfolios. Each project contributes to an evolving collection of work that emphasizes quiet intimacy, artistry, and thoughtful storytelling.

Participation offers a unique opportunity to take part in carefully curated, professional shoots designed to feel collaborative, safe, and empowering. Every session is guided to ensure comfort, whether this is your first time in front of a camera or you have prior experience.

Submissions are open to women 18+ in Southern California who are curious to explore this kind of photography, or those wishing to nominate someone whose story deserves to be told. Sessions are scheduled selectively, making participation a distinctive and rewarding experience.
