Inside The Session
Every pose, every expression — guided from start to finish.
What to Expect
Every detail
handled for you.
You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to know what to wear. You don’t even need to feel confident walking in. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
01
Your Consultation Call
Before anything else, we get to know you — your vision, what makes you nervous, and what you’re hoping to walk away with. This is where your session gets built around you, specifically.
02
Hair, Makeup & Styling
You arrive at our private Farmingdale studio and our beauty team takes care of everything. Camera-ready hair and makeup, wardrobe selection from our 100+ piece collection — all included.
03
Your Glamour Session
You’ll be guided through every pose and expression. You never have to guess what to do. With expert lighting, posing, and connection, your beauty simply comes forward.
04
Your Private Reveal
We present your finished, retouched images in a private viewing session. This is the moment most clients say changed something for them. You choose what you love.
The Experience
It’s okay to be nervous. That’s exactly when your light shines brightest.
The Transformation
Seeing yourself
for the first time.
Real women. Real sessions. Professional hair, makeup, and styling included — no filters, no outside editing. Just you, at your absolute best.
“It’s okay to be nervous.
It’s okay to be out of your comfort zone.
That’s exactly when your light shines brightest.”
— Mary BeVard
From Women Who’ve Been Here
What happens when you
say yes to yourself.
Thank you Mary for giving me the opportunity to tell my story and being a part of my journey. We are all strong, beautiful, intelligent women. Sometimes we need to be reminded. Keep slaying it ladies — we got this.
— Elizabeth ·
I cannot believe that’s me. My experience was awesome. This was an empowering experience — as women age we must bring our inner beauty out for all to see. If you are thinking about doing this, go for it. You will never regret it.
— Rebecca
You absolutely make people feel and look beautiful. It’s through your eyes that you see the beauty in people.

Meet Your Photographer
This camera is magic.
It finds something special in everyone.
I’m Mary BeVard, and I’ve spent many years photographing women across Long Island. I know what it feels like to stand in front of a camera and not recognize the woman looking back. That’s exactly why I built this studio.
Every session I create is built around one thing — showing you the beauty that’s always been there. It’s not about changing you. It’s about finally letting you see yourself the way the people who love you already do.
— Mary BeVard
Common Questions
Everything you
want to know.
What age is glamour photography for?
Our glamour sessions welcome women and girls ages 12 and up. From tween milestone celebrations to women in their 60s and beyond, this experience is designed for every woman who is ready to be seen — on her own terms, at any stage of life.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes — professional hair and makeup are included in every glamour session. Our beauty team specializes in camera-ready looks that photograph beautifully under studio lighting. You simply arrive and we take care of everything else.
What if I’m not photogenic?
There is no such thing as not being photogenic. No one is born photogenic — it’s about feeling comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s exactly what we create for you. With expert posing, lighting, and direction throughout your session, your inner beauty has nowhere to hide.
What should I bring?
Most of what you need is already here — over 100 gowns, statement pieces, and accessories in a range of sizes. What we ask you to bring are the essentials most women already own: shoes that make you feel great, any undergarments you prefer, and a pair of jeans or casual clothes for getting ready. Everything else is taken care of. We’ll discuss the full details at your consultation so you arrive completely prepared and ready to enjoy the experience.
Can this be given as a gift?
Absolutely — and it’s one of the most meaningful gifts you can give a woman. Gift sessions are available for birthdays, Mother’s Day, holidays, Sweet 16s, graduations, and any occasion where you want to give someone something truly unforgettable. Contact us and we’ll handle everything.
Where is the studio located?
The BeVard Studio is located at 52 Bernard Street in Farmingdale, New York — centrally located in Nassau County and easily accessible from across Long Island, including Suffolk County, Queens, and New York City.
How much does a glamour session cost?
Headshots begin at $490. For glamour, beauty, and custom portrait sessions, every experience is designed around your vision, so pricing is personalized rather than packaged. Many clients invest $2,700 or more in their finished artwork and images, with some choosing larger collections and custom wall pieces. We’ll discuss your goals during your consultation so I can recommend the experience that’s the best fit for you.
What is the difference between glamour and boudoir photography?
Glamour photography is bold, luminous, and editorial — think magazine covers, couture gowns, dramatic lighting, and powerful portraits that celebrate you fully clothed. Boudoir photography is more intimate and private, celebrating femininity in a softer, more personal way. Both are empowering — the right choice depends on what you want to feel and how you want to be seen.
Do you serve Nassau County and Suffolk County?
Yes — women come to us from Massapequa, Huntington, Melville, Syosset, Garden City, Wantagh, Bethpage, Plainview, and towns across Long Island for glamour portrait sessions. Our Farmingdale studio is centrally located in Nassau County and easily accessible from anywhere on Long Island.
