We are THRILLED you want to join the club!
Have you ever thought to yourself "How the heck do I make friends as an adult!?" We have the answer for you! Introducing the Divine Feminine Social Club brought to you by Autumn Luciano Studios and KNG Adventures.
The Social Club is a space where we can gather and create community in a supportive, creative and safe environment. Through a series of activities throughout the year, we look forward to getting to know you, quirks and all!
Our first event launches this Fall at the Turner Dodge House where we will kick off Halloween season with a Victorian photoshoot and party- Think; The Secret Garden meets A Little Princess, Dark and moody victorian slumber party vibes!

This is an incredible value as you will get to experience ALL of this for less than a usual session fee with Autumn at Turner-Dodge House, PLUS you will be gifted a $400 credit towards the photo collection of your choice.
Important Notes:
- This is an inclusive event, we welcome all members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities
- Masking is welcome, Autumn will be masked the entire time of the shoot (and probably most of the party) due to being immunocompromised. For this reason if you are sick/have a positive covid test or known exposure, please consider not attending for the health of everyone. While payments are non-refundable, Autumn is happy to offer everything you paid towards the event as a gift voucher towards a full session in her studio at a later date OR even a special mini if you don't have the budget for a full experience. We appreciate you being honest to keep the collective safe
- For those who want to mask, please feel free! You will need to unmask during the active part of the shoot but other than that please feel comfortable masking if you do regularly and want to.
- The photoshoot is MUCH easier than you'd expect, Autumn will pose you from head to toe, so no worries if you have no idea what to do, we will make sure your portraits turn out stunning!!
What's not included:
- Photos in print or digital format are not included in the session fee, these must be purchased after the event through a collection with Autumn Luciano Studios
- Hair and makeup styling (we can send along Victorian rag curl tutorials or point you to some local stylists who can help!) Access to long wavy studio wigs will be available for the photoshoot portion of the event but not the after party. Only soft, basic makeup is needed.
- After Party wardrobe- we recommend a white Victorian nightgown like this
- Props, instruments etc. that you may need to showcase your talent. Bring those with you!

How it works:
- We do your consultation in person or via email depending on what you're able to do.
- Day of the event: we shoot 10 poses through the house, once we nail each shot, Autumn will show you the image on the back of the camera to get your approval before moving to the next pose.
- After the event Autumn will grab the best shot of each of your 10 poses and will schedule a portrait reveal, either in person on the big screen in her Lansing studio, or if you are from out of town and can't return, Autumn can arrange a zoom reveal. Images will be un-retouched at the reveal, we can collaborate on any requests for retouching you may have.
- At the reveal you will pick which photos you love and want to keep.
- Once approved, Autumn will send you a download album, and send your images to the lab for printing, which can either be shipped to you, or you may pick up at the studio once they are ready.
Collections start at 5 images and goes up to all 10 images for this event. You may do 6, 7, etc. It depends on what you love. The rate per image drops at 10 image level.
After your order is paid in full, Autumn will retouch your images and send you an approval album. At this point you can either give her a the green light or request additional tweaks until you are happy with the final result.
Reveals: Autumn will start asking everyone to contact her to book a reveal within a few days after the event. This will be based on your schedule and is flexible.
After you paid for your order retouching can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks depending on her editing queue. Once retouches are approved it can take 3-4 weeks to have physical prints ready, and a few days extra if you need them shipped.
A collection consists of: Every image you choose to order delivered as a high resolution digital image, with personal printing rights and publication rights. It also consists of all of your images printed 8x10 and hand matted in a white 11x14 size mat, stored in an 11x14 image cover folio box (2 Images of your choice from your order on front and back covers of the box)
Collection Rates:
5 image collection, with your $400 credit: $900
Each additional image costs: $260
10 image collection, with your $400 credit: $1,900
(6% Michigan sales tax will also apply, these are additional costs on top of the event fee. There is no commitment to purchase your photos, Autumn only wants you taking home what portraits you love)
You may request digital versions of your images only, but it will not affect the rate.
Financing options for photo collections:
Autumn accepts paypal credit, afterpay, and all forms of major credit cards.
She also can arrange a payment plan directly for through for those who don't want to use credit. We take your total and divide it for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payments, across 12 months or less. Depending on your budget. With payment plans through me; you do have to wait to receive your images until the payment is made in full.

Using a line of credit and paying in full means you only wait the normal retouching and printing times.
Autumn is very flexible with payment plans as long as you stay in touch, so if at any point you need extra time, or need to just rework your plan, please reach out to her! We don't decide on a payment plan until you see your images at your reveal and decide what you want!
