Your kid deserves better than basic baseball photos.
Learn More - SiouxEmpirePhotos.com/epic

You know the ones.

Stand in line.
Hold the bat.
Smile at the camera.
Next kid.

That’s fine for the league program.

But your baseball player is not basic.

This summer, we are creating epic baseball portraits with dramatic lighting, fog, fire, color, and bold effects that look like they belong on a stadium poster.

These are not quick snapshots.

These are the kind of images your kid will want to show off. The kind grandparents will want printed. The kind that make your player look strong, focused, confident, and ready for the season.

Bring the glove.
Bring the bat.
Bring the cleats.
Bring the attitude.

We’ll bring the lights, smoke, fire, and the kind of setup league photo day will never give you.

Baseball season goes fast. Their age, their team, their jersey, this version of them only happens once.

Let’s make pictures worthy of it.

Message us now to book your summer baseball shoot.

Newborn photography looks soft and simple when it’s done right, but there is a lot happening behind the scenes.

Posing. Lighting. Angles. Wrapping. Safety. Soothing. Timing. Tiny adjustments that make a big difference.

On Saturday, June 27th, we’re hosting a hands-on Newborn Photography Workshop at West Sioux Studios from 10:00am-12:00pm.

This class will include instruction, demonstration, and a guided shoot so you can watch the process, ask questions, and create images for your own portfolio.

This is a great class for photographers who want to feel more confident working with newborns, build their portfolio, or add newborn sessions to their business.

Spots are limited.

This is a hands-on workshop with real studio newborn models. You won’t sit and watch. You’ll shoot, adjust, learn, and see your results improve right in front of you.

Hello everyone! We have a list of paid modeling jobs for the classes, styled shoots, group events and more this Fall and Spring!

If you are interested in modeling with us please fill out the form below -
https://forms.gle/uyonErcGZQBXSS9f9

Every month we have 5-10 shoots where we collaborate with photographers and models at the studio, out in public, or for commercial contracts.

Keep in mind, we generally receive dozens of models for each shoot, we work diligently to work with a wide variety of models at our different events, but unfortunately we can't always work with everyone!

Here are some of the different kinds of shoots you might be offered to participate in:

Class Model - For each of our photography classes, it helps to have models for the students to photograph and try out the new skills that they are learning. These classes are very friendly and slow paced - fantastic for anyone wanting to try modeling for the first time... but also great practice for an experienced model!

Styled/Group Shoot - These are shoots where either one, a few, or a group of photographers will be working with you to capture a specific style of images. We will always work with you on posing, wardrobe, and the mood of the shoot. These can be a little bit more challenging but are always super fun and exciting shoots. The group of photographers at West Sioux Studios are all very kind and helpful, so newbies are welcome for these types of shoots too!

Collaboration Events - These are NEW at West Sioux Studios. For these shoots we will work with multiple models and photographers. You will have an entire set to work with, and you will work with photographers either 1-on-1 or in small groups for about 10-15 minutes... then the photographers will switch. Lots of pictures, lots of new connections, LOTS OF FUN!!!

Hands-on workshop built for photographers who want to stop hoping for good light… and start creating with purpose.

Secure your spot now:

Most photographers rely on whatever light they get.

The ones who stand out know how to use it.

Natural light isn’t one look.

It can be soft.
It can be dramatic.
It can be bold, moody, or editorial.

And once you understand it… everything changes.

On March 28th, I’m breaking down how to see light, shape it, and use it in ways most photographers completely miss.

You won’t sit and watch.
You’ll shoot. Adjust. Learn in real time.

Real setups. Real direction. Real results.

If you’ve ever:
• Struggled to find “good light”
• Felt stuck shooting the same look every time
• Wanted your photos to feel more intentional

This workshop is for you.

Spots are almost gone for Model Day.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your photos… this is your moment.

For $50, you get:
• a guided photoshoot
• help with posing (no experience needed)
• one professional image included
• the option to build a full comp card or portfolio

This is perfect if:
– you’ve never modeled before

I’ll walk you through everything. You don’t need to know how to pose.

Only a few spots left.

Every lens looks good here

This studio is 25 feet long.
We tested lenses from 24mm to 200mm.
All the photos look great.
They simply feel different.

Think of lenses like steps.
Close steps.
Far steps.
Same room.
New view.

50mm is the safe pick.
It feels natural.
It works for people.
It works for kids.
It works when you feel unsure.

24–70mm gives you choices.
Zoom in.
Zoom out.
Perfect for groups.
Perfect when people move around.

185mm and 200mm feel tight.
Amazing faces.
Clean backgrounds.
Great headshots.
Great half bodies.
No full body room at the far end.

Nothing is wrong here.
You choose the look.
You choose the story.
Same space.
Different magic.

Save this before your next studio shoot.
