Fairy Goddess
Muse Call
A curated portrait experience for women who feel drawn to something magical, expressive, and deeply intentional.
This is not a professional model call. No experience needed, just you.
We tell you the numbers upfront. Always. That's not a marketing tactic, it's just how we do business.
There's a moment when you see something and feel it. Not excitement. Recognition.
The Fairy Goddess Muse Experience was created for women who feel called to step into fantasy, softness, and quiet power, and who want to be guided through something that feels thoughtful, immersive, and art-forward.
This isn't about posing or performing. It's about embodiment, expression, and being seen in a new way.
This experience is perfect for you if...
- You're drawn to ethereal, goddess, or fantasy imagery
- You value intentional art over quick photos
- You want to feel supported and guided, not left to figure it out alone
- You're comfortable investing in yourself
- You're craving something different, not ordinary
No modeling experience required. No pressure to get it right. You are guided every step of the way.
Every muse is fully guided, styled, and cared for

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this free? What do I actually receive?
Let's be direct, because we don't hide anything. This is not a free session, and we've never called it one. As a muse, your $400 session fee is waived, and you receive an 8x12 metal wall art print of your favorite image, a $600 value, at no cost. In exchange, we ask for a full model release so we can feature your images in our marketing. A $250 deposit reserves your date, and every dollar of it applies toward your collection. It is a credit, not a fee. Nothing is due until after you've spoken with our team and decided you want to move forward. That's the whole offer. No fine print, no surprises.
What is the $250 deposit, exactly?
It secures your session date on our calendar and applies in full toward the collection you choose. It is not an additional cost on top of anything. We ask for it because our muse spots are limited, and a held date that goes unused means another woman didn't get it. We've found that the women who are truly ready have no hesitation here. And you'll never be asked for it before you've had a real conversation with us first.
Where is the studio located?
500 N Main St, Suite 100, Winston-Salem, NC 27101, in the heart of Downtown Winston-Salem.
I'm nervous and have no idea where to begin.
You're in a safe place. It's completely normal to feel nervous. Most clients go from anxious to at ease once they realize we guide every step, you'll never be left wondering what's next.
What do I wear? Do you help with this?
Yes. Styling is everything. Once booked, you'll receive our full session prep guide covering wardrobe, where to shop, and our favorite picks. Bring your top choices and we'll narrow down your final looks together. Our client wardrobe is also available to use.
How soon will I see my images?
You'll view and select your favorites the same day as your session. Digital galleries are delivered within 5 to 7 business days, and products like wall art and albums arrive in 2 to 4 weeks. Both can be expedited on request.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
Not at all. We photograph non-boudoir portraits, branding sessions, and milestone shoots too. Wear what you're comfortable in and let's create something beautiful.
What is the total cost?
As a Fairy Goddess Muse, your $400 session fee is waived and your $250 deposit is fully credited toward your collection. Everyone invests differently based on how they want their images displayed. Our full menu is shared during your call with our team, a-la-carte products start at $450, and collections start at $750 and go up from there.
Why do muses receive so much included?
We waive the $400 session fee and include your 8x12 metal wall art ($600 total value) in exchange for a full model release, which allows us to feature your images in our marketing. It's a true exchange: you receive an elevated experience at muse pricing, and we get to showcase real women, not models, in our work.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, including in-house 0% financing for up to 6 months, plus third-party options like Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, and PayPal Credit, subject to approval.
Hi, I'm Karen Salinas
My mission is to help women tap into the best, most unapologetic version of themselves. My first experience in front of a camera convinced me I wanted to do the same for others, to capture imagery that transforms how women feel about themselves.
All women deserve to be heard, understood, and to feel safe. That's the energy we cultivate at The Goddess Experience, where we become besties for the resties. I've got your back.
I've photographed women from every walk of life, every size, every body type, all equally amazing. My goal is to give you an escape, a place to leave the everyday behind and feel like the best version of yourself.
Let's do this, sis.
