This very overdue love bomb goes out to one of our favorite little stinkers, @thenamnejrteen @melodeecares Melodee Spady. 💗

Besides always being amazing in front of the camera, Melodee brings exactly the right amount of ornery and sass to every session. At this point, the @loradevine -and-Melodee sass-off is practically included in the package, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 😂

Also…how old were you when you first learned that ornery was actually spelled “ornery”? Because I was embarrassingly old when a group of Southern ladies finally schooled me. But I digress…

Melodee, we love you and are so excited for your year as the 2026 National American Miss Nebraska Jr. Teen! 👑 And because apparently winning the crown wasn’t enough, she also took home the Photogenic win with one of her Devine Studios images. We’re not saying we’re surprised… 😉📸

We’re so proud of you, Melodee, and can’t wait to see what you do next! 💗

Zara Larsson-inspired glam on Miss Teen USA 2025, Mailyn Marsh 💖

I had so much fun recreating this colorful look! What Zara makeup look are you most obsessed with?

(We did this look back in May for Mailyn’s homecoming at the 2026 Miss MO USA pj party, but I’m just now getting around to making a video)

Congratulations to @syriah_pageants @syriah_jones on being named the Junior Photogenic winner in the @international.miss.pageant photo contest! 💕

We had the pleasure of working with Syriah while she was serving as a UNM national queen, and she and her mom were an absolute joy from the moment they arrived. Syriah is poised, sweet, and so much fun to photograph. She also has one of the most memorable and adorable laughs we have ever heard. If there were a Laughogenic award, she would have our vote for that too! 😂

We are so happy to see this image recognized and excited for all the opportunities this win brings her at International Miss 2027.

Congratulations, Syriah! We can’t wait to see what comes next for you! ❤️

Go shine, Arden Grace! 🩷

We’ve had the privilege of photographing beautiful @chloeann_official for the past five or six years, and looking back at one of her very first sessions with us makes it hard to believe how quickly the time has gone. Swipe to see the sweetest little throwback!

Watching Chloe grow from that adorable little girl into the poised and beautiful young woman she is today has been so special. She and her wonderful mom have always been incredibly kind, loyal and supportive of us, and clients like them are such a big part of why we love what we do.

Sending Chloe so much love and good luck as she competes at the Royalty USA National Pageant this weekend! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to watch you shine! 💕

I had been thinking about building a cyclorama wall for more than a decade. Not because it was going to transform our studio into some enormous dream space, but because I knew it would give us more freedom in how we create, and more possibilities for every client who steps in front of our camera.

Last year, I finally decided it was time.

I was told the project probably should have taken around three weeks with a couple of people. But with @loradevine leaving to work at Ideal Miss and several shoots coming up, I convinced myself I could finish it before she returned.

Lucas (our son) helped me hold a board or two through some of the more difficult early stages, and eight very long days later, it was finished.

I’m proud of what we built, although I also learned a difficult lesson about pushing too hard. I worked through far more pain than I should have and ended up dealing with wrist and forearm tendonitis for nearly six months. The wall was absolutely worth building, but hurting myself to finish it that quickly wasn’t.

Today, it gives us room for more movement, cleaner full-length images, larger compositions and ideas we simply couldn’t create in the studio before.

Every improvement we make here has the same purpose: to keep expanding what we can create and give our clients the best experience and images possible. I’m excited to see what else we make in the studio in the years ahead. 🤍

We currently have a few openings remaining in late September and throughout October. If you’ve been thinking about creating something with us, we’d love to have you in the studio.

Happy Birthday to the absolutely incredible Vegas Turner! 🤍

We’ve been lucky enough to know Vegas and watch her grow over the past five or six years, and she has always been one of those people who leaves an impression. She is incredibly talented, genuinely sweet and has carried herself with a maturity far beyond her years for as long as we’ve known her.

Watching her represent Missouri and earn a Top 10 placement at Miss Teen USA was such a proud moment. But as impressive as all of her accomplishments are, it’s the person she is that makes her truly special.

Vegas also shares a birthday with my mom, so I probably should have known from the beginning there was something about her I was going to love! 😊

Happy Birthday, Vegas! We’re so proud of you and cannot wait to see everything still ahead of you! 💕

Could she be any sweeter? 💕

We absolutely loved having beautiful Kate in the studio! She is the perfect combination of sweetness and personality!

Getting to spend time with Kate and her wonderful mom made this session even sweeter. We’re so grateful they made the trip from Arkansas and trusted us to create these together. We have always had such a soft spot for our Arkansas girls, and Kate was the sweetest reminder of why. 🤍

We currently have a few openings remaining in late September and availability throughout October. If you’ve been thinking about creating with us, we’d love to start planning something special together!

A new crown, and absolutely no surprise!

Huge congratulations to the absolutely stunning @jewelia_reece , your new @misscharmingteen.tv

Jewelia has that rare, stop-you-in-your-tracks kind of beauty, and the presence to match it. We are so proud of her, but not even a little surprised to see another crown on her head.

Congratulations, Jewelia! ❤️
