What attendees are saying.
A guided portrait experience designed to help people feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely excited about their images.
Natasha was so great to work with! As someone who is quite shy in front of the camera, she made me comfortable really quickly while also providing the right amount of direction. She captured a variety of backgrounds and poses, giving me lots of great options to choose from. I would highly recommend her!Kristina Lee
My mini session with Natasha felt so comfortable, and I was so impressed by the quantity and quality of the headshots I got. She really captured my essence in so many different scenes that I have a huge variety of amazing shots to pick from. I would absolutely recommend her!Lauren O’Halloran
It was such a pleasure to work with Natasha! She made it so easy for me to pose, something that I usually am very uncomfortable with. The photos came out stunning, and I can't wait to use them for my professional pages and profiles!Karine Sarkissian

Frequently asked questions
What community partners usually want to know.
How is this different from booking a Community Photo Day?
A private Community Photo Day is produced specifically for one organization and may take place at its location. Community Partners instead join a Featured Founders event that is already being produced for a broader group of women founders.
Is there a cost to become a Community Partner?
Community Partnership is a promotional collaboration rather than a paid hosting package. Selected partners contribute by sharing the event with their members. Any event-specific terms are confirmed before the partnership is announced.
What does our organization need to share?
Featured Founders provides a unique partner link and ready-to-share language. Partners commit to one primary member announcement and one reminder before the event. This may include email, a newsletter, Slack or Discord, a member platform, or another trusted community channel. Partners with an event calendar are also encouraged to add the event there.
What does each participant receive?
Each photographed participant receives one professionally edited portrait. Community members also receive preferred pricing on additional photographs.
Do we need to provide the venue?
No. Community Partnership is centered on sharing the opportunity with your members. Venue arrangements are handled separately unless your organization also chooses to serve as a Venue Partner.
How are Community Partners recognized?
Partners are featured on the relevant event page and recognized in a Featured Founders thank-you post. Recognition is confirmed for each event before promotion begins.
Will we receive participant contact information?
Participant information is handled by Featured Founders. Any direct introduction or communication with a partner requires the participant's clear consent.
