From participants
What attendees are saying.
An engaging portrait experience founders remember, with images they are excited to use.
Natasha 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.
My mini session with Natasha felt so comfortable. She really captured my essence in so many different scenes that I had a huge variety of amazing shots to pick from.
It was such a pleasure to work with Natasha. She made it so easy for me to pose, something that I am usually very uncomfortable with. The photos came out stunning.

Frequently asked questions
What sponsors usually want to know.
What types of events can we sponsor?
Sponsorships are available for select Featured Founders portrait events serving women founders. Event format, capacity, location, and available opportunities vary.
Who typically attends?
Events are designed for women founders across stages, including early-stage, scaling, fundraising, and community-leading founders.
How many attendees are expected?
Events are designed for 15 to 25 women founders. Final attendance may vary by venue, format, and event capacity.
What does thank-you email recognition include?
Every sponsor is included in the shared sponsor graphic and recognized in the email. Founder Visibility Sponsors are listed in the sponsor section near the end, Featured Event Sponsors receive a short company feature, and Brand Experience Sponsors receive a lead company feature near the beginning.
Can a company representative attend?
Yes. The included number of representatives depends on the confirmed sponsorship level and event capacity.
What is a visible Luma co-host listing?
Featured Event and Brand Experience Sponsors may be publicly listed as co-hosts on the relevant Luma event page.
Will sponsors receive attendee contact information?
Sponsorship does not automatically include attendee contact information. Any sponsor connection or information-sharing opportunity must be clearly disclosed and confirmed for the specific event.
How do onsite materials and a dedicated area differ?
Shared onsite placement allows approved cards, brochures, or similar materials to be displayed in a communal sponsor area. A dedicated onsite area gives a Brand Experience Sponsor its own reserved space for an activation. Sponsors may bring their own approved roll-up banner and materials, and Featured Founders reserves the agreed placement space at the event.
Are onsite opportunities available at every venue?
Yes. Confirmed onsite benefits are included with the applicable sponsorship level. Brand Experience Sponsors receive a dedicated activation area, with its exact size and placement tailored to the venue and event format.
Does submitting an inquiry reserve sponsorship?
No. An inquiry begins the conversation. Sponsorship is confirmed only after the event fit, package, availability, and agreement are finalized.
