Exquisite Luxury Portraits & Personal Styling
Faith is a dedicated image expert, photographer and confidence coach with a passion for helping women feel confident and empowered. She’s the proud owner of three businesses—Emerald Studios, Philocaly Lingerie Boutique, and The Confident Entrepreneur—all of which reflect her deep commitment to celebrating and uplifting women.
​
At Emerald Studios, Faith has created a welcoming, feminine space where women can unwind, feel pampered, and leave their sessions feeling beautiful. Known for her timeless boudoir photography and unique business portraits, she’s spent over a decade expanding her services to meet the evolving needs of her clients.
In 2014, she added personal styling and image consulting, and through these experiences, she realized that many of her clients were searching for lingerie that was not only beautiful but also comfortable and confidence-boosting. This inspired her to open Philocaly Lingerie Boutique in 2016, a specialized boutique offering handpicked lingerie that helps women feel empowered and radiant.
​
In addition to these ventures, Faith is also the voice behind The Confident Entrepreneur podcast, where she shares her journey as a business owner, offering inspiration and practical tips to fellow entrepreneurs on building confidence and overcoming challenges.
​
Faith is deeply passionate about promoting body positivity, encouraging women to embrace their natural beauty, and empowering them to feel confident in every aspect of life.
When she’s not running her businesses, Faith enjoys life with her husband of 21 years, is a proud mom to two sons, and the caretaker of four dogs and 3 cats. She also loves decorating, kayaking, baking & cooking for her family and giving back to her community by volunteering at her local church and supporting local charities.
Heather is an advanced certified makeup artist, licensed cosmetologist, and permanent makeup artist with 25 years of experience in the beauty industry. For over 10 years, she has been an integral part of the Emerald Studios team, using her talents to make every client feel radiant and empowered. In addition to her work with Emerald, Heather runs her own business, Chaya Beauty, where she continues to pursue her passion for helping women feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.
​
Outside of building her business and working with Emerald, Heather leads a life full of purpose and service. She can often be found at her church, leading worship, or volunteering for **Mikey’s Chance**, a local pet rescue close to her heart. Heather is also a proud mother of two grown daughters, a loving wife, and a devoted “fur-mom” to her two cherished pets. Her love for animals is boundless, and whether she’s volunteering at the shelter or fostering pets in need, she’s always ready to help.
​
Recently, Heather’s life has been filled with even more joy as she welcomed her first grandchild, who brings her immense happiness. Growing up in a military family, she moved around often, giving her a deep appreciation for different people and cultures. A true Southern soul, she’s a sweet tea-sipping, Jesus-loving advocate for equality and kindness, bringing strength, warmth, and compassion to everything she does.
