You’re not afraid of the camera.
You’re just wishing for the right one.
House of 301 is a portrait studio in Traverse City built on one belief, that when the experience is right, the photos follow. Through direction, intention, and a space where you’re free to just be yourself, we create images that feel exactly like you. On your best day.
This isn’t about having photos.
It’s about whether you recognize the person in them.
When you want images
that feel as good as they look.
Meet Jules
I spent over a decade as a model and for most of that time, I still didn’t feel like myself in photos.
Not because I wasn’t confident. Because I was always performing for the camera, not being seen by it.
That changed when I found the right direction from the right photographer, and that’s what I bring to every session.
You don’t need to arrive confident.
You just need to show up.
You don’t have to be the most confident person in front of
the camera to look great in photos.
Through conversation, direction, styling, and a considered approach,
the goal is simple:
Images that feel natural, elevated, and unmistakably you.
Finally.
Photos that feel like you.
Most people don’t struggle with how they look, they struggle with how they feel on camera. That’s where I work differently.
With a background in modeling, I don’t just shoot, I guide. So you’re not guessing about what to do, and you’re not left hoping it turns out.
At House of 301, everything from light
to direction, is intentional. Because when the experience is right, the photos follow.
