Yearbook-style portraits that celebrate your cosplay
A fast, fun portrait booth that gives you clean, timeless photos and instant prints.
About the Studio
Studio Shay is an immersive, pop-up portrait experience dedicated to capturing your convention highlights in stunning, premium detail. But we are on a mission that goes beyond the camera lens.
For us, celebrating this community goes hand-in-hand with supporting it. That's why giving back is built into the DNA of every event we do. A portion of every single portrait session fee is donated directly to non-profit organizations making a difference locally and nationally. Through our special booth initiatives, we work together with our clients to multiply that impact even further. The Yearbook Edition is proudly raising funds for The Trevor Project.
We are incredibly grateful for your support in our mission. Thank you for helping us turn beautiful keepsakes into meaningful real-world action!
