Empiria Studios

Specialties

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us! We are a photo + video + hair + makeup team based out of Minneapolis, and love capturing smiles!

«Empiria» is derived from the Greek word for experience, and there is no better word to describe our business model! Our sessions should be about how you feel, who is next to you, where you came from, and where you are going. Our hair and makeup sessions allow your confidence to radiate outward, while the photography and videography sessions capture all of the emotions you experience throughout your journey.

The olive wreath, as seen in our logo, has its roots in Ancient Greek Olympic games. Rather than athletic victory, Empiria Studios adopts the wreath for personal victories, whether that be for your job, family, or marriage!
