We have been working hard on launching a new endeavor, Studio Erotas and are excited to announce the website is now live! The following is the post from the new site announcing our services and a bit about the new studio. Darrin Wassom Photography is still very much alive, thriving and busy but we felt we should separate our boudoir photography business from wedding and portraiture.

We are very pleased and proud to announce Studio Erotas is open for business! As part of our move to Traverse City and officially opening Studio Erotas, we will be running a number of promotions that will be announced later this week. I’m guessing our readers may have a few questions so I hope to answer them below:

What is Studio Erotas?

Studio Erotas is an exclusive, high-end boudoir photography service provided by Darrin Wassom Photography. Yes, we have been doing boudoir photography for the last 3 years but felt we needed to separate this line of services from our main studio, Darrin Wassom Photography.

What does erotas mean?

Erotas is a modern Greek word that means, “passionate, crazy love in which you can think of nothing else” and we feel it provides a perfect definition of how we approach boudoir photography.

Where are you located?

We are located in Traverse City, Michigan and work out of our studio on the beautiful Spider Lake. We also have a studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan and would be happy to travel to your destination, no matter your locale.

Why did you open Studio Erotas?

Studio Erotas was launched to meet the growing demand of our clients to bring a unique, timeless and fresh approach to traditional boudoir photography.  We are an evolution of boudoir photography that is revolutionary in its mission, to explore light, shadows, texture and the human form to create visually stunning works of art. We are experts in the fine art of intimate photography and hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Who are you?

Studio Erotas is a team of creative, caring and committed individuals that share a passion for amazing photography and providing exceptional service. We will be with you every step of the way to create a unique photo session that will allow your individual personality and beauty to take center stage. We are definitely not “cookie-cutter” in our approach and pride ourselves in developing unique concepts for every client. Our favorite saying is, “if you can dream it, we can create it!”

I use “we” a lot when describing our services and team. That is because I have a great team at my side to ensure that every session is perfect. Rhonda, my awesome wife, is the “everything” person. To call her an assistant is not giving her contributions enough praise. She is always on-hand to help out in the studio and there is not a detail that slips by her expert eyes. She also handles much of the “boring” stuff that goes into running a successful business. As if that wasn’t enough, Rhonda can also provide hair and makeup services.

Emilie Eve is our hair and makeup genius at our Grand Rapids location. Emilie was one of our very first clients when we first opened our doors and it wasn’t long before she joined the team. She is an award winning makeup artist with a rich, diverse portfolio. She is also a former model and her experience is invaluable when helping our clients with relaxing and posing during the session.
