WHAT'S HAPPENING UPSTAIRS.
GATHER. CREATE. CELEBRATE.
Sometimes we're hosting your party.
Sometimes we're photographing something.
Sometimes there's a workshop, pop-up, portrait experience, dinner, collaboration, or idea we couldn't stop thinking about.
This is where you'll find what's currently happening at Aesthetic Collective.
Come upstairs. Something good is happening.
CHRISTMAS CONTENT WEEK
Before you sell the minis, you need something to show them.
September 15–19, 2026
We're opening the Christmas sets early exclusively for photographers who need content to market their upcoming Christmas sessions.
Bring your camera and 1–2 models and spend 20 minutes creating the photographs, Reels and portfolio content you'll use to launch your holiday season.
20 minutes | $40
This is a promotional content-building appointment. We will have Raw studio photos available for you to edit for your marketing. Those will be shared after the sets come down.
No paid client sessions. Models may not be charged a session or participation fee. Maximum two models. No rotating families or groups. One promotional Content Week reservation per photographer. Sets must remain as installed, no altering the set.
Natural light only.
The images you create are absolutely yours to use to advertise and sell your own Christmas sessions.
Build the content. Then book the clients.
CHRISTMAS 2026 AT AESTHETIC COLLECTIVE
Three Christmas worlds. One studio.
Christmas is taking over Aesthetic Collective.
This year, we're creating three completely different holiday installations designed to give photographers variety, depth and something that feels a little less like a Christmas backdrop and a lot more like a scene.
Available November 9 – December 12, 2026.
You bring your camera + your clients.
We've handled the rest.

Aesthetic Collective is the home studio of Worth a Duck Photography, with portrait experiences happening throughout the year.
From personality portraits and seniors to seasonal concepts and limited-edition sessions, there's usually something a little different happening in front of the camera.
