Welcome to FiFi on the Streets
FiFi on the Streets is more than a photoshoot — she’s a movement. A traveling portrait series celebrating the voices and stories of women in communities across North Carolina and beyond.
Step into an exquisite gown with main character vibes and a moment that honors your story. Through editorial-style portraits, we capture strength, truth, and that unmistakable sparkle unique to you. Whether you’re rediscovering your spark, marking a milestone, or simply craving a moment to be fully seen — this experience is for you.
We tell our stories to inspire — to remind every woman she is seen, valued, and never alone on her journey. Portrait sessions are limited in number to keep each experience deeply personal — reserve your session and join the movement. — reserve your session and join the movement.
But let me tell you how it really began…
FiFi quickly became the most requested gown in my studio — and for good reason. There’s something about her that makes women stand a little taller, speak a little more boldly, and share parts of themselves they’ve kept tucked away.
She became the catalyst for so many unforgettable sessions:
- A woman on a cancer journey.
- Another celebrating a 100-pound weight loss.
- Someone healing from heartbreak.
- A high school senior stepping into adulthood.
- A Queen turning 50 and finally ready to be seen.
Because of her power to advocate for women unlocking stories, I created a dedicated space: Portraits of FiFi — with featured blog stories and an Instagram page, @PortraitofFiFi, to carry her stories even further.
A friend saw what she was becoming and said, “You need to take her to the streets.” Urban backdrops. Candid moments. Real women, real places, real power. It was brilliant. And that’s how this new chapter began.
I don’t know exactly where this will go — but I know what I hope is that it moves people. That it reminds women they are art. And without question, it brings a little more beauty and truth to the world. What I do know, it’s going to take a village. I’m so glad you’re considering being part of this vision and journey.
Where we're Heading?
We’re kicking off in my hometown of Fuquay-Varina with stops in down town Raleigh, and more — with dates and locations expanding to Charlotte, Wilmington, NYC, Richmond (VA), Charleston (SC), Orlando, Nashville (TN), Atlanta (GA), and beyond. If your city isn’t on the list but you want FiFi on the Streets to visit your community, please reach out! Let’s connect and bring this celebration of women to your neighborhood.
What to Expect.

Before your shoot, we’ll connect over Zoom to align on your vision, vibe, and wardrobe. On the day of, you’ll be guided through a 40-minute editorial-style session designed to reflect your beauty, strength, and sparkle — captured in the streets and spaces that feel like home.

Together, we’re building something beautiful — lifting voices across generations and reminding every woman of her lasting worth.

Let’s get to know each other
Welcome, I'm Shira
I created Shira W Rose Studios to serve as a movement designed to uplift women through the power of portraiture. It is a celebration of body diversity of all shapes and sizes. A journey to self-love and acceptance. A platform to instill confidence and return to a place of inner power, strength, and love.
Portraiture, for me, is to capture one's authentic beauty. As a woman, when you sit before my camera, it's not about perfection but rather a return to femininity and that certain sparkle that makes you uniquely you.
If you are ready to see yourself in a whole new light and to be celebrated as we strip away all the societal pressures that, as women, we take upon ourselves, I want to be your photographer and capture the most beautiful portrait you have ever seen of yourself.

Q. Who can participate?
Any woman who feels called to be seen, celebrated, and photographed in FiFi. This experience is for all women—no modeling experience required.
Q. Where do the sessions take place?
Each city has a designated downtown hub where we meet, change into FiFi, and create portraits in nearby locations. We’ll share exact meeting details once you're booked.
Q. Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup are offered à la carte for $200 and are only available in select cities. We’ll let you know during booking whether it's an option for your location.
What is your cancelation policy?
Every session is intentionally designed and time slots are limited — for that reason, all payments are non-refundable.
Rescheduling (Local Sessions – Raleigh-Durham & Surrounding Areas):
You may reschedule with at least 7 days' notice. We’ll do our best to find a new time within the same community or, if weather-related, move to the studio in Fuquay-Varina.
Rescheduling (Travel Sessions – FiFi on the Streets Tour):
Due to the nature of travel, rescheduling is not guaranteed for sessions outside the Triangle area. If you are unable to make your time slot, we will do our best to accommodate you on an alternate date in that same region if another trip or shoot day is planned — but this is not always possible.
Late Cancellations & No-Shows:
Cancellations made within 7 days of the session may be subject to a $200 rebooking fee, and no-shows or cancellations within 48 hours will result in forfeiting the session and payment.
Q. Will my story be shared publicly?
Only if you give us permission. While FiFi is a storytelling dress, your comfort comes first. You can absolutely enjoy the experience without being featured.
Q. What if it rains?
In the Raleigh-Durham area, we’ll move to Shira’s studio in historic Fuquay-Varina. In other regions, we’ll coordinate a rain date based on your location.
Q. Can I upgrade my package after booking?
Yes, absolutely! If you’re booked for the smaller package and find yourself loving more images (as most do), you can upgrade to the larger package or purchase additional images à la carte.
Additional images can be purchased in sets of 3 or 5, so you can build your collection to exactly what you love — no pressure, just options.
