Immerse yourself in the grandeur of the 18th century. We transform modern moments into timeless, painterly heirlooms.
Book Your Royal ConsultationMarie Antoinette was not merely a Queen; she was the icon of an era defined by frivolity, excess, and unapologetic beauty. From the towering poufy hairstyles to the voluminous pannier skirts adorned with frills and feathers, she turned fashion into theater.
Marie Antoinette Portraits invites you to reclaim that stage. Whether you seek the elegance of the French court or the dramatic flair of Old Hollywood, our studio provides a fully immersive, bespoke experience.

We provide curated costumery, theatrical props, and professional set design.

Founder June Parlett Norsworthy brings a Master's degree in painting and over 55 years of photographic expertise to every session. Inspired by the masters of the Royal Académie—Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and Adélaïde Labille-Guiard—we bridge the gap between canvas and camera.
