• Tools, Inspiration, and Guidance for Your Creative Journey.

One Hour. One Expert. The Right Gear.

Because photography gear isn’t one-size-fits-all.

At Looking Glass, we know that choosing the right gear isn’t just about specs—it’s about you. Your goals, your style, your questions, and where you want to go next in your photography.

That’s why we created Outfitting: a focused, one-on-one session with one of our expert Photo Coaches who’s here to guide, not sell. It’s not just a consultation—it’s a conversation with purpose. Whether you're new to photography, returning after a break, switching systems, or looking to specialize (wildlife, portrait, macro—anything!), we’ll help you make smart, confident decisions that serve your creative life.


How It Works

1. Book Your Session
Schedule a 1-hour Outfitting appointment—for either in the store or via Zoom. A $120 fee reserves your time and shows you’re ready to make real progress with the help of an expert.

2. Get Fully Focused Attention
This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a personalized strategy session. We’ll talk about your needs, show you real gear, walk through options, and help you understand what will truly work best. No rushing. No pressure. Just thoughtful, practical guidance.

3. Apply the $120 Fee as Credit Toward Gear
If you make a qualifying purchase within 7 days, we apply your $120 fee toward that gear. So not only do you get expert help—you also get that fee right back when you’re ready to move forward. Win-win.

No purchase? No problem. You still walk away with peace of mind and a clear sense of direction.


Why Book an Outfitting Instead of Just Dropping By?

We love when people stop by—Looking Glass is built on real conversations and hands-on help. But when you want focused time, deeper advice, and a meticulous, clear path forward, an Outfitting gives you our full attention and expertise with no distractions.

Think of it like this: A casual visit is great for quick questions. An Outfitting is for when you’re ready to really dial in your gear and make the most of your investment—with an expert by your side the entire time.

You’re not just paying for our time—you’re investing in your success. And if you decide to buy gear within a week, that $120 goes right back to you. So really, it's a thoughtful step toward getting it right from the start.

Let's make this fun and easy
