This summer, Sorena A. Photography had the privilege of partnering once again with visionary entrepreneur Lillie Mae, founder of the Glambitious brand, to document her sold-out Glambitious Brunch during Essence Festival 2025.
Held in the heart of New Orleans, this unforgettable event brought together a dynamic group of women entrepreneurs, speakers, and influencers, all drawn to Lillie Mae’s powerful message of faith, strategy, and visibility.
As the creative partner and photographer for the brunch, our focus was on telling the story of the day through thoughtful, authentic imagery. From candid moments of connection to the energy of the speaker panels and the elegance of the all-white theme, every frame was designed to capture the spirit of empowerment that filled the room.
This feature in Upscale Magazine’s online story on Lillie Mae and the Glambitious Brunch is one of many highlights in a long-standing commitment to celebrating stories of excellence and impact. Upscale, a national publication based in Atlanta, has long been dedicated to showcasing Black culture, entrepreneurship, and achievement, making this collaboration a natural fit.
