About Us
Pearlescent Portraits is an all female creative team dedicated to designing heirloom artwork of you and your family and providing a memorable experience that showcases you.
Portraits are the souvenir of a remarkable family event.
The beauty is in the details. Every family, every High School Senior and every couple is unique, so your portraits shouldn’t look the same.
We take the time to plan a portrait experience that tells your story… the location, the wardrobe, the props, the season, the hair and makeup, and the mood.
Let us suggest incredible locations in Central Ohio or around the world, supply you with wardrobe (or use your own), arrange professional on-site hair & makeup services, and orchestrate a concept that displays your personality and showcases exactly who you are today.
Jean Glagola
Jean is the founder and owner of Pearlescent Portraits, Adored Boudoir Photography and Capow! Columbus. She fell in love with photography in High School and pursued her craft further at Jersey City State College (now New Jersey University). Pearlescent Photo began in 2000 specializing in boudoir and women, but quickly grew to include all genres of photography. Pearlescent Portraits believes a photo shoot is far more than photographs – It is a personalized luxury experience that results in not only portraits but fond memories.
