About

Voluptuary Media, LLC. has been around for 20+ years. Our core values center around shooting people who are natural looking and have a casual vibe about themselves. Self-confidence is one important attribute for a model, but we tend to deviate away from the divas and prima donnas. We are ALWAYS respectful, fair and professional and we like to have fun while we shoot! :-)

Our primary photographer and owner is Michael Laudini. He was formally trained in photography at Loyola University Chicago, earning a BA in Studio Art w/ emphasis in Photography. Michael’s work has been published, appearing in calendars and magazines like Playboy, for example. Some of his work has been instrumental in helping models get selected for the hit show America’s Next Top Model (ANTM). Michael lives in California and is happily married with two children - girls 15 and 11.

Voluptuary Media, LLC would like to take a moment and thank all the models, staff and sponsors for putting in a concerted effort to produce this stunning calendar. Waking up at 3:45am for six days straight was NOT fun but we all had a job to do and for an amazing cause - raising funds for the fight against Breast Cancer. No project goes exactly as planned and this one was not immune. We experienced camera equipment failure (backup to the rescue!), high humidity that produced fogging lenses, our hairstylist canceled last minute and unfortunately a sponsor backed out too. Although these things caused some stress, we’re accustomed to rolling along and just making adjustments as we go. :-)
