Male-to-Female Makeover Services near Washington, DC
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Taylor, and I love my job! Since 2013, I’ve been offering male-to-female makeovers, professional photography, bridal and fantasy feminization sessions, lingerie and boudoir photoshoots, accompanied outings en femme, and feminine coaching. My private makeover studio is located in LGBTQ+-friendly Takoma Park, Maryland — minutes from Washington, DC.
I work full-time with transgender women, MtF crossdressers, and genderfluid people with a femme presentation, from nervous first-timers to experienced clients who come back again and again. Whether you’re dreaming of a few hours in girl mode or a full day living as your authentic self in the DC metro area, I’m here to make it happen.
The Male-to-Female Transformation Experience at My Takoma Park, Maryland Studio
I want to share with you how I treat male-to-female transformations, makeovers, photography, and your experience with me. When you arrive, I greet you and get you settled in. We talk about what you’re looking for in your total makeover and photoshoot. I listen to what you have to say and make suggestions on how we can achieve the overall image you’d like to project. And then we’ll have a look at clothing, wigs, and whatever else you brought.
The MtF Transformation Process
For your total makeover, I start with wardrobing and measuring you so that we can decide on your shapewear and clothing style strategy. I’ll record your measurements and projected sizes on my sizing chart that you can take with you. Then we will decide on a first outfit, wig, shoes, and jewelry. Wardrobing usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.
After you’re dressed, I will apply your makeup after reviewing what you’re looking for including any screenshots you may have brought. Makeup usually takes about 90 minutes. Then it’s time for the reveal in the full-length mirror! I love seeing how happy people are when they see themselves as a woman for the first time!
After your transformation is complete, we will take photos in my studio and in my garden or on the back deck if desired. I use strobe photography and shoot with a Nikon Z6 Mark II mirrorless camera. In a three hour total makeover and photoshoot, we will have about 30 minutes for me to take photos of your look. With a four hour or longer total makeover package, we will have 90 minutes for photos and any outfit changes.
You’ll have the option of leaving with an SD card of your RAW and JPEG images or receiving a WeTransfer link so you can download your photos in the next 60 days. To protect your privacy, I do not keep or post any of your photos without a signed model release.
After the session, you’ll have time to change back into your own clothes and remove makeup if desired.
Connecting you with Community
I love getting to know my clients and sharing our experiences with each other. Making new friends and connecting you with a supportive community is one of the best parts of my job. And I love helping my clients make new friends with other MtF crossdressers, trans-women, and allies at trans-friendly events, online groups, and venues.
That being said, I want my closeted clients to leave closeted so I’m just as thorough with protecting your privacy. I want you to look and feel beautiful, confident and pampered. To being fabulous, ladies!
Clients travel to my Takoma Park, Maryland studio from across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond — from Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Whether you’re local or making a special trip, I’ll help you feel welcome, beautiful, and connected.
Is this your first male-to-female transformation? Here’s Where to Start
Lots of girls come to me with little to no experience with dressing. Some have lots of clothes while others have none. I have everything you need for a male-to-female transformation: wigs, shoes, bras, breastforms, clothing, shapewear, jewelry, accessories, makeup, etc. My studio has clothes from size 4 to size 4X and shoes from size 8 to size 15. Please bring nylons/stockings/garter belts if you’d like to wear legwear other than nearly opaque tights. Bring your shaving kit so you can touch up your shave if needed.

The recommendations below are just suggestions. Some people are ready for a three day, total immersion experience such as my Weekender Packages from the beginning while others may prefer to always have private makeovers without outings.
Your First MtF Transformation: Build your Confidence in my Discreet Studio
For your first package, I recommend the 3-hour or 4-hour Total Makeover so you can see how you look in femme mode. Then you’ll have time to enjoy the experience with either a 30-minute or 90-min photo shoot or, if you prefer, girl chat or feminine deportment training. This will help you build your confidence and learn more about how you like to express your femininity.
If you’re coming from far away, you may prefer a longer package. Outings are always optional so feel free to book a longer session even if you’re not ready to go out into the world.
Your Second Makeover: Conquer the Outside World
For your next package, I recommend a 5-hour or 6-hour Total Makeover and Outing so you can try another look, pose for more photos, and experience interacting with others in a public setting. We will be together, and I’ll suggest places that are trans-friendly such as downtown Takoma Park or Freddie’s Beach Bar in Arlington, Virginia.
Ready to Go Deeper? Full-Day and Multi-Day Transgender Immersion Experiences
Many clients reach their second or third makeover and realize they want more than a few hours — they want a full day, or even a whole weekend, to live completely as themselves. If that’s you, I offer immersive experiences designed specifically for that journey.
The Full-Day Transgender Immersion Experience
My 8 to 12-hour Full-Day Total Immersion packages are designed for clients who want to spend an entire day living en femme in the Washington, DC metro area. We start at my Takoma Park, Maryland studio with 3 to 4 hours of wardrobing, makeup, and photography. Then we head out together based on your interests.
Shopping, museum visits, fine dining, LGBTQ+-friendly bars and clubs, state or national parks — we plan your day around what matters most to you. I’ll guide you through trans-friendly spaces across the DC metro area, from downtown Takoma Park and Georgetown to Old Town Alexandria and beyond. You’ll be my only client for the day, and we can adjust the start and end times to fit your itinerary. Because you’ll have the full day, most clients traveling from out of state book a nearby hotel the night before so they can arrive relaxed and ready.

Weekender and Multi-Day Packages
For those who want to go even further, I offer Weekender packages spanning two or three days. A multi-day experience gives you time for a makeup lesson, multiple makeovers and outfit changes, shopping for your own feminine wardrobe, and extended outings — all while building real confidence and skills you can take home with you. Some clients use their Weekender to take their first steps toward a more open feminine life; others come simply to enjoy an extended escape. Either way, there’s no rush, and we can build the experience around what you need. Contact me to discuss a custom multi-day package.

Build on your Success: Makeup Lessons, Feminine Coaching, and Wardrobe Shopping for Crossdressers and Trans Women
So you’ve had a male-to-female transformation and maybe an outing, and you know you love being in girl mode! Consider learning how to transform yourself with a makeup lesson and shopping outing.
If you prefer to have me do the transformation for you, that’s great too! Continue booking total makeovers and makeup makeovers. I’d love to continue seeing you!
Learn to Transform Yourself: Take a Makeup Lesson
So you’ll want to book a 3-hour makeup lesson. At the makeup lesson, you will learn how to do a full face of makeup including beard shadow coverage, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, foundation, blush, contouring, and lips. If it’s your first makeup lesson, expect to learn an easier look that involves up to three eyeshadow colors. This can be a daytime look, a daytime-to-evening look, or a smokey eye.
I do the makeup on half your face and you apply it on the other. You’ll receive written, step-by-step makeup notes that list the products and colors we used. I also have an eye and face map where we can draw your look if desired. As a MAC Pro Makeup Artist, I primarily use MAC makeup.
At follow-up makeup lessons, you have several options. You can learn another makeup look. You can do your whole face of makeup while I watch and give you feedback. Or you can arrive with your makeup already applied and I can analyze your work and show you areas for improvement. I’ll touch up one side of your face while you do the other side.
Refine your Feminine Mannerisms
At any point, feel free to add on feminine deportment training where we focus on your feminine movements for an entire hour. We will focus on your walk, how to sit, how to carry a purse, and how to interact with others in public spaces. Otherwise, I can integrate tips into our other sessions.
Shop for a Feminine Wardrobe In-Person or Online
After your first outing, you’ll likely want to build your feminine wardrobe so you can go out on your own. Shopping is always more fun with a friend so take me along for a good time and to help you find the sizes, styles and looks that fit your personality and body type. Book a 5-hour or 6-hour Total Makeover and Outing or longer and I’ll do your makeup first and you can use my studio wardrobe for our shopping adventure.
I’ll help you select items that you like and work with the sales associates on your behalf. If you’re wig shopping, I definitely suggest going with makeup on. It’s so much easier to tell whether a wig is flattering when you have your face feminized with makeup.
If you prefer, we can stay in the makeover studio to build your wardrobe and makeup collection online. We will go step-by-step through the suggested shapewear for your goals, preferred clothing styles, and wig options. From the makeup list provided during one of your makeovers, we can shop for the desired products online and have them shipped to you.
Pamper Yourself Anytime
Feel free to come back for more Total Makeovers and Photoshoots to show off your wardrobe, play with the studio wardrobe, and try out new makeup looks. Get a Makeup Makeover before a night out or before a shopping trip with a friend. I’m here to support you and help you connect with our community.
Explore Fantasy Feminization
If you’ve ever dreamed of a session that goes beyond a standard makeover — a forced femme scenario, a crossdresser bondage predicament, a sissy maid fantasy, a bridal transformation, a lingerie or boudoir photoshoot, or a bespoke role-play experience — I offer fully custom fantasy feminization sessions for clients who are ready to explore. These sessions are imaginative, collaborative, and completely private. We design the scenario together in advance. During your fantasy feminization session, I will apply your makeup and transform you with your wardrobe or mine. Photography and role-play are often included but are both optional; some prefer just to role play while others just want photos.
Fantasy feminization sessions require a 67% deposit at booking and are available in 3-hour and longer packages. Explore the fantasy feminization portfolio →
Book your session online — please contact me first to discuss your vision.
Can’t make it to the studio? Virtual fantasy texting and phone sessions are available for clients who prefer to explore their fantasies from home — no travel required and no need to discuss with me prior to booking!
