Seven Rubies is taking the camper, the Ram, and the community across the country to meet our founding photographers in person. Studio visits, public meetups, and one hundred new founding members along the way.
The Industry Already Knows Us
Seven Rubies isn’t a startup looking for a foothold. We’ve been on the floor at the biggest names in professional photography, sponsoring awards at the most prestigious shows, and earning recognition from the associations photographers trust. Vendors who join the tour are aligning with a brand the industry is already talking about, from coast to coast and around the world.
Endorsed by AIBP
The Association for International Boudoir Photographers has endorsed Seven Rubies as a trusted directory for luxury boudoir photographers. AIBP’s recognition signals to working photographers everywhere that Seven Rubies meets the bar of the global boudoir community.
Photographers from coast to coast, and around the world, already recognize the name.
The 2026 Mardi Gras Crown
Seven Rubies was founded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the heart of Mardi Gras country. For more than three centuries, our region has celebrated the tradition with its iconic colors, purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power. The 2026 Crown carries that visual language onto the road with us.
Every year, Seven Rubies releases a new commemorative logo. Sponsor merchandise carries the 2026 Mardi Gras Crown across t-shirts, tumblers, lens cloths, wooden nickels, and more. Next year’s edition will be different. The photographers and partners who participate this year hold the only run that bears this mark.
