Downtown Dallas Welcomes "It’s a Selfie Studio" – The Ultimate Destination for Snap-Happy PatronsSource: Google Street View

Downtown Dallas just became home to a fresh attraction for locals and visitors alike – It’s a Selfie Studio. Nestled at 2010 Commerce St., this selfie-centric spot is the brainchild of new Dallasite Doretta Jones, who's traded scissors for snaps in her post-retirement chapter. Jones, a former salon owner with a 26-year career in hairdressing, laid her roots in Dallas last June with big dreams for the perfect selfie sanctuary.

The studio spans a considerable 2,220 square feet and boasts over 20 distinctive photo setups. Offering a variety of themed spaces that vary in color and decor, visitors can find the perfect backdrop for any occasion. From holiday themes to name-brand-inspired setups, and a special graduation space for the class of 2024, there's something for every snapshot enthusiast. And for the artistically inclined? There's a "Paint and Sip" night to unleash creativity while capturing the moment. Not forgetting the four-legged friends, the studio also opens its doors for dog photography sessions on Wednesdays, by appointment only, as stated by The Dallas Express.

Doretta Jones seemed to inject her vibrant energy into every aspect of It’s a Selfie Studio, from decorating the engaging spaces to hosting various events like birthday parties and team-building functions. "I just have a thing for social gatherings. I love just getting friends together and having them enjoy space and time with one another, and I don’t think a lot of people do that," she told The Dallas Express. In her quest to help people create more memories, Jones plans to participate in the Solar Eclipse Weekend with pop-up booths to capture this celestial event.

Jones's studio has taken the selfie game to a new level by providing handheld devices for guests to easily take pictures via Bluetooth. A separate device allows for flexible movement during photo sessions, making for an even smoother experience. Event attendees are allowed to bring their food and drinks, alcohol included, for a festive atmosphere. Keen to spread the good vibes, Jones looks forward to opening a second location in another city. Operating hours are offered throughout the week, and for larger occasions, booking an appointment is recommended. For more information on the selfie packages or to book a visit, interested guests can text "Selfie App" to 719-213-4788 or check out the website, as detailed by Texas Metro News.

Whether you’re a content creator in need of a novel backdrop, a group of friends looking for a memorable outing, or simply someone wanting to capture life’s moments in a unique setting, It’s a Selfie Studio that promises an array of Insta-worthy scenes fit for any occasion. So grab your phone, a couple of pals, and maybe even your dog (as long as it's vaccinated), and get ready to strike a pose in the heart of Downtown Dallas.
