Merriam Webster definition of Sisterhood: The true meaning of sisterhood encompasses a deep, mutual connection and support among women, transcending bloodlines. It's a bond of love, respect, and solidarity, where women uplift and empower each other, offering a safe space for emotional growth and shared experiences. Sisterhood is about celebrating each other's triumphs and providing comfort in times of struggle, fostering a sense of belonging and collective strength.
At WGOAA, we don’t just carry—we embody the armed female patriot. And for one day, we’re capturing it in a way no one else does.
This members-only event is about stepping in front of the camera with the same confidence you carry every day. This is your chance to capture the locked and loaded force of nature you truly are.
If you’ve never had a professional shot of yourself armed and absolutely owning it, this is your chance.
The Photoshoot is taking place at a Private Residence and the address will be sent to you after you register.
Wondering what you might be getting into? Take a look at a few of the photos from last year’s photoshoot. The theme was The Armed Female Lifestyle. Everyday clothes were encouraged during this shoot. You can expect music, laughter, as much RBF as you can dish out, and a ton of fun.
Now that we’ve convinced you, the theme for the 2025 photoshoot is The Armed Sisterhood and we are fired up!
Here’s what’s in it for you:
You will need a WGOAA Signature Bomber Jacket to take part in the group photos - if your membership did not come with a jacket, you can purchase one during checkout at a discount.
Other things we love: Statement shirts and hoodies - anything patriotic, female empowerment, or 2A is GREAT!
There will be no live ammunition during this photoshoot at the residence. We realize you will most likely have a loaded gun for personal protection during your travels. So when you arrive, please safely unload and stow all ammunition and only bring in your unloaded firearms.
All firearms will be cleared and inspected by WGOAA staff when you arrive.
You should not attend if any of the following applies to you:
You still in?! YAY!
WGOAA’s mission is to arm and train an additional 1 million women nationwide. This is a feat not to be taken lightly. In modern day times in which everything is on a screen, it’s extremely important to capture strength, ferocity, sisterhood, style, and what a female looks like when she is owning her space in our photographs. A full day just for photos is necessary to capture images that inspire women in this way. The photos are used for social media, advertisements, the WGOAA Dispatch Publication which is placed in ranges nationwide, and throughout other WGOAA materials.
