THE STORY BEHIND SIBABES
Our Story
From Nightlife Photography to Celebrating the Women Who Make the Industry.
Every brand has a beginning. Ours started with a camera, a love for nightlife, and an appreciation for the people who make the experience unforgettable.
What began as photographing the energy of bars and nightlife venues eventually became something more meaningful: a platform dedicated to recognizing the women who bring the service industry to life.
This is our journey.

Where It All Began
The VoodooCru Years | Houma, Louisiana
Before SIBABES, there was VoodooCru.
Founded in 2010 in Houma, Louisiana, VoodooCru was a nightlife photography venture capturing the energy, personalities, and unforgettable moments of the local scene.
For five years, we photographed bars, nightlife venues, and the people who made them special.
But somewhere along the way, we began noticing something beyond the nightlife itself: the bartenders, servers, and hospitality professionals whose personalities and hard work kept everything moving.
Those years gave us a deeper appreciation for the service industry—and planted the seed for what would eventually become SIBABES.

SIBABES Is Born
A New Vision | Orlando, Florida
After returning to Orlando, Florida, we wanted to create something different.
Instead of simply photographing nightlife, we wanted to shine the spotlight on the women behind it.
Service Industry Babes—SIBABES—was born in 2015.
With a new name, website, and social media presence, we began visiting local sports bars, restaurants, and nightlife venues, including WingHouse, Hooters, Twin Peaks, and neighborhood favorites.
Our first SIBABES photograph marked the beginning of a new chapter.
The focus was no longer just on where people went out. It was about the bartenders, servers, VIP hosts, and women whose energy, dedication, and personalities made those places worth visiting.
The faces behind the experience became our story.

Beyond the Bar
New Cities. New Events. New Experiences.
As SIBABES grew, so did our adventures.
We began expanding beyond Orlando, traveling to other cities and covering larger events, including Daytona Bike Week.
From motorcycle rallies and nightlife celebrations to fashion shows and special events, every new experience introduced us to more incredible women and new communities.
What started inside local bars was becoming a growing collection of faces, experiences, and stories from across the industry.

A New Creative Chapter
The Birth of SIBABES Studios
After years of capturing candid moments inside bars, clubs, and events, we wanted to take our photography further.
In 2017, we invested in professional studio equipment and introduced SIBABES Studios.
This opened the door to more creative photoshoots, professional portraits, styled sessions, and collaborations with women we had met throughout our journey.
The studio gave us the freedom to create images beyond the nightlife setting while continuing to celebrate the personalities and individuality of our subjects.
It wasn't a departure from our roots. It was another way to tell their stories.

The Faces of Nightlife
Back Behind the Bar
Even as our studio photography evolved, nightlife remained at the heart of SIBABES.
In 2020, we continued extensively photographing bartenders, servers, and other women working throughout the nightlife scene.
These weren't simply pictures of people at work. They were snapshots of the personalities, confidence, friendships, and experiences that make the service industry such a unique community.
Through the years, our cameras have captured countless moments—and behind each photograph is a person with a story of her own.

The Next Chapter
More Than Photos. More Than Nightlife.
Today, SIBABES is evolving once again.
Our roots will always be in nightlife photography, but our vision reaches beyond the camera.
We're building a space where women in the service industry can be seen, celebrated, and heard—through featured profiles, personal stories, interviews, industry insights, and original photography.
And we're taking that mission even further through our partnership with Sit With Me, an app built for the service industry that helps professionals take greater control of their tips.
It's a partnership that reflects what SIBABES has always believed: the people who make the service industry special deserve recognition, opportunity, and tools that support their success.
From bartenders and servers to dancers, VIP hosts, and the many personalities who shape the industry, we want to share more than just a beautiful photograph.
We want to share the person behind it.
Our history is built on the people we've met, the places we've visited, and the memories we've captured along the way.
And after all these years, we're still just getting started.
Every Face Has a Story.
We'd Love to Tell Yours.
Whether you've been part of the industry for years or you're just beginning your journey, SIBABES is a place to share your experience and celebrate what makes you unique.
