Introduction

Imagine your own luxury photography session where you get the star treatment of a magazine style shoot! I specialize in family, maternity, boudoir, online dating, and social media headshots and portraits. No matter how nervous you are - you will experience a professional photo shoot that is also fun and relaxed - that captures the best version of you! To ensure you get the most out of your shoot, I will advise you about what to wear and how to pose for your professional photo session. I enjoy my work because it has caused me to fall in love with light and see the world around me with fresh eyes every single day. I enjoy my work because I’m able to connect with people from different walks of life, to put them at ease in front of the camera, to capture flattering and creative portraits that tell a story.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Pricing varies on the project and how many hours are involved.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

1. Get to know each other. The conversation usually leads to figuring out of what you are looking for - the style of your shoot and your goals for the final product. 2. Prep time (session location options, wardrobe options, make up and hair concept, etc.) I can help pick the outfits from your wardrobe, or even go shopping with you (for additional price). I can also invite make up artist on the set. 3. Fully guided photoshoot. Where fun and imagination begin! I always coach during your photo session to give you a diverse set of images. I guide you through poses and focus on angles that bring out your most beautiful self. 4. Social media preview. Within 24 hours I send you a link where you can view all of the images from the photo shoot. 5. Editing and post-production. The chosen images by the client are being edited within 7-10 days. For editing, I use a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started my career as a fashion stylist, collaborating with different famous photographers, makeup artists and hair stylists. My work included developing stylish concepts, searching for the right outfits, assisting on the shoots for the commercials and clothing lines, and even shopping in Milan for the clients. At that time I started to take pictures to capture the ideas that were in my mind. Having moved to LA I decided to combine my knowledge in styling and photography to deliver my clients luxury photo sessions with classy and stylish images.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Any of the listed types of photographer relating. But mostly I do portraits of any calibre from business to models/actors. Many of my images are captured outdoors resulting in a journalistic feel that works off natural light and the natural beauty of my clients.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Provide as many details about photography service as needed: Is there minimum number of photos you want to be shot? What style are you looking for? How you’d like to be photographed: glamorous, classic, professional, casual, sexy. If outdoor, on location what scene sounds best (beach, city park, downtown)?
