A luxury portrait experience to capture your strength, beauty and confidence.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, gorgeous and empowered.

We start with a style consultation to design your shoot and plan every detail. We celebrate you and the beautiful person you are now.

I invite you to a luxury magazine-style portrait experience.

The  Experience

As part of your portrait experience, we'll schedule a consultation via Zoom or in-studio to design and plan your photo shoot. During this meeting, we'll go over all the details of the session, such as wardrobe choices, hair and makeup, items to bring, and how to prepare for your special day. You'll leave feeling fully informed and excited for your upcoming session!

Session Design Consultation

01

During your session design consultation, we'll also schedule a style session to help you plan your wardrobe changes for the shoot. This is a crucial part of the process, as it allows us to tailor your outfits to the specific mood and style we're aiming to achieve. You'll have access to our stunning collection of gowns and Italian silk fabrics for draping, ensuring that you look and feel your absolute best. We'll work together to create a cohesive look that complements your personal style and accentuates your best features. By the end of the style session, you'll have a clear idea of the outfits you'll be wearing and feel confident in your choices.

Wardrobe Styling and Studio Wardrobe Access

A professional hair and makeup session is included in most of our packages and the session is designed to bring out your natural beauty to make you look and feel your best. There will be a consultation first to ensure we bring you to whatever level of glam you prefer. This session is highly recommended for stunning portraiture and allows you to start your experience feeling relaxed and pampered.

Luxury Photo  Sessions

One of the most exceptional ways to showcase your authentic self and to remind your loved ones of their importance is to invest in a captivating piece of Wall Art that will embellish the walls of your home. Research has shown that children who grow up seeing photos of themselves displayed in their homes develop higher self-esteem, and this holds true for adults as well. Strolling past a striking enlarged image of yourself, you and your soulmate, your children, or your family, serves as a daily reminder of your inner strength, your connections, and your affection. Nothing feels better than being reminded of how incredible you are. At my studio, you are the artwork, and it's something you should take pride in displaying on your walls at home. Our Wall Art is crafted in Italy and can be customized with a variety of exquisite options.

WALL ART

The 9 Up collection is designed to be 9 of the best or your favourite images from your shoot. Beautifully matted with our archival mats as a stunning piece of art.

Fine Art Albums are available, each one crafted to be a custom design tailored to match your home decor and personal style. During the studio session, we will work together to create a stunning album that will last for generations, using only the finest leathers and textiles sourced from Italy. These albums are heirloom-quality pieces that will be cherished for years to come. Along with coffee table books, they make for a beautiful addition to any home decor, showcasing your favorite images from the session.

FINE ART ALBUMS

Folio Boxes offer a fantastic opportunity to display your stunning images. Every picture is elegantly mounted and matted before being arranged in an exquisite Italian-made Folio Box. Whether it's sitting on a coffee table, a side table, or a bookshelf, this item will enhance any room, and can display images in either portrait or landscape orientation. Folio Boxes are available in two sizes: a more modest size and a larger grand size.
