She may not be what she may seem
She may be the song that summer sings
She may be the mirror of my dreams
She may be the face I can't forget
She may be the beauty or the beast

FAQ
For a 2,5 hour shoot, I deliver over 50 images on average, for online viewing and picking with selected images duplicated in black and white.
I will be renting a photo studio in Manhattan and in Astoria Queens county, NY so you can book a session in the studio, or if you choose a branding package, we can discuss your preferred location for the photo session.
Approximately 2 weeks. Rush services are available. Digital images are fully retouched, high resolution, delivered to your email, by downloading. No watermarks. Full usage.
Absolutely! Additional photos from your shoot can always be purchased for $50 each. Other products include keepsake books and prints.
Absolutely! write me an email, let me know all your wishes and I will create a package just for you
Yes, I do. All images will be retouched and enhanced and color corrected. That includes the general removal of blemishes, spots, stretch marks, and some skin smoothing.
We will talk about the payment on our Zoom call before the shooting but I accept all major Credit cards, PayPal or cash.
Makeup and hair style for the session is included with all of my shoots. I tend to favuor a smokey-eyed, sultry look but I can tailor your look to suit your preference – taking into consideration your age, skin tone and hair color. Feel free to consult with me should you have the desired look you prefer. For hair style I usually form shaping your hair with with a hot iron to gain some volume and than form it and shape it with my fingers . Alternatively, arrive with your hair already styled like you want.
A good night’s rest, be hydrated and moisturized. Wear loose-fitting clothing to the shoot to minimize skin marks. Bring a great attitude and be ready to have fun! We send you a prep email beforehand too.
Bring what makes you feel sexy or comfortable and what fits your figure best. That may be several different pieces, so bring them all. For boudoir, we recommend a dark and light set of bras & panties as they tend to photograph well against different backdrops and are good to have on standby to change things up. Other items aside from lingerie might be your favorite skinny jeans, a form-fitting tee, or favorite blouse — matched with a pair of heels and little else we can create some amazingly sexy looks. Whatever you bring, we’ll be on hand to give you our recommendations. For Glamour portraits it’s good to have a few options, something casual, something colorful, something dressy. Bring what fits you best and you like to wear. And don’t forget accessories! For the photographs, monochromatic outfits work the best. If you choose prints like flowers, they should be larger in size.
A monochromatic outfit is a look made up of one color or shades of the same color, it means wearing separates of one color that have different textures and/or similar shades of that color for an overall tonal look.
I have several different sets of backdrops including a couch, elegant chair, upholstered bench and in every session, I use several sets to get a larger set of different photos to choose from.
I am happy to shoot on location, contact me, let’s talk about it first.
Don’t worry! This is completely normal! I don’t expect you to know what to do – I’ll guide you through everything so we get photos that feel natural and real – not stiff and posed.
We all have those areas we’d like to improve, and even models need retouching. That’s to say, don’t sweat it. We won’t focus on those areas, with correct posing we’ll truly accentuate your natural assets.
You just need to click on the link here for us to start planning the process! You’ll be able to choose a date so we can talk on Zoom about all the details. My sessions are available in NYC from March 24th to April 1st, 2022.
