Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I took a long break from Thumbtack's platform and now I'm back . I'm a New York based Photographer, & Fashion Designer. Having a background in fashion and photography has opened up many amazing opportunities for me. I've been published, and featured with amazing publications and companies that I doubt would have ever happened if I didn't utilize my artistic gifts. I really enjoy my one-on-one's with my customers. I make sure that my clients have fun and are comfortable, so it's more like I'm with a friend than a stranger that's just a client. I'm looking forward to seeing the opportunities that arise through Thumbtack,and the connections that will be made as well. Photography: Photography has been a love of mines for years. I love capturing precious moments and working on fashion editorials. Shooting outdoors is a plus for me because the opportunities are endless (location wise, Space, using what's around you as props etc.). Shooting in the studio opens up a different avenue of creativity because a photo can be made amazing when you play around with lighting. Photography allows me to tell a story and even create moods. There's nothing more wonderful than being made immortal (figuratively speaking), through a photo.

I am a makeup artist and have worked with Diaja on many projects. Her styling, fashion designs and creative ideas have always gotten our work into fashion print editorials. She is very stylish and knowledgeable with the latest fashion trends or working with her clients to create their ideal look. I highly recommend her to any person looking to revamp their wardrobe, need looks for a video production or photo shoot or for any occasion. She will make you stand out and shine for your event.

Diaja and I shot an editorial for her line "Body by Diaja". She was very through with the set up of the shoot, styling and gave great direction as we shot all while being really friendly, which is a fabulous first impression. I 100% look forward to working with her again.

Working with the creative director of DIAJA was a great experience. She kept the environment very relaxed and gave feedback to both the photographer and model during the photoshoot that I sat in on. I hope to work with her again in the future.

I had a wonderful opportunity being a model for DIAJA. I must say that I had an amazing time collabrating for the brand. I believe Ceres is confident, innovative, and an intellectual individual who has grown her brand over the years. With her unique, contemporary fashion designs and great photography skills, Ceres can run the world! I love how my photos came out so captivating and fresh. Overall, I had an awesome experience working with Ceres and hope to be part of DIAJA in the future!
