FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always find it helpful to meet before a session to get to know each other and to achieve what client wants out of their images.

Introduction
I've been working as a photographer for more than eight years. I primarily focus on portrait and fashion photography.
But beyond my technical skills and artistic vision, what truly drives me as a portrait photographer is the ability to capture the essence of my subjects. Everyone has a unique story and beauty within them, and my goal is to showcase that through my photography. I love working with people and create a confortable and relax environment where their true selves can shine through.

Manuela was a great find! She took fantastic senior photos of my son, who isn’t big on having his picture taken. She spent the right amount of time with us, put him at ease, and he really enjoyed talking with her during the photoshoot. She even brought an assistant to help with lighting since the shoot landed on an overcast day. Manuela was responsive and timely throughout the whole process - from initial scheduling to final editing - and we got just the photos we were looking for.
Details: Graduation portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc.

Manuela was great to work with on a corporate head shot photo shoot. She was efficient and easy to talk to. We got the shots we needed quickly and she sent me the proofs soon thereafter, all the while very conscious of my timeline and needs. Would definitely work with her again!
