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.

Victoria ‘hit it out of the park’. Our photographer canceled on us the day before a small event. I decided to check thumbtack and sure enough she happens to have some availability last minute. Victoria was very responsive. She arrived 15 minutes early. She was exceptional with the guests and our son. She was able to capture beautiful photos that look natural and perfectly timed. We couldn’t be an happier with the results and we will definitely be calling Victoria again.

Victoria did an excellent job capturing my daughter's prom send off. She has a special gift & she enjoys what she does. Not only was she the photographer, she also stepped in to assist with my daughter's dress & pinning the corsage. She's very creative & while she's shooting one pose she already has the next in mind. The video she made while my daughter was getting dressed brought my daughter to tears. I would definitely recommend her & will hire her for our next event. Thank You Victoria! Sincerely, Christine

Victoria has an exceptional eye for shooting photos, her perception to shoot stunning photos comes with experience. She demonstrated how pose, great locations to shoot at, what outfits look best, color combinations, alternative wardrobe, and she is able to scout locations and develop a game plan, complete with potential areas to shoot photos at in a strategic way. Victoria will make you feel comfortable and at ease, what I liked is that she would bring out your natural self when shooting photos rather than shooting photos that feel forced. From the very beginning she took great care in planning all of the details, keeping me informed on any updates leading up to our session. I highly recommend Victoria to take your photoshoot, looking forward to working with Victoria again for future projects.

FAQs

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.
