Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I think that I have a unique way of connecting with people, and that connection is reflective through my lens. I have a way of getting them to be their true self, relaxed, so we can have fun together thus great photos can be achieved. I have the greatest opportunity to take a moment in time that is so special to someone and capture it a photograph. My aim is that they will look at that photograph and it will evoke a similar emotion of happiness they felt at the time I took it. Then I know that I've done my job well!

After very little success, I decided to bit the bullet, and get professional help with my headshots. Best decision I have made in a long time! Sylvia was not only extremely reasonable with her rates, but took the time to be creative, and enhance what bwould be best for me, and what I was trying to do. Within 1 mos. of using BellaPhoto, I have landed two movie roles, and stan-in work, including the new Steven Segal movie! Everything was chosen strictly from the work done by Sylvia- Thanks!

I found Sylvia by a small miracle..And I am so happy I did! Not only is she a wonderful photographer but a wonderful person as well! She photographed our wedding with outstanding results! Ourselves as well as our guests were so impressed! I recommend Sylvia to anyone who wants a talented professional to capture their memories.

Sylvia was very professional from the start of working with her for my engagement party photos. She got to my party on time and was very friendly with a crowd of 180 people that last about 4 hours. She took lots of pictures that came out great. One thing which would have improved my experience is if Sylvia was a little more creative with poses during my photo shoot. The lack of creativity and direction during are personal photo shoot made us feel like the pictures were slightly plain. Overall, pictures were great quality and my photo album turned out great. Me and my fiance fell in love with it.

Oh but you were being directed Nour! I find that through conversation during a shoot between my client(s) and I, a bond is created that allows for relaxation, and trust with not just me, but most importantly my lens, and then candid beautiful moments can happen and the true person(s) is captured. I don't believe necessarily in posing people as they get so caught up in the pose, and forget to just be themselves. My creativity also comes from the location or the backdrop, the lighting, I have chosen and it all reflects in the final product. I'm so happy you thought overall the photos were of great quality and fell in love with your photo album! I am using a photo from your engagement shoot as one of my Thumbtack profile shots! I thank you for your comments.

I had such a wonderful experience having my acting head shots done with Bella Photo. Sylvia is patient, kind and the definition of a professional. She really took the time to listen to my needs and went above and beyond my expectations. Her shoot locations were beautiful and really shine through in my finished product. I loved having the option of outdoor/natural lighting or in-studio shots. The editing and turnover time was unbeatable. I was very pleased with the overall experience and would highly recommended her services for any type of photography needs.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    The most typical photo shoots I do for my clients are either weddings, or portraits. Although as I say that, I do have clients that repeatedly book me such as schools, to photograph their proms, which are so much fun! The kids are in a celebratory atmosphere, there's great music playing, they are all dressed up, and that makes for terrific photo opportunities!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    As a customer you should always look for someone who is willing to accommodate your schedule first. Because my business is an artistic one, I rely on my website to provide my customers with a blueprint of my work, however, all of my work is not shown on the website. I have much edgier photos that I show on my FaceBook as I feel that's a different audience. If the customer is looking for a specific style per se, they should ask if there are samples of that style work they could see, as all the work may not always be shown on a website.
