Pauline in a Pose

The lovely Pauline N. taking beauty to a whole new level during our shoot on the streets here in Valencia. I met Pauline when a group of us visited a local art gallery where she works. She was very friendly and kind as she talked to us about the works on display, and I couldn’t get over her amazing face. I returned a couple of days later to awkwardly ask her if she would allow me to photograph her. Thankfully, she said yes :). Thank you so much for working with me, Pauline!

On the Grid

The stunning Sophie Wester gracing the space in front of my lens at the City of Arts & Sciences. This location is a very popular place for photographers who want to capture the amazing architecture here. Me, I search for elements that get overlooked, like this grid gate to the gardens there. Of course, you can place Sophie pretty much anywhere, and she’ll shine, but I do like how this grid frames her in this image.

Serious Sonia

I love how Sonia can turn on the drama and make this walk across is the floor into a dramatic scene. Here she’s tossing the excess wrap of the dress so that it floats beside her as she walks (the fabric comes from where it wraps around her neck).

Thanks to Atelier Anna for the amazing dress!

Lovely Polina

Classic, low-key, beauty style portrait with the classic beauty that is Polina. She truly understands how to make herself look best in front of the camera. And those amazing eyes are almost impossible to look away from 🙂

Karina’s looking right through you in this shot from our recent studio session. I’m always impressed when reviewing the images from this day at how she combines beauty, elegance, and intensity to create magic in front of the camera.

True Blue Drue

Drue lighting up this space on the streets of Valencia during our recent session. I really like how the blues, blacks, and whites work together to frame here in this shot.

Lovely Eliana

Eli’s simply stunning in this red dress, and her connection to the camera here completes the bold look here. This was my first time shooting with Eliana, but not the last. We’ll be shooting together in November 🙂
