One of my favorites from my recent, and first, session with Esperanza. Wrapped in soft light, as well as clothes and accessories from Kinnara Valencia, she sets a lovely and mood and feel to this shot.

Another favorite from my “portrait noir” shoot with the amazing Nikola. She’s so lovely and expressive, and just perfect for this series.

Sigrid’s simply stunning in this favorite from our shoot at Palau de Musica. Here she’s “double-lit” with the setting sun over her right shoulder and the reflection of the sun lighting her from behind camera left.

Simple studio portrait of the beautiful Naiara. An example of “less is more” as this two-light setup keeps the lighting simple and it let’s Naiara’s lovely face (and hair!) be the focus of attention.

Marina displaying a wonderful connection to the camera in this shot from our recent session on the streets of Valencia. I love her “just right” amount of smile here as well as how the background and light all works so well here.

Shining brightly in the night, Mariia looks so striking this nighttime street portrait. I absolutely love the look she has here with a stare that goes right through you.

Alexia’s back today with another favorite from our session by the public library. This area offers some great spaces for shooting outside and the rich color of this door made for nice backdrop for some close-ups of Alexia’s lovely face.

Visiting my first session with the lovely Anna Gil Mast here in Valencia. Two years and several shoots later, I’m still amazed by her talent, beauty, and chill vibe.
