what does the experience entail ?
This is a portrait experience where the focus is completely on YOU. That is: a woman who is looking to improve her self- image after experiencing personal hardship. I combine portrait photography with guided coaching before and during the shoot. So, how does this experience looks like?
1.
Via a Zoom call we have a PERSONAL CONVERSATION where we one another share our story. We both will open up so that you will feel SAVE to be yourself. We will focus on YOUR NEEDS so we both have an idea how the photo experience will look like.
2.
I believe in connection so a first meeting in person is vital: we will sit down in a coffeeshop while we dive deep into the shoot as we enjoy a cup of coffee/tea together with a slice of crostata/fruit tart or cornetto/croissant. We will focus on REFRAMING YOUR INSECURITIES INTO A POSITIVE FORCE so that you will feel empowered and ready. When you feel ready to shine we will discuss your outfits that you have brought, define the look and feel for our session. It is going to be so much fun!
3.
Now it is time to take your picture. Depending on the package that you have chosen, we will go to 1, 2 or 3 locations. GENTLY I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE POSING and the whole process so that you will feel comfortable, beautiful and secure. From experience I have noticed that the more the woman is relaxed and at ease, the more she can reveal her true self in front of the camera. You are not just my subject that I am taking a photo of. There is a CONNECTION and because of this I can capture your authenticity!
4.
After the photoshoot we will speak about the experience: what did it bring you? I will provide you with some tips and will check in with you in the next days to see how you are feeling. I will reveal in that same day a couple of photos so that you can feel proud and excited for the big reveal!
5.
The big reveal of your Portrait experience. I will send you a link that will lead you to your personal gallery with all the photos of our shoot: YOU MAY MEET YOUR AUTHENTIC BEAUTIFUL SELF! From the comfort of your own home I will ask you to like the photos of your choice. This part is the best of this whole experience since all the women are stunned by how they look like in the photos! I will NOT Photoshop your photos, only if you ask me I will do (and even then) a very light retouch. Because to me it does not need any editing. You are perfect as you are and I want you to see that! You will receive your photos also digitally.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am primarily based in Rome, but I am ready to travel to the other main cities of Italy: Florence, Naples, Palermo, Milano, Bologna etc if that is where you are (holiday or living). Ask me in the Zoom session and we will work it out!
This is totally up to you! In the Zoom call we will discuss what type of location you prefer (a lovely park, beautiful piazza/square, restaurant or even a coffee bar). The possibilities are endless, and I am happy to help you choose.
I speak Dutch, English and basic Italian.
Yes. I want this portrait experience to be accessible to every woman who needs it. I am happy to divide your total into max 6 monthly payments. However, no images will be delivered until payment has been received in full. I charge a session fee of €100 that must be paid on or before the shoot date. I do not offer payment plans for this fee.
It is mostly sunny in Italy and even if it is raining it is mild. Unless it is extremely pouring, I will not reschedule the sessions.
Think about your outfits and make sure to pick something that makes you feel great and alluring but comfortable at the same time. If you have 1 outfit to shoot, better bring 3 so we can decide on the day itself.
Practice some self- care the night before the shoot: nourish yourself with enough water and healthy foods that makes your body happy. Apply your favourite face mask the night before and everything else that makes you feel great!
It is advisable to wear some light make- up as eyeliner and concealer just to enhance your features. Stay make- up free if you feel more comfortable like that.
It is all about making yourself feel good!
I love taking portraits in natural light (because it is so flattering and especially in Italy the light is so divine.
I usually go for a natural look mixed with a dreamy and soft vibe. I like to capture your beautiful authentic self.
