Portraits photography

You deserve to feel beautiful.

You are beautiful!

 

How would it make you feel to see HAPPY and BEAUTIFUL version of yourself?

“I am not photogenic…”, “I am not a model to be photographed…”, “I am too fat/too weird in front of the camera”, “I don‘t need any photos of me”, “I am not good enough to spend money on myself…’, “having pictures of myself? Maybe with my kids but of myself? That is so vein…”.

I have heard all the excuses out there, as these are real words coming from my clients, who eventually purchased minimum of 5 images of themselves. They claimed their worth and I want to teach you how to do that for yourself.

I see your beauty inside and out and will help you to comfortably see it too.

Each session begins with hair and makeup by a professional makeup and hair stylist. Your wardrobe will be carefully selected to achieve the look you desire. This luxurious experience is full of unlimited laughs and pampering, so make sure to book a lunch/dinner or a date, as you will look absolutely fabulous after your beauty photo shoot.

With my posing guidance you will feel totally relaxed and at ease in front of my camera.

You are going to experience incredible, full of love, fun and attention transformational portrait session with me.

Do it for yourself, claim your worth.

“...so far out of my comfort zone it’s unreal. After a rough few years I’ve been struggling to feel good about myself. I came across Paulina, who has a vision of taking photos of women to empower them to find self-love. Here are before and after shots! It was such a great experience, she is a fabulous woman and great at what she does!”

“This session was truly mindful. I have learnt how to let go of my old ways and see myself in a different light. “

- Parinaz -




A little while back Paulina took a lovely picture of me and that picture has changed my life more than I could have ever imagined.
I have that picture in my corridor and every time I walk past that picture I look at it and feel so good about myself. Everytime I see the picture I feel that Paulina really capatured the essence of my beauty and who I am, something I don't always see when I look in the mirror but the picture reminds me of that every time.
The picture itself is in black and white and there's something enchanting about it being colourless that is so attractive and appealing because all you see when you look at the image is the person's soul smiling back at you.
This picture made me feel so empowered personally that I decided to use the same image for my professional counselling profile picture as it shows me in my authentic light which has brought me so many clients. I feel that this is possibly because Paulina captured the totality of who I am as compassionate human being, a wife, a mother,an entrepreneur and a helper.
Through this image clients get to see that too and know what they are getting when they work with me.
This image has changed my life. It has made me appreciate the beauty within me as I see it everyday now and engage with it. It has helped my counselling business flourish and in return helped me change people's lives.
I never knew that when a photographer/artist is able to capture you in the right way, how much of a positive impact that can have on how you feel about yourself and how you spread that positively to others around you. This amazing feeling can only be described as magical.
Thank you Paulina for making my life feel magical.”

How does it work?


Personal Branding

Step 1. Phone or zoom call

During our telephone/zoom call/FaceTime conversation or email exchange, we are going to discuss what photo session you are interested in: boudoir photo session, headshot photo session, glamour, branding photo shoot or corporate'/business. I would like to learn a bit about you (if this is personal shoot) or about your business, if you are looking for branding/headshots or business photo shoot. This is very important for me, as I want to make sure to convey your values, your mission statement and who you are through your images.

Step 2. Wardrobe consultation

I will guide you on what clothing will suit you and your brand. You will find tips in my product guide, which I will send you by email, on what to wear. Together we will decide what works best for you/your brand.

There is an option to request for your photo shoot a professional stylist, who works with me on delivering exclusive styling experience. This includes creating your personal styling mood board, sourcing your outfits and styling you during your unique, personalised photo shoot experience.

Step 4. Photo Shoot experience

Relax and enjoy your photo shoot experience, a glass of wine or simply glass of water, with your favourite song playing in during your photo session. It is my job to teach you how to be photogenic. I am going to walk you step by step through your photo shoot teaching you everything you need to know and do to look your best. You will love it and master posing, facial expressions, and best clothing highlighting your body figure. If you don’t want to take my word for it read my clients’ testimonials here.

Step 5. Reveal of your photos

Two weeks after the shoot, you will come back to the studio or we schedule a zoom call to view your amazing photos. We will select your favourites and you only buy what you love. But you can’t blame me if you love them all, as it would mean I did my job really well.

Step 6. Delivery and Photo Usage

Immediately after your images reveal you will receive your digital photos and you can start using them right away. From updating profile picture on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or even your website to personal enjoyment of your images with your friends and family.

Each digital image you purchase comes with corresponding print. Fine art prints are going to be ready for your collection at least a month from your photo reveal session.


Do you have what it takes to do a Boudoir Portrait Session?

It is most freeing experience I have ever experienced. I had my BOUDOIR SESSION during the quarantine done by myself. I felt so much freedom and empowerment, and sexy like never before. This shoot wasn’t about doing it for somebody else — but purely for my own benefit.

It should be about yourself, to help you realise just how valuable you are.
