What a treasured memory for my daughter! We had the fairy session. There was dress up, fun poses, and even a cute gift. The entire process was so simple and easy. Luciana even helped arrange one part of a photo I loved with the pose of another. Absolutely magical!

As someone who has never gotten a photo shoot, she was super kind and I really felt comfortable while taking the photos. The product she delivered was more than my expectation and she perfectly executed my requests when asked. Luciana is very charming, a hard worker and generally it was a wonderful experience for me. Although it was my first time, I lost my nervousness within minutes and I felt kinda cool later during the shoot.
The overall shoot was incredible and one of the most laid back things I've done all year, especially considering it was my first. I would 100% recommend for any first timers or anyone else who wants a quality result!

We had the most wonderful Santa experience today. It was magical from the first minute to the last. Santa was amazing and very realistic he looked like what you would think Santa would be. Mrs. Clause and Luciana the photographer we're also wonderful. Everyone was very patient while my little one was being shy and needed an extra few minutes. My boys really had an amazing experience with Santa and learned some of his secrets!
I was also very impressed with how much the Santa remembered the information from the questionnaire it really added to the magic that he knew about their Interests and more. I highly recommend. I'm so glad we did this experience and we all have this memory for a life time.

Luciana is an amazing photographer and she was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She is professional, charming and responsive. During the photo shoot, she provided me with the guidance each step of the way. She provided me with a variety of headshots to choose from. My professional headshot has received several compliments thus far. I look forward to working with Luciana again in the future, and I highly recommend her services.

We recently worked with Luciana for professional portraits, for the company web site. Admittedly, we are not the most photogenic group. It's not easy to create a natural smile on demand. To our surprise, the photos came out superb. She knew how to work with us in getting great photos from everyone. Additionally, she was very responsive in answering questions in advance, making the arrangements, giving us advice on what to wear and otherwise how to prepare. She was also fun to work with during the "shoot". Without question, two thumbs up!

This was our second year participating in the Halloween mini session that Luciana does and it has become a family favorite! Luciana is so warm, professional, fun and knows just how to interact with the children to get beautiful photos. I love that Luciana's photos truly capture the personality of the children and that she knows just how to balance instructing them on how to pose for photos while also allowing them to be themselves. I highly recommend Luciana. Her turn around time and editing was also very fast!

I had an amazing experience with Luciana. She took the time to listen to what I was looking for, and took the time to ensure I was comfortable. Coming into this, I didn't think there would be enough time to get the types of photos I wanted, however, Luciana provided me with all the time I needed, and it was a great experience. The pictures also came out amazing!

We so enjoyed our experience with Luciana and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful quality photos! From the pre-shoot phone call discuss our thoughts for the shoot, to the beautiful location, to walking us through ordering and choosing the best photos and value for our needs, Luciana goes above and beyond to give a great experience and a great product! She was so responsive and even was able to accommodate a scheduling conflict at the last minute. Thanks to her we have some incredible family memories that will last a lifetime. We could not be more satisfied with her skill, knowledge, and customer service!

We were (are) so thrilled to work with Luciana for our daughter's Santa Experience photos. They came out amazing, which is saying something because it is so challenging to capture a natural smile on my daughter. We stopped ordering school pics because of this. But the photos Luciana took captured the natural joy of a child. We can't wait to schedule our family session with her after the new year.

Luciana was very professional throughout my session and listened very attentively to the goals i had. I had a half hour booked and she was very generous with her time as we went at least an hour or more until we got it right. The headshots came out great and I would highly recommend Luciana to anyone.

My wife and I hired Luciana for maternity and new born shoot. We had a pleasant experience working with her. She is patient and listened to all of our ideas and tried her best to accommodate all of them. The way she handled our baby girl for the new born shoot was top notch. Very thorough and professional. We highly recommend Luciana for any of your photography needs. Keep up the good work Luciana!

We worked with Luciana for my newborn's first photo shoot and boy did she hit it out of the park. Not only is she extremely professional, but the amount of patience she has with a fussy newborn is unparalleled. We received our photos about a week later and just like her professionalism, her product also exceeded expectations. She captured such beautiful moments - we can't thank her enough!
