We had a wonderful experience with Luciana! She was very patient with our family of four and scheduling an outdoor shoot around the weather and the best natural light. She patiently walked us through the entire process, and now we have beautiful family photos on the walls, as well as senior portraits for our daughter. Thank you for everything, Luciana!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Luciana for several years in many different capacities, including event photography and professional headshots, and she is always wonderful to work with! Most recently, my organization hired Luciana to take headshots for several members of our team, and the entire process was incredibly easy and convenient. She came directly to our office, which made scheduling a breeze, but we also had the option of sending staff to her studio. I especially love that flexibility — if someone needs a headshot in the future, I can simply schedule them to visit her studio. Our staff members were absolutely thrilled with their photos! Luciana has a way of making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it shows in the finished product. As always, Luciana was professional, fun, easy to work with, and delivered beautiful photos. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for professional headshots, event photography, or a photographer who makes the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish!

I can’t recommend her highly enough! We just had the magical Santa experience, and everything completely exceeded my expectations! What an outstanding photographer, she is so professional and totally goes above and beyond for her customers. I reached out to Luciana with a last minute request to reschedule my Christmas photoshooting session, she not only accommodated my request but also drove all the way to my location to give the Christmas letters to ensure my kiddos would read them in advance (and they were such high quality with super fancy stamps and personalized letter for each kid). When we arrived, everything was so well organized, the experience to have a nice conversation with Santa for 45 minutes was wonderful for my kids (she is already asking to go back tomorrow again). Luciana was great with directing the scenes, and was very patient. Totally recommend this session to everyone and I will make sure to book mine for next year too. Simply Wonderful!
