Arnel was wonderful to work with during our quick visit to Paris. He responded quickly, suggested our location, provided great guidance during our shoot, and delivered stunning photos of our family. Can’t wait to print our photos so we can showcase them in our house and enjoy them for years to come.-MeghanView Photographer profile
My husband & I like to have photos from our travels as souvenirs! Daria was wonderful, capturing us with the iconic Eiffel Tower as the backdrop! She was extremely easy to work with & was able to catch just what I was hoping for! I highly recommend enjoying a photo shoot with her. It was one of the highlights of our trip!-ReneView Photographer profile
Wonderful pictures! Beautiful memories captured by Eny! She communicates regularly and is easy to work with. She was so patient with my toddler and accommodating of our timing requests. I highly recommend her!!!-AmitaView Photographer profile
My partner and I recently worked with Arnel for vacation photos while visiting Paris. Arnel was a great photographer and amazing to work with. He’s very personable and easygoing, which made us feel comfortable during the shoot.

Typically when we take selfies, we get weird angles, or look stiff, so with Arnel providing us with excellent directions, we were able to get better shots than we would alone.

The results from our photos turned out beautifully. There were some sort of photoshoots already taking place when we arrived, but luckily Arnel was able to remove them from our final photos.

He has a great vision and again is very easy to work with, so I would highly recommend him.-ChadView Photographer profile

We can’t get enough of Lake Como! So many places and things to do that we need to get picky and choose the best of the best. And one of our favorite spots is Bellagio. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Bellagio is small and compact. Many of the roads are pedestrian-only, perfect for strolling and exploring. That’s why walking will show you everything you need to see. ⁣
⁣
But to keep things interesting, here are some of the top things to do in Bellagio: ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
📍Go to the viewpoint on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi and get the best view of Bellagio. ⁣⁣
📍Visit the Basilica of San Giacomo⁣⁣
📍Stroll in the Melzi Gardens⁣⁣
📍Catch the view of Menaggio, Varenna, and numerous other towns from Punta Spartivento⁣⁣
📍Visit the fishing villa of Pescallo⁣⁣
📍Go for a swim at the Lido de Bellagio⁣⁣
📍Take a boat tour of Lake Como⁣

Hi, beautiful mom-to-be! That bump deserves to be captured and celebrated . . . on your babymoon! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Let’s plan a photoshoot during your babymoon, where you will feel more relaxed and at a beautiful destination. But when is it the best time to do it? ⁣
⁣
Most pregnant ladies choose to do their babymoon photoshoot between weeks 28 and 36 because the belly has a nice round shape, and they still feel comfortable enough to do the shoot. But the sweet spot is at week 30. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Just keep in mind that every pregnancy is different, so watch how your body develops and make your photoshoot decision accordingly.⁣

A vacation photo shoot is not only great for the photos you’ll get at the end, but also for the memories and new friends you make along the way: ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“Sara was truly fantastic. These photos were booked months in advance, and in the meantime, my boyfriend turned into my fiancé.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
She was willing to do a mixture of couples photos and engagement photos. She helped me choose outfits in colors that would photograph best on the beach and was incredibly responsive when I had questions or concerns.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Once we got here, we had to watch the weather due to Hurricane Idalia, and she even reached out to change the night of our shoot to avoid rain twice!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We ended up having a gorgeous day (with a rainbow and everything!!!), and our pictures came out stunning. She had our photos back to us even sooner than the timeline she gave us!!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
She is fantastic, and we will treasure these photos forever. We highly highly recommend Sara!”⁣⁣ — Daniella⁣⁣
