Vision & Planning

Your story is a work of art.

Let me help you bring your story to life. It deserves a home that will put it on display and make it shine. During your consult, we’ll plan your photoshoot together so you’ll be more relaxed and confident in front of the camera.

For example, is this an outdoor shoot or an indoor shoot? Will this be a lifestyle shoot or a studio shoot? What are you hoping to accomplish? We even do into the styling portion and plan what you want to wear.

These portraits are your treasures for years to come, so let’s get it right and capture your story on camera.

The Portrait Experience

It’s your time to shine. No more holding back.

During our 2-3 hours together, I’ll capture your essence in images that will make you fall in love with yourself all over again.

As a photographer and coach, I’ve worked with celebrities and everyday folks. Establishing trust and connection is key, and I’m dedicated to creating an environment where you can be completely yourself.

INVEST IN TIMELESS ART

Art isn’t just for galleries—it belongs in your life.

From cherished family photos to empowering portraits of yourself, yes, you!

I proudly display wall art of myself, a reminder to my son that self-worth is paramount.

Explore our handcrafted Italian albums, story boxes, and modern wall art, carefully curated for you.

After your shoot, we’ll set a time to select favorites at my studio and tailor a package just for you. Plus, enjoy complimentary wall art design services to ensure your story shines through every piece, seamlessly complementing your space.

Your story matters—let’s tell it together, in a way that’s meaningful, timeless, and unforgettable.

Production and Pick up

You’re one step closer to having your art in your hands!

Once you complete your artwork order, it will go into production with our hand-picked vendors.

You can expect 4-6 weeks to have everything ready. During the process, I may reach out to you for clarification to ensure a high-quality outcome.

I will also contact you to schedule your pick-up.

In the meantime, digital files will be sent to you in order for you to enjoy!

Alpana has an amazing gift of capturing the essence of individuals and families in her photography.

My family and I found out about her through a mutual friend and are absolutely thrilled that we did a session with her.

She made us completely comfortable and was able to capture each individual’s unique personality in the pictures.

Her final products are beautiful and we are so happy to have captured this moment in our boys’ lives and have wonderful photographs to enjoy forever!!!
