About Adriana
Hi, I’m Adriana.
My goal is pretty simple. I want you to look like yourself on your very best day, and more importantly, I want you to feel like yourself when you see your photographs.
Not like a different person. Not overly posed or transformed into someone you don’t recognize. I want to bring forward the confidence, personality, strength, beauty, humor, and everything else that makes you unmistakably you.
Women are at the heart of much of my work because I know how easy it is to spend years taking care of everyone else and slowly move yourself farther down the list. I also know what it feels like to lose confidence and have to find your way back to the person you remember being. Photography became one of the ways I learned to do that, and eventually, a way I could help other people do it too.
Most of my clients are not models, and you absolutely do not need to know how to be photographed. That is why I created a process that starts long before you walk through my door. I help you prepare, figure out what to wear, plan your session, and know what to expect. Once you are here, I guide you through posing, movement, and expression, with plenty of conversation and humor along the way.
I also purposely put myself on the other side of the camera and book photo shoots with other photographers. I never want to forget what it feels like to prepare for a session, trust someone else with the camera, and wonder what on earth you are supposed to do with your hands.
Be yourself. Be extraordinary.
I am not interested in turning you into somebody else. Whether I am photographing you for a beauty or boudoir session, a headshot, your business, your family, a dating profile, or your senior year, I want to create photographs that feel like you.
Maybe it is a version of yourself you have not seen for a while, or maybe it is who you are becoming right now.
Either way, when I turn the camera around and hear, “Wait, that’s me?” I know we got there. And maybe you stand a little differently afterward.
That is why I do this.
A Little About the Woman Behind the Camera
I grew up in Poland with a crime scene photographer for a dad, so cameras and darkrooms were
part of my childhood. I am also a licensed esthetician, a wife, a mom of 2 daughters, an
inappropriate joke enthusiast, and someone who firmly believes that being “not photogenic” is not a
personality trait.
I’ll handle the camera. You just have to show up as you.
