She also was giving the advices during the process about the face expression and the pose, which was very helpful for me. The photos which I've received after just 15 minutes photoshoot are fantastic! Can't choose which one to use for my account. Definitely recommend!

  • Fast and high-quality service. The photographer knows what she is doing and helps you get... read more in nice poses! The only downside is that the photoshoots are done in public spaces as she does not have a studio. If you want to do it in a private room, you have to pay 20 euros extra.
