I did a shoot with Beatrice a few months ago, and it was somewhat of a transformative experience for me. The experience leading up to the shoot was wonderful.

On the day of the shoot, I was nervous arriving that I would look awkward in front of the camera, but that worry went away immediately. Beatrice and Araceli (hair and makeup) were fun to chat with and I immediately felt as if I were hanging out with people I'd been friends with for years. Beatrice has so much creative vision, I brought tons of fun pieces from my wardrobe and we used them in ways I would never have predicted! I felt comfortable and was having fun for my entire shoot.

Plus, the pictures turned out absolutely amazing! They are all stunning I ended up getting all of them because there were just too many to choose from. 100% would recommend booking with...

Everything from thoroughly addressing my needs and questions in the weeks prior, to the outstanding hair and makeup artist day-of, and finally, the pleasant experience of reviewing and choosing shots with Beatrice.
