Private women's photoshoot

Q: I don't know how to pose. Is that a problem?

No. Most people who come to me have no posing experience. On set I tell you how to position yourself. I won't bend you into poses you don't recognise yourself in. A photo in which you, or your partner, recognise you straight away is better.

Q: Can I bring someone with me?

Yes. One person on set doesn't get in the way, and many people feel more at ease with company. I only ask them to cheer from the side: the fewer distractions while posing, the better the photos. You can also come alone, whichever you prefer.

Q: Do you do maternity sessions?

Yes. A maternity session in Warsaw has the same packages and prices as a women's photoshoot (pricing). We set the date individually, so that it's comfortable for you. Your partner or an older child can be in the photos with you.

Q: Can I have makeup done for the session?

Yes. I'll recommend a makeup artist I work with. You arrange and settle with her directly, and she sets her own rate, roughly 320 PLN. The exception is model tests, where polaroids and digitals are meant to show your natural features, so makeup gets in the way more than it helps.

Q: Can I get more photos than the package includes?

Yes. Each extra retouched photo costs the same as a photo in your package. The rates are in the price list. You add them when you make your selection.

Q: Do you shoot outside Warsaw?

Yes. Warsaw is my base, but I travel. By default I plan trips that fit into a single day: Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Lodz, Lublin, Bialystok, Kielce, Radom, Olsztyn, Czestochowa, the Tricity area (Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia), and the whole Katowice metropolitan area. Longer trips are possible too. If the shoot needs two days or the place is further out, we price it individually. Travel up to 50 km from my address (shortest road route) is included; beyond that it costs 1.50 PLN per kilometre over that limit (the rate already covers the round trip), and beyond 150 km I price it individually. You get the quote before booking. Your city not on the list? Get in touch — I'll check whether the trip makes sense.

A photo session in Warsaw, no experience needed, with a preview of the photos during the session. 10, 20 or 40 retouched photos, from 700 PLN, published only with your consent.

Who is a women’s photoshoot for?

For you, if you want good photos of yourself. As a keepsake, for a new chapter, just for you, or simply because it’s been a while since anyone took a photo of you that you actually like.

I also do maternity sessions: the packages and prices are the same as for a women’s photoshoot, and your partner or an older child can join you in the photos.

You don’t need to know how to pose. Most people who come to me have never done it before. On set I tell you how to stand and what to do with your hands. I won’t twist you into strange poses, because I’d rather take a photo in which you see yourself straight away. What comes up most often in reviews after a session is feeling at ease in front of the camera, including for people who were nervous beforehand.

There are no random people on set. Who else comes along (a makeup artist, a friend) is up to you. Every so often we look at the photos together, on a monitor in the studio or on a phone outdoors, and make corrections. More about me.

The photos stay yours. This is a private session: by default I publish nothing. I only show the photos if you clearly agree to it.

How does it work?

1. Initial chat Reach out via the contact form or on Instagram. Tell me about yourself and what you’re looking for. I’ll suggest concepts that suit you.

2. Preparation Together we plan the moodboard (a set of reference images showing the mood, the light and the framing), outfits and the place. I listen to what you need, and if you send inspiration, I ask what matters most to you in it. Based on a short chat about your needs and what’s possible, I suggest a place that will live up to what you expect. You’ll get specific guidance on how to prepare.

3. The session We book 2–3 hours depending on the package, of which about 80–140 minutes is shooting. Every so often we look at the photos, on a monitor in the studio or on a phone outdoors, and make corrections. The rest is preparation on both sides: you change outfits and touch up your hair or make-up, I set the light and look for frames.

4. Editing & delivery You get the finished photos within 14 days of your selection. Each one is retouched (skin, colours, framing). You receive high-resolution files.

Where do we shoot?

In a studio or outdoors. I pick the place to match the mood you want in your photos. You pay for a paid venue 1:1, with no markup from me (pricing). Studios I suggest for a private session:

Studio Mińska 25: 60 m² in Praga-Południe: large windows, linen curtains, a bed with bedding on request. It’s very similar to Dreamlight, so expect the mood in these photos.
Studio Ryś: 110 m² in Mokotów: a cyclorama (a backdrop with no visible edges) with a blackout option, a raw wall, a leather sofa.
Studio Chmury Hoża: arches, niches, palms and warm daylight.
Monsterownia: boho in Saska Kępa: kilims and plants in a former sculpture studio.
Studio Vanessa: 40 m² in Służewiec: concrete, wood and metal walls.

More places, grouped by mood: my favourite studios in Warsaw.

Outdoors there's usually nothing to add. You know the figure before booking.

FAQ

No. Most people who come to me have no posing experience. On set I tell you how to position yourself. I won't bend you into poses you don't recognise yourself in. A photo in which you, or your partner, recognise you straight away is better.

No, unless you agree to it. This is a private session: by default I publish nothing: not in my portfolio, not on Instagram. Consent to publish is not a condition of the session. You can agree to some frames and not others, and a “no” changes nothing between us.

In Session 10 and Session 20 we book 2 hours, of which about 80 minutes is shooting (in Session 40 it's 3 hours and about 140 minutes of shooting). The rest is prep on both sides: you unpack, change between outfits and touch up hair or makeup, while I look for frames and set up the light and the monitor we check the photos on every so often. I say it upfront so nobody is surprised the camera isn't working for the full 120 minutes. If the day allows, you can stay longer: each extra started hour is 300 PLN in a studio and 150 PLN outdoors.

Yes. One person on set doesn't get in the way, and many people feel more at ease with company. I only ask them to cheer from the side: the fewer distractions while posing, the better the photos. You can also come alone, whichever you prefer.

Yes. A maternity session in Warsaw has the same packages and prices as a women's photoshoot (pricing). We set the date individually, so that it's comfortable for you. Your partner or an older child can be in the photos with you.

Yes. I'll recommend a makeup artist I work with. You arrange and settle with her directly, and she sets her own rate, roughly 320 PLN. The exception is model tests, where polaroids and digitals are meant to show your natural features, so makeup gets in the way more than it helps.

We start with the vision, not the wardrobe. First we talk about what photos you want, and I put together a moodboard, a set of reference images showing the mood, the light and the framing. Based on it I tell you which clothes from your wardrobe to prepare, so you know what we're going for before you get on set. Got statement pieces you rarely have an occasion for? Go for it, a session is a good moment to bring them out. Bring outfits on hangers or in a garment bag so they don't crease. If you want makeup, I'll recommend a makeup artist I work with.

Yes. Each extra retouched photo costs the same as a photo in your package. The rates are in the price list. You add them when you make your selection.

Get in touch through the form or on Instagram, and we agree on the concept, place and date. Before booking you get the price list, the Session Terms and a draft contract. A deposit reserves the date and is counted towards the price. The amount for each package is in the price list.

Yes. Warsaw is my base, but I travel. By default I plan trips that fit into a single day: Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Lodz, Lublin, Bialystok, Kielce, Radom, Olsztyn, Czestochowa, the Tricity area (Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia), and the whole Katowice metropolitan area. Longer trips are possible too. If the shoot needs two days or the place is further out, we price it individually. Travel up to 50 km from my address (shortest road route) is included; beyond that it costs 1.50 PLN per kilometre over that limit (the rate already covers the round trip), and beyond 150 km I price it individually. You get the quote before booking. Your city not on the list? Get in touch — I'll check whether the trip makes sense.

Because the date and the location are one decision, not two. I don't have my own studio: I pick the location to fit what the pictures need, so until I know what kind of session we're making, I don't know which space can carry it or when it's free. A click-to-book calendar would promise availability I can't confirm before we've talked. That's why the process starts with a conversation, not a click. Get in touch, tell me what you're looking for and roughly when suits you, and I'll come back with a proposed date and place.
