Our studio is very proud: three ladies got engaged after presenting their boyfriends with imagery created by KISSED BY LIGHT (Now THAT’S the power of images!). But the most sweet story happened recently – Miko proposed to his longtime girlfriend during the couples photo shoot with us. Miko planned it ahead of time, and we were on board and played along. His girlfriend was absolutely surprised! It was so adorable and romantic, we cried a little.
Portraiture and Music Go Well Together
Working with artistic people is always a pleasure. Whether actors, painters or singers, I find they have a stronger presence of character, and our job becomes to capture it accurately. This lovely couple are opera singers and I adore their character, artistic, timeless, and classic beauty and, of course, opera singer’s poise.
Beauty Shot Series
Here is my recent fashion photography series of beauty shots. In fashion industry beauty shot is similar to portrait of a person, usually cropped no lower than a bust line that focuses of facial features of the person. Makeup and hair industry uses mainly beauty shots in their advertising campaigns. I love beauty shots as the character energy is isolated to face only, and I think it’s quite powerful.
Enjoy!

Youth, Beauty and Grace
We loved shooting with this beautiful young woman. The spirit of gentle young lady is soft yet very powerful. Genuine beauty, sparkle in the eyes and charm are felt in every image, and as part of our ‘Little Black Book’ album will be captured and enjoyed forever.
