OUR TEAM

LORA

Founder / Creative director / Photographer

Lora Vertue is an accomplished professional photographer and the Kissed By Light Studio’s founder. The art of photography became her passion and life’s work – she has skillfully navigated the fields of professional art and fashion photography for many years, learning how to capture the intricate beauty that lies behind a camera lens. Her work is airy and bright, her captures are full of love, intimacy, and delicate details. Behind her extensive knowledge of angles, light amplitude, and compositions lies a true fascination with human beauty and personality.

With her gentle and kind demeanor, she unveils the personality of her subjects during the shoot, exposing their unique beauty and character. To Lora, every subject is a muse, for every photo shoot is a collaborative experience, where both photographer and subject inspire each other, find their flow, and decide on a creative direction together.

Lora is a single mom of three beautiful children. You may sometimes see her family photos on our blog. She is also very dedicated to charitable causes, finding many ways her business and passion can help the environment and various social programs.

CRISTINA

Associate Photographer / Studio Manager

Cristina began her photography journey 17 years ago, seeking to reveal the beauty that lies everywhere around her and within the people she met. She promptly made Boudoir photography into her dream career and became one of the very first Boudoir photographers in Spain in 2010.

In her own words: “I think happiness is contagious and that is the main reason I love photography. Making someone happy through art makes me happy just the same, and brings immense joy into every workday, inspiring me to do everything with passion and dedication.”

She loves to explore sensuality and personality in small details. Through keen observation and a personal chat, she gets to know everyone in depth so that her captures reflect who they are and their personal beauty.

Cristina loves lingerie, vintage and antique treasures, writing, and her cat, Gypsy.
