SELF-CARE IS THE NEW BLACK

HOW IT WORKS
The Consultation
We’ll discuss ideas for your sets, wardrobe, and styling to make sure every aspect of your vision becomes a reality.
The Makeover
Professional makeup application will help prepare you for your time in front of the camera by highlighting your best features and bringing out your confidence.
The Session
Not sure how to pose? Don’t stress! Paula is here to guide you through every step of the photoshoot process, from the subtle head tilts to the sensual toe points. Paula will capture your most flattering angles and will work to highlight every aspect of your unique beauty so you can feel comfortable and confident throughout your photoshoot experience.
Private Ordering
Your private viewing and ordering appointment will occur right after your photoshoot. Paula will reveal all of your gorgeous images one by one while discussing all of our product options so you can make choices at your own pace. PNL offers the best quality fine art albums and wall art in the industry. And no minimum purchase is required, so what you buy is entirely up to you!
“I’LL GET MY PORTRAITS DONE WITH YOU ONE DAY! I JUST NEED A REASON.”
We hear this a lot. And I get it. Maybe it feels like a luxury shoot needs a reason. A pregnancy, an engagement, a milestone birthday. Some of our clients come in for a reason. The rest come in for a purpose.
To pamper themselves. To see themselves differently. To feel beautiful. To love on themselves. To treat themselves. To work with a team of artists. TO CAPTURE MEMORIES THAT WILL NOT WAIT. To express a new side of themselves. To have the most scroll-stopping images. To pass down a legacy. To make a Tuesday extra special.
We're here for you!
client testimony
"Paula and her entire staff were AMAZING to work with!!"
She was able to get her team together for a last minute photo shoot that looked like it took weeks to pull off! I was so in love with the final images that I was having a hard time choosing my photos! I felt so at ease, and truly enjoyed the shoot. Everyone was polite and we had a blast, more fun than I expected. She made my birthday shoot a dream and I am looking forward to working with her again! Book with Paula N. Luu Photography and I promise you won’t be disappointed

Frequently Asked Questions
"I Need To Lose A Few Pounds"
So many of my clients feel this way. Not only do I guide you, but, I will pose you, artistically light you and capture you at the most flattering angles. Those few pounds will not make a difference, TRUST me.
"I'm Too Old"
Whether you're having a portrait session with your loved ones or empowering yourself with a session for you, EVERYBODY deserves an experience like this at least once in their life. One day, your loved ones will look for photos of you, what will they find?
Plus check out my Fabulously 40 over 40 project. I photographed 40 women over the age of 40. Yes, I they were women at 50, 61, 70 and even 87. Age is just a number.
"Do I Have To Have A Makeover?"
The makeover is a great start to calm the nerves and enjoy some PAMPERING. Whether your goal is to just enhance or to bring on the glam, you're in excellent care with my carefully selected stylists. However, I also love to photograph women naturally with no makeup as well. It's completely up to you
"What Products Do You Offer?"
I offer framed, acrylic, metal wall art prints in various sizes, beautiful custom albums and two types of photography folio boxes that hold matted prints. During your consultation you will be able to see these LUXURIOUS products in person.
"I Only Need Digital Files"
I create LEGACY portraits to enjoy and treasure with beautiful portrait products that will outlive digital files for generations to come. I source from incredible photography labs, one of them in Italy, who handcraft their products with archival prints that have an expected longevity of 100 years. Each of your print product include a matching digital files. So why not get the product and the digital files.
However, for our headshots and personal branding session clients digital files will be given in both format website/social media size and high resolution.

“It was such an empowering experience and I thoroughly enjoyed every second!!!”
Not only was it a super fun experience, but so empowering! You might feel like you’re not beautiful as you age, but Paula has a gift for finding the inner beauty in all of us and putting on display!

“I felt very comfortable. She knows how to make you feel at home in your own skin.”
Once you have experience a portrait session with Paula you will understand why she stands out above them all. She's highly educated in the subject, but the mechanics of photography don't block her creativity and creating a piece of artwork.

“Finally, I have so many great images of myself that I love!”
I was quite nervous coming to the photoshoot because I don't usually like how I look in the photo. I told her if we could just get one good photo for my funeral picture then I will be happy. And boy did she delivered more than just one.
