Hi! It’s been a while! I’ve been busy putting together my fine art print shop and my new websites (thedailyartmill.com & victoriasmyrniotis.com ✨ @victoria_smyrniotis ). I stumbled across this portrait of the beautiful Addi while I was putting together a portfolio of work. I love the dreaminess of this shot. The way she was looking down at her flowers reminded me so vividly of all those gorgeous art nouveau paintings of beautiful women, flowers, and ornamentation. I thought I would share! 😊💕 Check out her beautiful artwork @amiyakom ❤️ #photography #portraitphotography #persephonestudios #portrait #flowers #sanjosephotographer

Golden hour is one of my favorites! Now booking graduates for 2018! Contact me for more info. ❤️ #PersephoneStudios

This is a favorite of mine from my engagement session with Richard and Ani. Shooting during golden hour creates the most beautiful golden halo. Learn more about lighting on the blog! #PersephoneStudios

Shooting at different times of days produces different results. Learn more on the blog this morning! This was on a cloudy day. Those clouds act as the perfect soft-box. | Link in bio!⠀

Beautiful backlit portrait of Kim taken in my home studio. Next week I'll have a blog post up explaining how to get different looks when shooting with natural light! Especially important when you’re trying to explain what look you want your photos to have. #PersephoneStudios

Here's one more portrait of these sweet girls. 💗

I'm not a child or family photographer, but I absolutely love it when I get the chance to photograph these little babies. My parents have portraits of me and my siblings from around this age that have been treasured and kept on display in their home all of these years. I love thinking about that heirloom quality when I'm photographing babies. They're not babies for very long, but at least there's photographic evidence of their cute little toes and their big cheeky grins. Thank you for a wonderful photoshoot! I always adore these photo sessions. #persephonestudios

Beautiful backlit portrait of Patricia wearing the gorgeous gowns she picked for her bridesmaids. Thank you for the photoshoot. I had a wonderful time with you. 💗 #persephonestudios
