Testimonials

We really enjoyed working with you. Both my wife and I felt very comfortable during both days of shooting. I am biased, but to me, my wife looks like many of the portfolios you have shot with other models, you truly captured her beauty in your photos. You were great working with her, she is very inexperienced with posing and modeling, other than for my camera, and you were able to get the best out of her! Throughout the remainder of our vacation I took many additional photos of her and she was more confident and sexy then ever.
I can’t believe how quickly you were able to turn around a gallery for us. I know you took a lot of photos so I’m sure it is time-consuming to go through them all. I was glad to see that almost all of the ideas during the shoot turned out and were included in the gallery.
I am so excited to display multiple photos in our home, it truly is art! Even my wife is comfortable displaying some of the more risque photos since they turned out so well! To me, they are all wonderful but I was curious if you had a favorite from your position as the artist and photographer? We are hoping to display multiple ones and when I get them up I’ll send you a photo.
Again, it was a great experience and if you ever need a recommendation or if I can leave a review anywhere I’d love to do that. I hope we weren’t too difficult to work with and maybe someday we can have another shoot with you in the Bahamas!

Thanks so much! I can honestly say I had so much fun, and doubt I would have done it without your easygoing and playful attitude. See you tomorrow for Round two😜

FAQ

How do I book a private photo session in St Barth?

Simply reach out and tell me what you have in mind — portrait, couple, boudoir, or something else entirely. I’ll confirm availability, suggest the best timing based on light and weather, and we’ll plan every detail together. A deposit secures your date.

What types of photo sessions do you offer?

I offer private portrait sessions, couple and honeymoon shoots, boudoir and fine-art nude photography, family portraits, and lifestyle sessions. Each one is tailored completely to you — your style, your comfort, your vision. If you have an idea that doesn’t fit a box, let’s talk.

Where do the photo sessions take place?

Wherever the light is best. Popular spots include Saline Beach, Gouverneur, Shell Beach, the wild coves around Toiny, and the streets of Gustavia. Many clients prefer the intimacy of their private villa, and yacht sessions are always spectacular. I’ll guide you to the setting that fits the mood you’re after.

How much does a private photographer cost in St Barth?

Pricing depends on the type of session, duration, and location. As someone who’s been doing this on the island for over 26 years, I offer a premium experience — and that’s reflected in the final images. Contact me for a custom quote. I promise it’s worth it.

How long does a photo session last?

Most sessions run between 1 and 2 hours. That gives us time for multiple locations, outfit changes if you like, and — most importantly — enough space for you to relax into it. Rushed photos don’t look like you. Relaxed ones do.

When is the best time of day for photos in St Barth?

Early morning and late afternoon — what we call the golden hour. The Caribbean light at those times is impossibly beautiful: soft, warm, and outrageously flattering. I’ll advise on the ideal timing for your session based on the season and location.

Do you shoot outside St Barth?

Yes. I split my time between St Barth, Harbour Island in the Bahamas, Miami, and Monaco. If you’re interested in a session in any of those places — or somewhere new — let’s talk.

Will my photos be kept private?

Absolutely. Your privacy is paramount. No image is ever shared or published without your explicit written consent. Many of my clients value discretion above everything, and I take that seriously. What happens in the session stays in the session — unless you choose otherwise.

Also available for private sessions in Bahamas, Miami, and Monaco.
