There are many ways of displaying your favorite images at home. Why not arrange to come over and discuss some options?

Sweet Alexander

After I photographed beautiful Lena a few months back while she was pregnant I now had the pleasure of portraying their little Alexander, here at the age of 2 months:

I can’t wait to welcome the next newborns in my studio!

Meet Thor

What a great portrait session with Stefanie, Tash and 3 months old Thor at the studio last week. A large varierty of striking images; here are some of my favorites:

Wishing everyone, here in Cyprus, a lovely Easter week-end!

Little Paul

Let me show you my favorite images from a recent Newborn Photo Shoot! This is Paul, 2 weeks old, very cute indeed, with his parents, Isabel and Hardy, as well as 2 grandparents that came from abroad for the occasion.

We already had two exciting photo sessions when Isabel was pregnant, a Studio Session in December and an Outdoor Session in January.

Apart from a couple of moments Paul was right awake throughout the whole session! Very unusual for such a young baby;  he was ever so curious and there were many beautifully tender moments to capture .

Lovely images that will soon become amazing wall art pieces:

 Wie wunderschön! Die sind einfach super toll!!!!!!!!

 

“We can’t thank you enough for those amazing pictures! Initially I was a little worried taking my newborn out of the house at only two weeks of age, but looking at these fantastic images there is no doubt that it was the absolute right thing to do. It was such a relaxed shooting in a most comfortable studio environment and Viola’s patience had no limits.  The results exceeded our expectations and I can only highly recommend to have a portrait session of your newborn done by Viola. Thank you again!”  Isabel & Hardy

 

 

 

 

 

First Portrait Session 2012!

What a lovely way to start working this year with Marina, Costas, Sophia and Christopher in the studio!

A lively session full of surprises and great results!

More of last week’s sessions to come shortly.

And there is always time for a lovely ‘parents only’ portrait:

Cute Sophia

A delight to photograph this very cute little 2 year old girl, called Sophia. We managed to portrait her in so many different outfits and changing her hair style and she enjoyed the session right through to the end.

Having such a vibrant toddler in the studio is always a challenge and I loved capturing her natural laugh, the thoughtful look, the hesitant smile and looking through my lens seeing this ever so sweet, angelic face:

 

 

 

I look forward to seeing you soon again at the kindergarden!

Chrysanthi Despoina

A glorious winter afternoon in the park portraying little Chrysanthi Despoina:

 

 

 

 

 

These are some of the many lovely images of Marilena, Pierantonio, Artemis and the twins Aristodemos & Constantonis taken in the studio several weeks ago. Always a great experience to photograph twins and those two were so cute and from the start to the end in a good mood enjoying every minute of the attention they received:

 

 

 

Ileana and her children

Another fun filled and exciting portrait session at my studio; this time I took a series of lovely images of fellow photographer Ileana Philippides and her adorable kids.

Everyone of my portrait sessions is unique and we get a great variety of images by changing clothes, set-up and background. I aim for the ever so important family portrait as well as capturing tender moments between siblings and single portraits that bring out the child’s personality.

I see child art photography as an expression and revelation of your child’s true nature. To capture this we require three things: time, patience and fun! My sessions usually last between 2-2.5 hours allowing enough time for the child to become comfortable in the new environment, for small breaks, change of clothes and hairstyle and for choosing the suitable prop. I have a selection of chairs, cushions, blankets and toys available, however I do also encourage to bring along personal items to make the photo session even more unique.

The connection between Ileana’s children is beautifully shown through the power of black&white photography, whereas a colourful outfit shines in colour photography.

The power of a seamless black background is amazing and when you come to my studio you will see examples of large wall art where I used this background. The focus is exclusively on the child and particularly extreme close-ups are ever so strong.

I very much look forward to the year 2012 and having lots of more opportunities to portrait families!
