Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Where are you located?

The studio is located in Yorktown in the Hampton Roads area in the Virginia peninsula. The nearby cities are Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg, Gloucester, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, Charlottesville, Alexandria, Washington DC.

We are also very close to the North Carolina border about 3h from Raleigh and a little less to Rocky Mount.

I’m also available worldwide to your desired dream destination.

Do you provide all the outfits?

There is a lot of variety in the studio wardrobe and a lot of my clients love to mix and match with their own pieces. Most of the wardrobe is feminine though, but I’m known for my skills to transform some of my creative outfits to fit any gender and age.

I still ask you bring your own outfits to your photo session and we can still mix and match your items with the studio closet if you wish.

During your initial consultation we will discuss your style and move on from there.

Do you work with clients currently visiting your location?

Absolutely. Some of my clients do their photoshoot while here on vacation, training or on business trips. We can do your design consultation via email, phone, Zoom if you don’t live nearby.

Do you travel to other locations?

I love to travel! My job has taken me to many wonderful locations in Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil and the USA. If you’d like a portrait photoshoot in a special location, a big city, countryside or your hometown, please get in touch and we will discuss how to make it happen and what travel fees would apply.

Do you do headshots, editorial, personal branding or artistic projects?

Yes! I work with a variety of clients with the most diverse needs. Please get in touch for more info!

How much is a photoshoot with you?

The luxurious photoshoot experience with Roberta starts at $1200. To find out more please get in touch here

What methods of payment do you offer?

Online invoicing, all major credit cards and cash.

I also offer monthly and/or weekly payment plans to accommodate various needs.

Do you sell all digital packages?

Yes! My digital packages are the same price as my regular portrait sessions.

However some offerings are slightly different and more suitable for business and entrepreneurs.

Do I get digital + print when I buy my images?

Yes all my packages come with a 5×7 matching JPG digital image, or larger to match your purchased wall art size.

Do you photograph full nudity, Fine art nude or Boudoir?

Absolutely! I love to celebrate the human body with beautiful and tasteful Fine Art Nude images or more modest boudoir. Everything is always very professional and discussed beforehand.

Most of the nude portraits I create are generally implied nude. If you still would love to show some skin but keep everything covered that’s not a problem at all. I have many colors of beautiful silk fabrics that we can drape over your body and I can always use my lighting skills to only light the parts you want.

If you’re interested, contact me here so we can discuss it further.

Do you photograph newborns?

I don’t normally photograph newborns or children under the age of 4. But there’s always an exception to the rule. Please get in touch to discuss it further.

Do you photograph maternity/pregnancy?

Yes!!! Maternity, pregnancy or motherhood photoshoot is one of my favorite genres to photograph.

I love celebrating the feminine body that is creating a new life. Either on her own or with her partner. Helping that mamma feel loved, cherished and beautiful is one of the things I enjoy dearly.

Do you photograph events?

I do not photograph events, weddings or gatherings.

Do you photograph LGBTQ+?

Of course! I have no issues with how one identifies themselves. I’m an artist in this world to serve people and make everyone feel appreciated, included and worthy of a stunning photograph.

My studio is a safe space for you to be yourself, exactly the way you are.

Do you photograph pets?

Yes, but it depends. If you have a clean, calm, potty trained and well behaved animal that is not a problem for me at all. I would be honored to created portraits of your fur baby.

By the way, I love pets! I have a dog that is my life. His name is Thor and he is a Mini Australian Shepherd and on top of smelling so good most of the time he is an adorable loving puppy, very well behaved and calm.

Thor normally stays with me during all my photoshoots. He stays on his spot and does not disturb. But he will give you love and cuddles for free if you request.

But if you’d rather not be graced with Thor’s presence I can keep him away.

Do you photograph dancers, ballerinas, actors and other artists?

Yes, and I love working with other creatives. Artists give me so much life and I love creating images of them in action.
