You're Invited

A calmer way to do the cards

Every December, the same thing happens: the photo gets taken in a rush, the cards get ordered late, and they go out after New Year's, if they go out at all.

This year, let me take it off your list. One relaxed session in the studio, your gallery ready within two days, and fifty cards with envelopes already printed with your return address. You bring the family. I'll handle the rest.

“With a family of 15 members, 5 of which are children 5 and under, Luciana was excellent in navigating our group, working quickly, and getting the shot.”

Meet Luciana

I've been photographing Massachusetts families from my Chelmsford studio since 2017. Even in a short session, I'm looking for the same thing I look for in a full commission: the quiet, real moments that show who your family is right now.

Short doesn't mean rushed. It means planned well, so you can simply show up.
