hello there.
I’m Paula Luu,
YOUR Portrait photographer
What is professional portrait?
Why do you need it?
This isn't just a photo shoot. It's an investment in you.
A beautiful portrait leaves you with something ineffable, a feeling that lasts in your heart, long after you’ve stopped looking. It’s my privilege to capture the true essence of you —your complexities, your interests, your affections—in a crystalline moment that reveals your beauty: true, timeless, and uniquely you.
Think about it – when was the last time you took a moment to celebrate yourself, to celebrate the journey you've been on and the person you have become? I can help shine a spotlight on yourself like nothing you've seen before.
Perhaps you're celebrating a major milestone in your life – a graduation, a promotion, turning 40, 50 or a new chapter. Or maybe you just want to capture this moment in time, freeze it forever in a photograph that you can look back on with fondness and pride. Whatever your reason, I urge you to consider booking a session with us here at Paula N Luu Photography.
I have a knack of helping my clients feel at ease and confident in front of the camera. I will guide you through the process, helping you choose the perfect outfit, hair, and makeup to create a look that reflects the person you are.

WHAT IF
I’M NOT PHOTOGENIC?
It is not your job to be photogenic. It’s my job to know the angles, the lighting, the lenses, and the poses to best showcase you.
Often times I hear from clients, “I am not photogenic” or “…skinny enough” or “…creative enough.” It is not your job to be any of those things. My job is to make you look gorgeous and create an unforgettable experience for you. My goal is to turn you into the model that you have always dreamt of. So let me create a timeless and incredible experience for you.
Let's do this!
client testimony
“I felt so special doing the photo shoot. Instead of letting age bring me down, I am embracing my elder years for who I am!”
Not only was it a super fun experience, but so empowering! You might feel like you’re not beautiful as you age, but Paula has a gift for finding the inner beauty in all of us and putting on display!

ABOUT YOu
You need to celebrate the women that you have become.
“Because you are beautiful. You are seen. You are worth celebrating." Allow me to create something incredible with you. I promise, it will change the way you see yourself.
“I'm Not Photogenic”
“Photogenic” is just COMFORTABILITY in front of the camera which is completely MY responsibility. I will guide you and take the pressure off of you so that you can just focus on having fun!
Frequently Asked Questions
“I Need To Lose A Few Pounds”
So many of my clients feel this way. Not only do I guide you, but, I will pose you, artistically light you and capture you at the most flattering angles. Those few pounds will not make a difference, TRUST me.
“I'm Too Old”
Whether you're having a portrait session with your loved ones or empowering yourself with a session for you, EVERYBODY deserves an experience like this at least once in their life. One day, your loved ones will look for photos of you, what will they find?
Plus check out my Fabulously 40 over 40 project. I photographed 40 women over the age of 40. Yes, I they were women at 50, 61, 70 and even 87. Age is just a number.
“Do I Have To Have A Makeover?”
The makeover is a great start to calm the nerves and enjoy some PAMPERING. Whether your goal is to just enhance or to bring on the glam, you're in excellent care with my carefully selected stylists. However, I also love to photograph women naturally with no makeup as well. It's completely up to you.
“What Products Do You Offer?”
I offer framed, acrylic, metal wall art prints in various sizes, beautiful custom albums and two types of photography folio boxes that hold matted prints. During your consultation you will be able to see these LUXURIOUS products in person.
“I Only Need Digital Files”
I create LEGACY portraits to enjoy and treasure with beautiful portrait products that will outlive digital files for generations to come. I source from incredible photography labs, one of them in Italy, that handcrafts their products with archival prints that have an expected longevity of 100 years. Each of your print products includes a matching digital file. So why not get both the product and the digital files?
However, for our headshots and personal branding session clients digital files will be given in both formats: website/social media size and high resolution.
“Who Can I Bring With Me?”
You're welcome to bring anyone with you to get photographed. Whether you enjoy a portrait session for yourself or maximize the experience and have loved ones join for a portion of your portrait session, we CUSTOMIZE your experience for you.
