Are you feeling shy about being photographed?

Juliet Lofaro Photographing Kara Snyder at Silvia Woodstock

In a world of filtered perfection, many clients come to me with concerns about being photographed. So often there are a few extra pounds, wrinkles, or past photos they’d rather not own. I never want to make light of this. What I want is for you to trust me. Trust the process. Celebrating yourself in pictures is, in my very biased opinion, one of the best gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones.

Starting with our first conversation, connection begins. My intention is that by the time we are in the photo session, you are prepared, comfortable, and maybe even feeling a bit courageous. We have planned and designed it, and I direct you throughout the shoot. I don’t have many jokes up my sleeve, but I’m confident we’ll have some laughs and smiles. Isn’t true beauty found in vulnerability? In the raw emotions that make us human?

If this is for your business, our connection becomes your connection to your audience and potential clients. When you look into the lens, the result is you looking at whoever sees the photo. Magic happens when you let your guard down and be vulnerable. It makes you relatable. We won’t just capture an image of you, we get to tell your story. Embracing discomfort is actually a perfect way to have your true beauty shine through. I encourage you to resist the urge to put on a mask of perfection. If there are any “imperfections”, people will just see your confidence and say “wow”.


Juliet Lofaro

"A third generation photographer, Juliet was first inspired by her family’s formal portraits and leisure time snapshots dating back to the 1930s. 

Raised in beautiful Woodstock, NY, she set up her first portrait shoot at age eight. A decade later, Juliet was accepted into and graduated from the prestigious photography program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. 

Though a sought-after portrait photographer, Juliet’s artistry soars through the act of simply taking pictures. When the moment of capturing the ‘right’ combination of light, angle and expression converges — it evokes something and tells a story. It is from that desire that she is inspired to create.
