Kind words from Clients
WHAT HEROINES AND MUSES SAY ABOUT THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
The session made me feel like a woman who can be sexy and sure of her body and not just a mother. It woke up that side of me that was long asleep.
Working with Hajnalka was really great. I felt badass and beautiful during the portrait session and the portraits make me remember how strong I can be. The investment is soooo worth it!
Hajnalka’s service is unlike any other photographer I've worked with. I felt like a goddess and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
The time and effort Hajnalka takes also before the shooting made it all special. After our kind and extensive preparation calls, my only worry was how to get all the outfits to the studio.
The session was more like spending a nice afternoon with a friend. Hajnalka took my worries and concerns away. I felt important and was able to see that I am beautiful and attractive, just as I am.
My portraits are dreams come to life in a way I've never experienced before. They're everything I'd imagined when creating the concept together with Hajnalka and so, so, so much more.
Hajnalka is an amazing artist. Her creative vision, expert direction, and meticulous planning will ensure you have images you will love and treasure. Her portrait work is truly one of a kind and I would travel again to do another session with her.
Hajnalka is so calm and encouraging, helping you feel confident in front of the camera! Her images exceeded all my expectations and I was amazed at what she brought out in me.
Hajnalka ist eine wundervolle, talentierte Fotografin und ich habe mich von der ersten Sekunde mit ihr wohlgefühlt.
Ich erkenne mich auf den Bildern wieder und schaue sie mir extrem gerne an, weil Hajnalka es geschafft hat, eine Seite von mir zu zeigen, die über ein klassisches Portrait hinausgeht.
Hajnalka hat für zauberhafte Wohlfühl-Atmosphäre gesorgt. Ich liebe meine neuen Portrait-Fotos und habe eine riesengroße Freude damit. Hajnalka ist eine wahre Künstlerin, eine Meisterin der Fotografie. Herzensdank!
The experience from the beginning to end was just lovely. It was such a joy to work with Hajnalka and her lovely team and I would do it again anytime.
You were born an original work of art.

Masterpiece
FAIRYTALE FLAIR
Masterpiece portraits are inspired by paintings of the old masters. They are staged and carefully crafted around a theme based on your vision. They are painterly pieces with a pinch of fantasy, some fairy tale flair, theatrical costumes, and unique props. If you've always wanted to be a warrior or a queen, this is the right choice for you.
Contemporary
MODERN EDITORIAL STYLE
The contemporary session will give you magazine-worthy portraits just like in Vogue. They are strong, glamorous, elegant, and authentic. They have a modern touch, reflected in the wardrobe and posing. Whether you want to wear a dramatic gown or a romantic dress, we got you.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHY SHOULD I DO THIS?
Because you are valuable and deserve beautiful portraits of yourself. You deserve to be a muse, you deserve to be celebrated and seen. Your portraits will honour your journey, no matter in what stage of your life you are in.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PORTRAIT SESSIONS?
These personalised portrait sessions are designed to create art with and for you. The portraits we craft of you are carefully considered, masterfully lensed and come as gorgeous fine art prints that you can treasure for years to come. Quality over quantity is my motto.
I DON’T THINK I’M PHOTOGENIC, WILL I STILL LOOK GOOD IN PHOTOS?
Being photogenic is a myth. Every woman can and should have gorgeous portraits of themselves. I will help you to feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. We will craft portraits that you’ll love.
I’M VERY NERVOUS ABOUT BEING PHOTOGRAPHED
Everyone is a bit nervous in front of the camera. It’s completely normal. Most of my clients have little to no experience being photographed. It's my job to help you relax and feel safe when being photographed. There is no pressure to perform, you should just be yourself.
WHAT IS A REVEAL AND ORDERING APPOINTMENT?
The reveal and ordering appointment is your image presentation session when you get to see your portraits from your session. This is also when you get to choose the images you want to purchase. Plan about an hour for this.
HOW LONG IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK MY PORTRAIT SESSION?
To be able to give my clients the attention they deserve, I only offer a very limited number of sessions each month. The average waiting time is between one to three months. This period also allows me to plan your bespoke portrait session thoroughly for an unforgettable experience.
