V & Co. Studio

Hi, I’m Vanessa!

I’m a luxury portrait photographer, educator, and the creative mind behind V & Co. Studio.

For over 15 years, I’ve been creating editorial-inspired maternity, beauty, motherhood, and branding portraits that blend fashion with fine art. Here, I pull back the curtain and share exactly how I create my images—from lighting diagrams and behind-the-scenes footage to DIY modifiers, editing techniques, and creative problem-solving.

You don’t need a warehouse full of gear to create stunning work. Sometimes all it takes is a few lights, a little imagination, and the willingness to experiment.

If you love dramatic lighting, luxury portraiture, and learning new techniques, welcome—I think you’ll feel right at home.
