Inside of Julia Ideson Library

During the time my clients, Alex & Alex, and I were at the Julia Ideson Library, we had so much fun discovering all the gorgeous spots around the building. We kept finding amazing areas were the natural light would come in through the vintage windows.

Furthermore, the Julia Ideson Library has 3 floors in which we had access to take photos in. This allowed us to take advantage of the stairs and get different candid photos walking up and down the stairs.

Along with the stairs, the Julia Ideson Library also has an art gallery area. Alex & Alex fell in love with the art gallery – and honestly, SO DID I! Photos in an art gallery had been on my bucket list for a while. I was so glad Alex and Alex were so excited to get photos done inside the art gallery room.

It was such a pleasure taking photos for these two souls. I loved getting to know them beyond just their initial inquiry. Alex and Alex shared about their engagement story and it was sure a great one! It’s super important to me to build a connection with every client because that is how I can make sure they feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Which brings me to when Alex first inquired. When Alex inquired, she told me she wanted photos where they could feel like themselves. – relaxed, comfortable, with a mix of laughter. She really highlighted that she didn’t want to feel too posed and uncomfortable. Which is when I knew I would be able to help her out with the perfect engagement photos. My love for raw, documentary, and spontaneous moments are where I can make sure my couples can feel relaxed and really enjoy their photoshoot experience.

“Bianka was fabulous! Her turn around time was ahead of schedule and was so patient and kind during the entire process. She gave us exactly what we were looking for and posed us. 10/10 will recommend her to others.” – Alexsandra
