Portraits

a Luxury Portrait Experience

My goal is to ensure that your Portrait photography experience is met with luxury service and skill, while delivering images you love, and design albums, wall art and video memories, you will cherish forever.

With a studio photography session we can implement different lighting setups along with canvas backdrops with or without props, paper or digital backdrops, or AI generated backdrops that will be sure to get exactly what you are looking for. How about a location setup?

There are many gorgeous places to photograph in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. But you don’t have to go far. Some of my favorite places to photograph are local. Many wineries, such as Early Mountain Vineyard allow portrait photography sessions during the week. Boars Head Resort also has lovely backdrops to photography against, as well as many, many places around the University of Virginia Campus, with it’s multiple gardens and beautiful architecture. Like a more Urban feel with your photoshoot?

There are plenty of places to Photograph in and around the Charlottesville Downtown Pedestrian Mall. Arnel Gonce Photography can help you choose setup that best fit the Portrait Session you have in mind.
