WHY ME, AND WHY NOW?

My name is Arnel Gonce , I am 61 and a Charlottesville, Virginia based portrait photographer. I have been a professional photographer in Charlottesville for 13 years and this is the most powerful women’s black and white portrait portrait session that I have worked on with clients to date and I can't wait to meet you!

“We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face ... we must do that which we think we cannot.”

— Eleanor Roosevelt

So many women are discovering the freedom of sessions where you can be yourself, and let go of conventional portrait sessions and find their own freedom of expression. A fine art session can be a very empowering experience, as well as a confidence booster. It’s about exploring what we fear, and embracing who we are, as we are, not only in that moment, but in every moment we live. And the confidence is not fleeting, but lasting, because we’ve changed the way we see ourselves. Take the chance. You won’t regret it!
