Hello, I'm AVA

ARTIST
Modern monogram logo design with interlocking A and V letters in black.

In 2007, I opened AVA | Photo & Design Studio; a boutique photography studio that has been capturing portraits for teens and families for over fifteen years. What started off as an idea , big dreams and a ton of passion, developed into a thriving full time business. After graduating NJCU with a Bachelor in Arts degree, I interned for NBC in their photography department then having many in between jobs. My heart was always with photography and helping people leave their legacy through art. I began building my business at the age of twenty four.


My company went from an at home operating studio to my retail photography studio where I sharpened my skills, became confident as a business owner and gained many client relationships. There are so many aspects to my business, it certainly isn't just one niche. I'm an artist at heart and love creating many things. Let's create something beautiful together.


I reside in Bloomfield, NJ

My approach

 

AVA | PHOTO & DESIGN STUDIO is not a one fits all studio. Everyone has a different photography need and want, so you decide on what best fits your photography experience.  I take a very casual approach to photographing you and your family.  I don't believe in too posed of images rather  letting your personality shine through naturally.


What's included to start your AVA photography experience? The collection is great for kids portraits, teens/graduation portraits, family and holiday sessions. Each session includes a pre session consolation, up to 45 minutes of photography, Ava's signature editing style for your viewing gallery and the option to purchase through the A La Carte menu.
