I finally tracked down the photographer in the Newburyport area and called her. From the moment we first spoke I knew I was making the right decision. Roza made me feel comfortable sharing my personal feelings on why having boudoir shots of myself was so important to me. Even the call was empowering.
Working with Roza the day of my photo shoot was pure photo therapy. I'd never posed for a professional photographer before. I didn't know how I would 'be' in front of the camera. But the day ended up being one I will always remember. We talked, laughed, and I felt magnificent. It was a beautiful experience.
Then came the day of the reveal. When I first saw my photos I cried like a baby. I never saw myself like that. I was in awe. I still am.
Roza captured beauty in every shot. It still amazes me every time I look at the photos. Roza and her incredible talent behind the lens captured the me I never knew. And the me I lost over the years. The experience was magical. Roza truly is the camera doctor!
Thank you Roza!
I don't know how did i get so lucky to be photographed by such an amazingly talented photographer i was absolutely amazed by the results especially that as a photographer i never stood in front of the camera before ! She was very patient , understanding , fun, dedicated, and professional
If you are looking for a high end photographer, you have come to the right place.
Roza, thank you for making my experience so beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!
"Really cannot picture how the photographs are going to look, yeah. I feel good about it."
"Through wardrobe, through makeup, but more than that it's the way that her manner is so easygoing and so professional and yet unintimidating, it just puts you at ease from the get-go."

"She doesn't turn you into somebody else she sees what's beautiful in you and she brings it out."

“My husband didn't understand, he said you're beautiful no matter what, but I want to feel beautiful no matter what！”
"I am pleased to be here. I can hardly wait to see my contact sheets and proofs or whatever she presents to me in another week or so, but I think this is important for all women."
Anne G.
"I wanted to have some pictures in a way of keeping my breasts that have been so important for breastfeeding, for my identity as a woman."
"The whole journey of the session is very empowering, and you won't understand it until you're really doing it. I leave this place with no pictures yet, but already as a different person in a way, very happy. So the experience itself is transformative."
