I mean it when I say I'm down for anything that feels like you.


I want this moment to feel liberating, enjoyable, and full of adventure. It will be the most amazing date you've ever had with your partner when you're in front of my camera.


And ultimately, I know you want your photos to feel like you, so there are no prom poses here. Let go of all the anxiety and stress and just be yourselves. I'll show you my quirks so you can feel comfortable leaning into yours. Be you through and through, and I'll do the rest.

WEDDINGS

Your wedding day transcends a mere party or ceremony. It's a heartfelt celebration of your love story, shared with your most cherished people. You yearn to capture these fleeting moments that weave into treasured memories, preserving your unique narrative through timeless photographs. And you're exactly where you should be. Our photography is crafted for couples deeply in love, who recognize the beauty in the smallest details. This is a great place for you to tell your clients more about your story and to describe the type of photographer you are. You can come back at any time to make more changes.

MOTHERHOOD

 

Motherhood is a tapestry woven with miracles, filled with unforgettable moments and milestones. From the gentle flutters of your baby's movements to the overwhelming joy of their first embrace, every step of this extraordinary journey deserves to be preserved and treasured. Viva Por Ti Photography specializes in capturing the beauty and essence of motherhood in all its forms. We're here to document every precious stage, from the radiant glow of maternity to the awe-inspiring miracle of birth, and the tender bond you share with your children in lifestyle family sessions.

BOUDOIR

Boudoir isn't solely about brides-to-be; it's about empowering every woman, regardless of their journey. It's for those reclaiming their confidence after heartbreak, celebrating the strength of their postpartum bodies, honoring their resilience before or after a mastectomy, or embracing self-love after overcoming an eating disorder. Boudoir is a tribute to every woman, celebrating the body she inhabits. Raw is real, and I'm here to capture the essence of your inner queen. While boudoir photography has its roots in bridal traditions, its power extends far beyond. It's a transformative experience for women from all walks of life.

"SHE IS SO PROFESSIONAL, CREATIVE, AND IS SO PASSIONATE!"

Dominique is amazing! I’ve booked boudoir, my wedding, and now maternity! She is so professional, creative, and is so passionate! She is really good at taking your ideas and bringing them to life! I am very indecisive but she’s been able to take all my ideas and take beautiful photos! Her versatility is rare to find these days especially because most photographers are in one bucket, she does it all and I couldn’t be more happier with everything we’ve created thus far! I recommend her to all my family and friends she is that amazing! I will continue to book with her for all my photography needs!

Of course, you will walk away with photographs of all the unforgettable moments, as well as acquire photographs that:  

  • Show all the genuine, in-between moments that might otherwise be overlooked.
  • Remind you of the bomb-ass experience you had in front of the camera.
  • Unveil your most authentic self and demonstrate your true value.
  • Make you feel empowered, like the goddess you are.

Big mood: Photography is more than just clicking a button; it’s about capturing genuine moments and evoking emotions. I understand that being in front of a camera can be uncomfortable, but it’s not your responsibility to overcome those feelings – it’s mine.


I take pride in making my clients feel at ease and comfortable during their sessions, allowing genuine moments to be captured and memories made.


So, if you're looking for a photographer who will click a button, I'm probably not the right fit for you. But if you want someone who will capture beautiful images and make your photo session an enjoyable experience, then I'm your girl. Let's create memories and have a damn good time together.

Viva's Process

Step I

After we chat, we are going on a date! I want us to feel like we've been friends for years, so let's Facetime or grab drinks if you're local. The more comfortable we are together, the better your experience will be. If we get along, and we probably will, I'll send you a contract and invoice to make this official.

Step II

Once your date is booked, I will send you a planning guide and questionnaire to help me understand you better and assist you in planning your perfect day or session. We will discuss the little details of your day and get to know each other as individuals. I want to learn everything about you—your story, love language, and dreams.

Step III

This is the part where the magic happens. Let’s celebrate and document your love story. Nothing is off-limits. You want to make each other laugh hysterically? Let the dirty jokes fly! You want to make out? Go for it, lovers! And I’ll bring all your favorite drinks, smokes, and music to help you loosen up.

Step IV

I will ensure that you receive your cherished photos in a timely manner. You can expect to receive polaroids before we leave, and I will send you sneak peeks via email in the days following our session. The complete gallery will be delivered within 3-4 weeks for sessions and up to 12 weeks for weddings and elopements.

FAQ:

01

Where are you based, and do you travel?

Based in beautiful Rhode Island, I'm a photographer who thrives on the energy of beaches, cities, and mountains—and I'm always ready to travel to your happy place! Travel isn't just a buzzword for me—it's a way of life. Since my first plane ride or road trip, exploring new places has fueled my spirit and creativity. It's not about building a fancy portfolio; it's about capturing the raw emotions that come alive when people connect with nature. I know that feeling intimately, and it's what drives my passion for photography. Witnessing and capturing your love story in an epic location is an absolute thrill. Whether it's an elopement or a destination wedding, I'm here to create images that reflect the magic of the moment. To ensure I can give each client my full attention, I only accept a limited number of destination weddings and elopements per year. Once those spots are filled, I close my bookings, so don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested!

FAQ:

02

Can we see full wedding galleries?

You bet! I'm glad you asked. Understanding how your selected photographer covers an entire wedding day will ensure satisfaction with their capture and editing of reception photos, indoor photos, and more.

FAQ:

03

What do your travel fees include?

My pricing includes all travel expenses within the region of the country or international destination. I take care of my travel to make it easy for you, without any hidden fees. For events within Rhode Island, there are minimal travel fees for distances beyond 60 miles. For events outside Rhode Island, my travel expenses include a roundtrip flight, at least 2 nights of hotel stay, and a rental car. If your event requires more than these general travel plans, I can provide a custom travel quote.

FAQ:

04

We're not comfortable with the camera...

I hear this all the time and it's my job to help you feel comfortable! Many of the couples you see on my website and social media have never had professional photos taken before, so you can trust that I will help bring out the best in you.

FAQ:

05

What if you've never been to our venue?

No Problem! With every package, I include thorough research and personalized guidance for unfamiliar venues. I'll help you pinpoint the perfect spots for photos, vow exchanges, wedding party portraits, and more. Plus, I always visit the venue beforehand – either before your wedding day or by arriving early on the day itself – to scout locations in person. You can relax knowing we have a plan. I'll take care of the logistics so you can focus on enjoying your special day!

FAQ:

06

How long until we receive our photos?

I can't wait for you to see your photos! I pour my heart into perfecting each image, so editing takes time, but I promise it's worth the wait.


Here's the timeline:

  • Sessions: Expect your full gallery in about 4 weeks!
  • Weddings & Elopements: 8-12 weeks depending on the season, but I'll send a sneak peek within a week so you can share the excitement! Need them sooner? No problem! Just ask about my rush fee.

FAQ:

07

Will our photos be safe with you?

I have heard so many horror stories about photographers losing images - even at my friend's wedding. To make sure this doesn't happen to my clients, I back up every single photo I take in six different places at once. For example, I use two memory cards while shooting, store all images on two hard drives, upload them to the cloud, and keep the images on the original SD card in a fireproof safe until I deliver the gallery to you. I take this very seriously because losing your images from your special day is not something I'm willing to risk.

FAQ:

08

Do you have vendors you recommend?

Yes! After you book, I'll send you vendor recommendations tailored to your vision. Based on your location, I can recommend vendors for videography, planning, dresses, florals, catering, hair and makeup artists, rental companies, and more. I'm constantly connecting with people in the industry worldwide, so I'm adding to my recommendation list daily. When your wedding day is filled with the best people I know, it results in detailed photos that add so much to your entire wedding gallery!
