Paulina brings over a decade of styling experience to the table. Since embarking on her journey as a professional photographer more than 12 years ago, she has been dedicated to creating sets and wardrobes for fellow professionals. Her initial foray into styling began with basic materials, such as tulle and artificial flowers, and has evolved into expertise in crafting comprehensive sets and wardrobes.

Throughout her career, Paulina recognized that not everyone possesses the skills or inclination to manage styling. To address this need, she established a service that allows industry professionals to hire her for events, workshops, seminars, expos and retreats. In addition to designing exquisite wardrobes, she can also source backdrops, models, and props, enabling professionals to concentrate on imparting their passion and expertise to their students.

As a creative assistant on set, Paulina ensures that all elements are arranged as planned and function seamlessly. Her support allows photographers and other professionals to focus on teaching rather than managing logistics.

Her starting rate is $1500, plus travel and lodging expenses. For a complimentary consultation call, please feel free to reach out.
