Testimonial 002 — It was great to work with Gianna, she made me feel very comfortable, empowered annd seen and we spent the day laughing and snapping some incredible shots. She really knows her stuff and I am so proud of what we created. I look forward to future opportunities to creatively collaborate. Pi ★★★★★

Testimonial 003 — My photography session with Gianna was outstanding. Booking the session, our chats prior to the session and the session itself were easy. I felt comfortable and confident throughout the session and Gianna provided suggestions and prompts where needed (very helpful for someone who is awkward at posing themselves :D). 5/5 would recommend to anyone who wants to feel confident in their body. Jessica ★★★★★

Testimonial 005 — I had such an amazing time with Gianna! She was great in helping me bring my wish to life for my birthday boudoir outdoor shoot, made sure I felt safe and helped build a creative space! The photos are gorgeous and I love how I feel in them. Thanks Gianna!! Kaylee ★★★★★

Testimonial 006 — I chose Velvet Thyme because I wanted to uncover parts of me that had become lost that I was slowly rediscovering. Gianna listened to me and helped me to bring my rediscovered self to the surface, and celebrated it with me (covered in glitter, and gift wrapped in good tunes). I felt heard and seen, and the whole process was respectful, professional and fun. I adore what we created, the photographs are gorgeous. Gianna is a gem and I would love to work with her again in the future. Rebecca ★★★★★

Testimonial 007 — I went into this experience with little expectations and a few nerves. The whole experience is exciting, unique and felt more like two friends hanging out. Gianna understood my ideas and goals and overall vibe of the shoot and helped me to feel like goddess I am. The experience, the final product, the vibe all were amazing! Every women needs to do this at least once in a lifetime! Samantha ★★★★★

Testimonial 009 — I adored my shoot with Gianna. It was so much fun and the photos I received are stunning. I felt really beautiful and Gianna's encouragement and direction helped me feel at ease throughout the whole process. She's the perfect combination of professional, talented and friendly. I am so grateful to have found such a lovely woman to have shared this intimate experience with. I definitely recommend her! Sheena ★★★★★
