I commissioned Adela to create charcoal sketches from two pictures of my wife and I when we were dating. It was a great experience from start to finish. Her professionalism, collab...
oration, and her willingness to work with feedback was exceptional. As she stated many times, “I just want you to love your pieces”. Her passion and talent were readily apparent. When my wife saw the finished portraits, she cried. Not only were the sketches beautiful, but Adela captured the joy we felt on the day the pictures were taken. She is an up and coming star - book her while you can! ~ Scott B

ocess feel easy and personal, which meant so much during the chaos of wedding planning.
On the wedding day itself, Adèla was calm, professional, and such a lovely presence. She blended in effortlessly while still connecting with us and our guests, who were completely fascinated watching her work. So many people commented on how talented and warm she was.
