About

I’m Pavlina Perry, a portrait photographer based in Fanwood, NJ, serving Westfield and the surrounding communities. I specialize in family portraits, headshots, and personal branding, creating fashion-inspired imagery that celebrates your story.

Born and raised in Krásná Lípa, a picturesque town in the Czech Republic near the German border, I studied German in Germany and English in London before making the United States my home. Growing up in Europe, traveling, and connecting with people continue to shape how I see and create.

My love of photography began in childhood, inspired by my father, a photographer. I first developed photographs alongside him in the darkroom and continued learning in school. I later earned a B.A. in Art, majoring in Graphic Design, from New Jersey City University, where I also took additional photography classes.

My work brings together thoughtful composition, clean lines, and beautiful textures. I believe in less is more, quality over quantity, and portraits that deserve to be printed, enjoyed, and passed down.

Family means the world to me. My husband and I have two daughters, and we love spending time in Poconos PA, OBX 4x4 area s well as visiting my family in Europe. Keeping our girls connected to their grandparents and Czech roots is especially meaningful to me. Our two dogs and two birds join us on our adventures across the U.S.

Beyond the studio, photographing and editing, I love being outdoors with my family, gardening, and bringing new life to furniture and our homes - often inspired by photography and interior design books and magazines.

I take a limited number of portrait commissions each month so every client receives personal attention. I’d love to welcome you to the studio, get to know you, and create something beautiful together.
