2020 has been a year of many changes and disappointments. But the opportunity for our granddaughter to be part of the Strong Girls session has been a highlight. The joy of hearing Millie telling me how much fun it was, and watching her face when she saw herself for the first time; these are memories I will cherish.Thank you, really doesn’t cover just how appreciative I am for this wonderful experience for my family .
My 13 year old daughter excels in many different sports, but has struggled somewhat with looking different. What you did Marina, in such a beautiful way, was to reflect her beautiful strength and power back to her in a way that she is endlessly proud of. You captured her essence – her focus and her strength. I can’t thank you enough for doing the work you do.
Marina was wonderful. She very quickly engaged my son and was able to capture his passion for basketball, his incredible strength and the intensity that he plays with. The portraits turned out way beyond our expectations.
Lien’s portraits are beautiful and have opened her eyes to what she can do. She never believes us when we tell her how well she’s doing and how her skills are improving. Now she can see in her artwork – which she walks past 20+ times a day – just how good she can be and how good she really looks. We love them all!
I was expecting to hate the photos because I don’t like looking at images of myself. But when I saw the first one I thought, ‘I look beautiful.’ And the photoshoot made me feel so beautiful and strong. I was not expecting that at all. It was amazing.
Marina was detailed and professional from start to end. Starting with the consult, she came with a warm and open heart. She listened and asked questions. Her guidance for wardrobe and makeup were very useful!
The shoot itself was very comfortable, easy and fun. Marina was amazing with my 3 young kids! She captured so many great shots of them, I wanted to pick them all. No doubt I would choose her again!
Tatum LOVED her photographs! She is pretty impressed that she looks so good in them and her brother couldn’t stop saying how amazing he thought they were too.
Thank you for capturing Tatum as I see her – talented, strong, determined and passionate about what she loves doing. These photos will be treasured forever.
When I see my portrait, I always think ‘Oh my God, is that me?’ It feels like I’m a professional netballer. It’s really empowering.
I’m really happy I did the photoshoot because I felt I could express the person I want to be. I feel it helped me become stronger and not be afraid.

Marina is a talented and experienced photographer. She has great judgement and thinks outside the box with her camera. I would highly recommend Bonofiglio Photography.
Our portraits show strong, determined girls. It is important to me that my daughters can see themselves that way to remain strong throughout the good and the bad times.
Marina was amazing. She learnt about my daughter’s passion and made her feel safe and happy. The end result is stunning and way more than we could ever have hoped for. Marina you are such a blessing.
The stunning results from my daughters dance photography are absolutely magical. I recommend Bonofiglio Photography if you want beautiful, professional and a friendly environment. Marina’s the best!
Marina was eager to learn about our children before our photoshoot. She was highly professional yet extremely friendly and created stunning artwork from beautiful photos. Thank you for capturing our children beautifully.
What a wonderful delighhtful person Marina is. Always willing to be flexible and accomodating as we live 2 hours away. Beautiful portraits were done of my daughter dancing that we will treasure forever. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I would highly recommend Marina as she understood my daughter, Liana, and worked extremely well with her. Would definitely do more photo shoots in the future. 🙂
The photoshoot was fabulous experience for my daughter – lots of fun.
