Tua Bella Studios

Located in Seattle, Washington, Tua Bella Studios [formerly Silken Images] was founded in 1996 by professional photographer Michael J. Laudini. Michael’s photos have appeared online and in publication, most recently – Playboy Magazine.  He has photographed thousands of clients over the years and is dedicated and passionate towards Artistic Glamour Photography.

At Tua Bella, we realize that no two people are alike and we apply this understanding to our photo sessions; individuals from a wide range of profiles are welcome. Whether you are 18 or 50, short or tall, large or small, a business professional or stay-at-home mom . . . all are encouraged to schedule a photo session.  We also work with models on a regular basis as well and professional collaboration is always welcome.

We will never stand you up against a wall and just shoot a bunch of photos, with minimal movement or style.   An individualistic approach is taken towards every photo session and our clients appreciate the special attention they receive. We welcome the opportunity to photograph and capture the true essence of your beauty on film.
