A bit about Grecia:
“Before I started Ella Studios, I struggled with my own self-image. As women, there is so much pressure to be perfect. I thought that I needed to fit into that box by doing things that weren’t true to me. It was a daily struggle just to be myself.
I identify as a dog mama…I’ve two giant fluffy babies, they are my absolute world, and we just expanded our family and rescued a 1 year old kitty! I’m a dancing enthusiast, you’ll probably catch me dancing at some point either in our IG stories or during your shoot! I love to find things that bring me joy and are fulfilling. I also like to make extra time to teach sexy selfies at home on our TikTok (are you following us?! You totally should). Showing women and couples that they are worthy of being celebrated as they are now also fills me with joy. Coming into the office every day isn’t work when it is something that you love.”
Now let’s be besties & have the best time ever pampering you for a day?! K, thanksss!

Client Relations & Marketing Coordinator
My journey with Ella Studios (formerly Grecia Valladares Photography) started when I was searching for the perfect wedding gift for my now husband. Little did I know, that boudoir session would be a truly transformative and empowering experience—unlike anything I had ever felt before. It reminded me how important it is to pause, celebrate myself, and embrace my confidence.
I believed in that experience so deeply that I found my way here, encouraging others to take the leap—because I know just how life-changing a boudoir session can be.
When I’m not cheering on our amazing clients, you can find me at home working on DIY projects (my happy place!), spoiling my two fur babies (which I totally blame on my husband), or getting lost in a good book—especially if it’s a spicy one. 😉
I can’t wait to be part of your boudoir journey!
