A creative photography partnership led by Paloma Schell and Polly Acioli


Two specialized photographers. One seamless family photography experience.

P&Co Portraits — A Shared Vision in Family Photography


P&Co Portraits is the union of two established photography journeys in family, maternity, newborn, and childhood portraiture.

Two photographers. Two perspectives. One shared space.

Paloma Schell


Paloma specializes in studio photography, with a strong focus on maternity and newborn sessions. Her work is known for controlled lighting, a minimalist aesthetic, and a calm, safety-first approach — creating timeless portraits rooted in emotion and connection.

Polly Acioli


Polly brings her creative vision to outdoor family sessions, children’s portraits, and playful Cake Smash experiences. Her style embraces movement, spontaneity, and expression, capturing joyful moments with lightness and authenticity.

Why P&Co exists


P&Co Portraits exists because every story deserves the right perspective.

By honoring individual artistic voices and clear specialization, we offer families a calm, thoughtful, and consistent experience — without compromise.

The result is photography guided by intention, trust, and care, where every session feels personal and every image feels meaningful.


Our Story

From Collaboration to Partnership


Our journey began with Koch & Schell Studio, a partnership recognized for capturing emotions with elegance and sensitivity.

Over time, Polly Acioli joined the studio, initially collaborating on Cake Smash sessions, where her talent and artistic voice naturally aligned with the studio’s identity.


When Deborah Koch chose to step into a new chapter, Polly became Paloma’s partner — marking the beginning of P&Co Portraits.

What started as collaboration evolved into a solid partnership built on trust, creativity, and purpose.

I had such a great experience with Paloma. She is such a gem of a person. The way she handled my baby was amazing. I was so calm and sure all the time. Pictures came out so well and it's the best memory I am going cherish throughout my life. Thankyou so much for this beautiful experience and I am pretty sure that I will be returning soon.
