She is very easy to work with and extremely flexible. It's easy to feel shy and awkward in front of the camera if you aren't used to taking pictures, but she makes my family and I feel completely comfortable and at ease. She has a beautiful, cozy Manhattan studio that's very accessible too! The images we've received are STUNNING and we constantly get compliments on them when friends and family see them. The pictures truly remind me of the awesome photographs you see in magazines. We're repeat customers (and will continue to be) because Beloved Photos is a GEM!

We asked her to to come Dumbo, Brooklyn for the photoshoot and she was so accommodating. My family is really bad with taking pictures. So I personally was a little hesitant . But Abigail made it so easy and the shots she took were amazing. We loved the whole experience of it. She never rushed us, let us take our time and we were so comfortable with her. She took some beautiful shots of my daughter and my daughter absolutely loved her. We will definitely be using her services again. She's great at what she does and is such a pleasure to work with as well. Thanks Abigail.

iris is a phenomenal photographer... I wanted to document a…read morepersonal experience I had in my life, through photographs. I'm a scientist by trade, and analytical thinker, so I knew I needed collaborative help with a artistic mind to bring my project into fruition. I got lucky... I discovered a "Diamond In The Rough" in Bushwick Brooklyn through a referral. It was Iris, a photographer who sat with me for about 20 minutes before the shoot, getting to know me and my vision. The time we spent together chatting, built a sense of trust, she knew what I wanted from the photo session. We came up with ideas we both could agree upon. I knew my ask was unusual. I had a horrific past 6 years, back-to-back trauma. I loathe having my picture taken. I never know what to do with my body or face or anything, so self conscious. I hurt my face. Had 10 stiches a couple of weeks prior and I wanted to show all of that, I didn't want to hide anything. I wanted to express an authentic me. Scars and all. My candids are the best usually when I'm not "trying.. I don't wear makeup. I'm simplistic . But she displayed me as simply beautiful. She made me feel beautiful. I love entirely how she has a great listening ear, she makes you feel heard, yet she pushes to get the best out of you. She set the right tone with simple props, with the Wardrobe I chose to wear, to communicate my message. Her skills captured me in a way that I couldn't have done without her. And I could tell she enjoyed the collaborative process. I received professional feedback from my artsy friends and family ,, they all agreed she "nailed it". The experience was exhilarating, but physically exhausting. she choreographed artistic poses, and personally demonstrated them, poses I didn't think my body could handle, I was sore for two days LOL, ! But she was attentive and patient. if you ever want to use photography to share your story I highly recommend iris from Brooklyn.

I had a wonderful experience doing a boudoir/portrait photoshoot with Iris. I chose her because of…read moreher diverse and expansive portfolio -- so many boudoir photographers I researched felt like they were taking the same photo over and over with different people. What stood out about Iris's work (and absolutely came through in my own photos) is her ability to capture something truly unique about each person she works with. Throughout the entire process, I felt Iris's patience, support, and professionalism. She was incredibly responsive leading up to the shoot and genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person. On the day of, she was flexible, grounding, and an excellent director. We started with her guiding me through poses and ideas, and as I relaxed, she gave me the space to lead. It ended up feeling like we co-created something beautiful and unexpected together. The final photos are ones I absolutely love. Iris took the time to review the images with me across multiple sessions and helped me select a set that feels both stunning and representative of my many sides. I couldn't be happier with the experience or the results.

Miss Sarit came here for a photo shoot that she had been wanting to do for a while, where I mostly…read morewatched but did however participate in a few. It is located on the 11th floor, and you'll need to be buzzed up. Michelle and her assistant (?) greeted me at the door with a smile and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. I was seated on a large couch and we were ready to begin. Michelle has a number of props to use, and seems to focus on natural lighting (which is probably the best in my unprofessional opinion.) There are several widows lining the studio with a white sheer curtain which sets the backdrop for several of the photos. In addition to this, she has really big expensive lights that she does some pro-looking photographer stuff with. The thing that comes to mind is those Cover Girl commercials where they're doing a photo shoot (duh Michael.) There are also different pattern backdrops and small props such as crazy stripper high-as-hell heels and other cool stuff. Michelle and her assistant will combine their artistic vision + experience with your desires and vision. We saw the untouched up photos today and were happy with several of them. I will try to remember to update this review once I see the three touched up photos, but will probably forget.

She was extremely professional and her experience was a huge plus. She's friendly and engaging which made it very easy for us to work with.

I wish I can give Amber all the stars on the Flag.

Amber Marlowe Blatt is a nice person who needs to find a new line of work…read more I'll post a full review of my experiences with her, but here is the quick summary: - We hired her twice. The first time, she did great work. We were happy. - We hired her again a year later, to take family photos. She did the shoot. She showed me some of the work through the viewfinder and said it was wonderful. And then she called me a week later and told me that she had LOST *ALL* OF THE IMAGES! Gone. Zero. I do marketing for a living and have hired perhaps twenty photographers in my life for over a hundred photo shoots. This is the first time I had ever heard of someone losing the work for a day's session. It just doesn't happen, because it is the ultimate badge of disgrace for a photographer. So what happened? She said she was sharing her studio with some folks doing a different project, they had taken a memory card from her desk, thought it was blank, etc. There are some serious issues here -- why is someone who bills as a professional letting other people grab memory cards from her desk? Why is she selling her time for hundreds of dollars and then pulling the memory card out -- representing not just her efforts but the time and energy a family takes to coordinate schedules and dress the kids -- and then not bothering to push the write protect tab? Why is she shooting on digital media and not bothering to make a copy of the work before charging in on other projects? Or, if she is running to an emergency, can't make a copy, you might at least write on the card with a Sharpie and say "do not use" or write the date of the session or write anything? Anything at all? We could debate this over and over. But someone who can't secure their digital work should not be shooting events for a living. You cannot "redo" a wedding. You cannot "redo" a birthday or bar mitzvah or other major life event. If you care about getting quality work, you should not be hiring this person. So that was the worst phone call ever -- "Hi, it's Amber, whoops, sorry, nothing left." And then, to add insult to injury, she apologized and offered "to do the shoot again without charging us." Are you f'ing serious? That was basically offering nothing. Of course she can't charge us for a second shoot. We had paid for the first shoot, spent our time and energy, and gotten zip out of it. Through her clear and pure incompetence. And then she did the second shoot and the images were poor. We couldn't and didn't use any of them. There were even instances in the second shoot when I said things to her like "are you sure we are centered under the sign" and Amber said yes, yet we were not. Bad image. Same thing with the sunlight -- "are you sure there won't be too much shadow at this time of day?" Amber said we were okay. We were not. She clearly didn't want to do the shoot a second time, or take the time to make it right, when she knew we weren't going to use her again. So -- sorry Amber. Nice person. Needs a new job. Ben

Emily is tops! Over the years, I'd seen her work from a number of friends' weddings, and without…read moreexception was continually amazed. When it came time to find a photographer for our own wedding, there was hardly any question. We were, of course, not disappointed. Everything from the planning stage to the experience of the wedding day, to the wedding photo webpage, was professional. Emily took all of our crazy, fickle direction without batting an eye -- but also made her expectations and opinions clear as well, which helped guide us and put our minds at ease as we stressed over the details (and the prospect of subjecting the hired guns to our wacky families). Her greatest strength is in her candids -- as another review said, each one really does manage to tell a story. And when it came time to do portraits, she was a machine, managing to corral our enormous families (an amazing feat) and getting great shot after great shot, all with a smile. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family on the final photos. More "best pictures I've ever seen" than I can count. Of all of the professional pieces that were involved in putting this wedding together, the photography was the least stressful, and gave some of the greatest results. We'll treasure these forever.

I encourage anyone from New York looking for a great photographer to welcome Emily to your great city and hire her to photograph your special event!

Her and her assistant Leah are warm and welcoming (complete with snacks! Who doesn't love snacks?) and they made my maternity shoot experience one for the books. What really won me over too? They made my boyfriend, who's usually as stoic as a bear, super comfortable and laid back. Winner winner chicken dinner as far as I'm concerned.
