The appointment lasted about 30 minutes and I got around 65 photo options out of it. Once I selected the one that I wanted retouched, Joyce was able to get it back to me the next day. She was very professional the whole way through and the end product looked excellent. I would highly recommend coming here for anyone looking to get headshots.

Wonderful experience, exceptional value! These are 4 words that only describe the cusp of my…read moreexperience with Briliana Photography. I'm currently pregnant with our first child and wanted to capture timeless maternity photos of myself and my partner. I honestly wasn't sure where to begin. Most of my friends and family have had children long ago and used Sears or JCPenney. Not that the latter is a bad thing, but it wasn't the style I envisioned. So I took my search to Instagram. With one hashtag, Brilianna was among a few businesses the came up. I made a quick and easy inquiry and the rest was history. From the very first call, Irina was so easy to work with. She asked me what I had in mind then gave me a full rundown of her services. Moreover, she was honest with her capabilities. We had an out of box idea that we wanted to try as an announcement. She was honest that she'd try but her expertise was more timeless than comedic. We ended up not doing it and not because of Irina, but because we no longer felt it was necessary. After that first call, I felt confident booking with her and canceled all other business inquiries. I booked the 'Classic Session' which included a fully guided session, professional makeup and styling, and up to 4 looks. As part of the looks, you have the option of using their beautiful gowns and wraps for your photos. For me, this took a large load off of me. Imagine having to buy 4 different dresses for a maternity shoot and on top of that, figure out sizing, transport, etc. It would've been a hassle (just an FYI - you can bring your own, but her selection is soooo beautiful and high quality, there is no need to!). More than the gowns, I think this was just a great value for everything provided. Most of the photographers I had found during my search, did not include nearly as much as I received. After paying my deposit, Irina remained communicative and I received an easy guide that helped my partner and I fully prepare for our session. Fast forward to the day of our session, it felt like such a relaxing day. The studio is spacious, clean, and modern. I got straight to hair and makeup with Kristen. She was a gem - very kind, welcoming, attentive, and helpful from start to finish. I loved her work as well. Kristen did a soft glam look with beautiful blending. In addition, she added soft waves to my hair that held up nicely throughout the shoot and the rest of the day. Later in the morning, Irina came in and worked her magic. I showed her the looks I wanted and she gave her expertise on what would work best. Kristen acted as a stylist and helped keep me flawless throughout the shoot, while Irina guided me. I was nervous taking photos in my pregnant body. But Irina did a great job guiding me and encouraging me to relax. Her being a mom as well, it was nice to have her reassurance and tips. We went thru each look, including a few with my partner. At some points, I even began to cry because the experience of this moment with my partner was really heart warming. It felt very full circle. No doubt, Irina captured everything I wanted for my maternity photos - love, timelessness, and happiness. As promised, she returned the unedited proofs to us within a week and we made our final selections. I'm now waiting for the finished result but I am very pleased with the proofs. My package included 10 photos and it was truly hard to choose. That's how great her shots were! I've included some candid shots in this review which my partner took during the session. This is just to show how awesome the team worked to prep me and position me throughout the session. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my experience at Brilianna Photography. Irina has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was she communicative, but her work speaks for itself. I cannot wait to work with her again once my bundle of joy arrives. If you are looking for a seamless, stress-free experience, don't hesitate to book with Brilianna! Highly recommended!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for these amazing artists!…read more I was initially a bit hesitant about whether it would be worth it to spend the time and money to take maternity portraits; a dear friend encouraged me to take the leap, and I am so so glad I decided to and even more delighted that I found Glow Portraits. If you are considering it and can budget for it, let me be the one to encourage you to DO IT. Thank me later :) Communication was superb. Sophie responds very quickly to questions via phone and email from before booking to session prep to post shoot follow up. Anabella, our photographer, was incredible. She made the experience a complete pleasure, and gave very precise directions that made for simply stunning shots. I often feel a bit awkward on camera, but somehow she got both me and my love posing like pros. The makeup artist also did a truly beautiful job. The proofs and finished images are beyond gorgeous. It was so tough to choose our favorites (we ended up buying some extra images because there were too many we loved). If you're looking at the galleries on their site (like I was) and wondering whether your images can possibly come out as ethereal and magical, the answer is YES. 6/5 stars for the amazing team at Glow Portraits. Thank you for everything!!!

WOW, what an incredible experience from start to finish…read more I booked a maternity session, but unfortunately, my daughter arrived two months early and I had to cancel it. I was heartbroken -- not just because I missed the chance to document my pregnancy, but because everything felt so overwhelming at the time. But what truly blew me away was the kindness and care Sophie showed. She continued to check in on me and my baby as time went on including throughout our NICU journey. A year later, I reached back out to book a baby session -- and it turned out to be even more special. Not only did I finally get the experience and memories that I'd dreamed of, but I got to share it with my daughter who is now healthy, thriving, and full of life. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking, and I will be forever grateful to Sophie and the team at glow portraits for turning such a difficult chapter in my life into beautiful memories that we can cherish forever.

The whole process was seamless. Michael was great to work with when it came to scheduling and confirming everything, and the building was easy to find. I took his advice and had the Uber go to the building across the street and it worked like a charm. Dapheney and Philipp were so wonderful when it came to hair and makeup. I felt gorgeous and just told them to do their thing based on what they thought would look best. (And as a bonus, I got to look hot when seeing a Broadway show that night.) I felt like an old Hollywood screen siren. Raya was professional and INCREDIBLE. I used some of her costumes and she helped me feel way more comfortable than I ever thought I could in my skin. She knew the right lighting and angles to bring out my best features, and did I mention it was so FUN? I didn't know I could pose like that. I was able to see all the photos within a day and was blown away by her skill. My boyfriend was so impressed too and had a hard time choosing his favorites because there were so many good ones. We hope to do a session as a couple someday in the future when visiting NYC. If you're thinking about doing a session, book it! This is a present you'll give yourself and it's so worth it.

She gives her utmost attention to her craft. She's quick to respond. She values her time and the quality & care she can put into your session/photos so she is very clear when she is at (or getting close to reaching) capacity with her client load. Since she works with newborns in the hospital, we trusted Michelle with our newborn baby boy as she maneuvered him into balls and buckets for the cutest pics we've ever seen. She was able to soothe him to quiet down and relax for nearly 5 hours worth of photos in our apartment. He even smiled in so many of them. We had an epic, long, great session with our babe and Michelle... because we listened to all the advice she gave us prior to coming (ie: get the room nice and warm to be conducive for sleeping, feed him 2x right before she arrived, have a pacifier on hand, etc). We even learned a new way to calm him to sleep by rubbing his forehead & between his eyes ;-) We also ended up upgrading our session to a pricier package after we received our first round of photos so that we could get more final edited photos since it was so hard to pick. The only thing I wish is that I could trade some of the package options (printed pics / printed tri-fold) for more digital images instead. However, Michelle was clear from the get-go that the options were not able to be customized like that before booking. Overall, wonderful experience and I'm sure we'll be using her again!
