Our family was warmly greeted by Olga, the owner, upon arrival. My first impression of her was that she was friendly, professional and passionate about photography. The space was carefully curated and immaculate. Olga made some small talk with us before she led us to the photo room where our white background and professional camera setup was ready for us. The lighting was flattering and the room was spacious for the four of us to maneuver in. She allowed us to get our small luggage settled before going through an explanation about how the process worked, gave us pointers on how to pose in front of the mirror camera and take the best photos. After that, she left the room and let us take full creative reign. Olga remained outside touching up photos for the most part, but she knocked two or three times just to let us know we were out of frame or if we needed some assistance with our crying daughter, which I fully appreciated. The whole experience was stress-free and we enjoyed every single minute taking pictures at our own pace and changing into different outfits. The time really flew by and when we were done, we walked out and she shared the photos with us immediately via Google link. Our family loved the experience so much that we bought a few gift cards to gift to family and I'm about to buy a few more. Thanks Olga--we will definitely be back!

What really stands out is his ability to capture genuine, joyful moments. He doesn't just take pictures -- he creates an atmosphere where laughter and real smiles happen naturally.

Jessie has a rare gift: she makes you feel seen before she ever picks up the camera…read more I came to Luminous Space for personal branding photography, not entirely sure how to show up or what I wanted the images to say about me. Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

Buyer beware. The shoot went fine, but the photo I got out of it was not…read more First of all, note that she only releases *one* photo to you--one raw and one edited version! This is not at all clear from the website marketing, which states: * Photos Taken: 30-50 images * Retouched Images: 1 professionally edited photo (selected on-site) Apparently you also get only 1 raw image, though this is not stated. You have to immediately go through a lengthy three-phase process to choose that photo --no consulting with friends/partners. Okay, so maybe I should have found the fine print, but it turns out "professionally edited" means "created by AI." It generated an image that looks like a 25-year-old digital avatar of me, quite different from the original photo. The website also claims that "We offer 2 rounds of free revisions," but I have not received a response a week after asking for one. So, I'm using the raw image, which is fine.

Pretty perfect day! I felt beautiful, comfortable and most importantly had so much FUN. I have wonderful memories from this whole experience! I'm sure you're sick of hearing it but THANK YOU! It must be so fulfilling to have a job where you get to make women feel like the best versions of themselves.

A boudoir photo shoot had been on my bucket list for a long time. I was engaged and thought it…read morewould be the perfect wedding gift, but can't say it wasn't a gift to myself as well. I researched different photographers and Andrea caught my eye for 2 reasons: her beautiful, timeless and elegant photos and her dialogue around doing a boudoir photo shoot. She starts with introspective questions about what you want to portray in your photos. She nurtures a healthy body image along the way and makes you feel your best from the inside out. That is truly her magic. The day itself was so special where I got to step out of my normal routine and into the routine of a super model. Andrea and her team had every detail worked out, so I could just relax and go with it. I visited Andrea again to review the photos to choose my favorites. There were too many and I ended up making the book bigger to solve that "problem." The end product is two books (boudoir + fine art) full of beautiful, professional photos. I gifted the book the morning of our wedding day and my now husband was absolutely floored. They now live on his nightstand and we both look at the often. Thank you, Andrea! When can we do it again?!?!

Whether it be an intimate self-shot session where you control when the shutter snaps or a guided booking with a professional photographer to nail down those angles, you can do it all. A huge shoutout to the business owner, Hyemee, for curating the best self-portrait studio experience possible. Located on the second floor of a commercial building, Near & Dear can be easily accessed by taking a flight of stairs. You'll find a sign that points directly to the studio door. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by Hyemee who was eager to show us the ropes. She shared tips on how to position ourselves, directed us to the available props, and offered herself as a resource for any questions or concerns. There are a variety of background colors to select from (white, blue, purple, pink, etc.) and cute minimalist stools to sit on! My boyfriend and I did a self-shot session where we had a blast experimenting with the props and capturing our cute moments together. When we were done, Hyemee loaded all our photos onto the computer and requested we narrow them down to our top 5. At one point, I had a hard time picking between two photos and requested her opinion, which she kindly obliged! Once we were set on our 5 photos, she got to editing them right away. They were printed and AirDropped to our phones within 10-15 minutes. You can also purchase additional photos if your selected 5 aren't enough (we did! ;-)). One thing I appreciate about Near & Dear is that the presets/editing style for the photos is GORGEOUS! Other studios usually just give you the raw/unedited versions which is fine too, but the extra step of editing just goes to show how much they care about making your experience feel like an all-inclusive service. Aside from studio sessions, Hyemee also does professional couple/engagement shoots--she was a photographer before she opened this studio and it shows in the way she cares about her clients. Definitely book her for your special moments! I can't recommend Near & Dear enough--will be back in the future!

As soon as you enter the studio, you can tell that everything was carefully picked out and thought about. All the decorations and props were super cute!

They played with them while my boyfriend and I took our pictures first. And then they helped us take pictures with our 2 dogs! They were super patient as we picked out our photos and even printed out some film prints for us to take home! We loved our experiences and how our pictures came out. After it was edited, you can really see all the love and time Hyemee put into these pictures. What sets their photos aside from other studios is that it's not super bright and gives a homey/cozy feel. My dogs didn't even want to leave after because he fell asleep in their laps!
