We took our photos in DUMBO, and at no point did she direct us to do anything we weren't comfortable with or didn't like. Shafon has a great eye, and both the black and white and colored photos turned out great. She has a lot of high quality products for displaying photos, and I was really impressed seeing her other shoots like a newborn shoot that was really natural but well shot. I would highly recommend anyone looking for authentic engagement photos to work with Shafon.

We've had many photo shots before, and most turn out like your ordinary glossy pics with standard poses and your average backdrops but Katrin sees outside the box. Through her lens she captures emotions that someone only with true grasp of photography can. She first tries to learn about your personality and then incorporates that in her art. She of course has her own style but ensures that your needs are also met. As a person she is someone you'd like to go grab drinks with. And this down to earth and eccentric personality of hers helps you loosen up and do things outside of your comfort zone, which at the end leaves you with truly memorable pictures. I'd gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a photo shot, especially if you'd like something that's unique.

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

I was so happy with the gallery that when it was time to take newborn photos for my second and third babies, it was an easy decision to have Vitalia capture these special moments. For all three of my children, I chose the newborn platinum session. I am so glad I went with this package, as Vitalia was able to capture so many beautiful images. Vitalia is incredibly kind, patient, and friendly, and my babies were always in the best of care in her hands. Even though I live in Queens, New York, and Vitalia traveled from New Jersey, she arrived on time and fully professional. Vitalia came prepared with all the necessary equipment, props, outfits, and accessories to make each session run smoothly and efficiently. We never felt rushed throughout the entire process. Vitalia truly has a way with babies, and all three of mine were not fussy and slept through their entire sessions. Thank you so much for capturing these memories for us during our third newborn platinum session!

We were looking for a newborn photography session on short notice so we were grateful that she was able to accommodate us with a few days notice and come to our home in Brooklyn, NY. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Vita has a natural gift for working with babies. We were amazed by how gentle and patient she was with our daughter, even bringing a portable heater to keep her warm and comfortable. She took her time to get the perfect shots and even captured rare moments of our daughter smiling. We were also impressed by the wide variety of props she brought, which added creativity and personality to the photos. We're so happy we chose Vita to capture this important milestone and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented newborn photographer.

Luckily, we were recommended Cynthia by a friend in the arts and despite it being a bit last minute, she was able to squeeze us into her schedule on the date we wanted. In typical NYC fashion, it rained (more like poured) on our day but our small crew had prepared umbrellas and was ready to see it though. They became the perfect accessory! The pictures came out romantic, sweet with a dash of melancholy - infused with the vibes of the city and reflective of our introverted selves. We felt immediately at ease and relaxed with Cynthia, like we had known her forever! No matter the weather conditions, she took her and her crew took it with stride and their experience & professionalism were amazing. I couldn't have imagined a better team. We had a blast being creative and exploring the hidden spaces of the neighborhood. She truly captured our spirit and to this day when I look back at the photos, I can still remember all the laughter and fun vibes we had together during the shoot. Definitely would like to work with her again; she's got wonderful skills, a great eye and overall a truly lovely person to have with you on your special day!
