Y'ALL! My headshot session with Kristina went beyond smoothly...despite me being unsure of exactly…read morewhat I wanted at times lol. Mind you, I booked my session super impromptu as I needed the headshots taken, edited, and ready within a couple of days. She worked very fast responding to me with scheduling details, availability, and location options. VERY TIME EFFICIENT! She really has a deep understanding of the body in relationship to space, color, and also came with many creative ideas. She kept things rolling, gave great direction, and chose the perfect location so we didn't have to spend hours shooting. She made sure I was satisfied before moving on and gave me many wonderful shots to choose from without overwhelming me lol. SUPERB edits and at a great price!!! Just overall DOPE! She will definitely be booked again! HIGHLY recommended!!!

I was by far the most nervous about this decision I made of finally having a boudoir shoot . And…read moreafter much search I happen to come across A vital beauty photo - by Avital Karsilovsky .... And I think it was fate. From the initial emails to the day of , I was very happy with our communication and how at ease she made me feel , along with Tatyana who did my make up ( also spectacular) . Then the moment I feared most came , pictures and like she said within 10 mins I was completely at ease . We all have our insecurities but by the end of the shoot I was completely uplifted confident wise and felt amazing about myself , I am sure many ppl say the same but I couldn't be more grateful for my decision and over all with choosing Avital ... I can't wait to see the final product .

I write this review for anyone who needs some inspiration and that final push to fully explore…read morethemselves. I have NEVER done anything like this but it's something I suggest all women must experience at least once in their lifetime because it was simply amazing! I had no experience whatsoever but Avital posed me from my eyelashes down to my toes with such positive encouragement & energy! I had started my search with my upcoming birthday approaching & due to the world crisis / pandemic lockdown this year I knew I wouldn't be traveling or celebrating at gatherings, however I had just undergone a lot of spiritual & physical growth in the last few months because of these changes so I decided a photography shoot "might" be a nice present to myself... as well as to remember my last year in my 30's. Avital was the first of a few of my inquiries to call me back & as soon as we spoke I knew I had to look no further. We discussed all my questions & any concerns I had, & she instantly put all my worries to ease. The next few days I spent exploring what kind of sensual outfits I would like to wear & the kind of looks I would like to achieve for her to capture. We were in constant contact the next few days as she created my idea board & brought it all to life. She had also coordinated her best hair & makeup artist for me to make sure it was extra special. On the day of my shoot I felt so comfortable as I was greeted with thrill & warmth by both of them. As I was getting dolled up, Avital immediately began coordinating the outfits I brought with her own visions as well as incorporating my own thoughts, & I must say it turned out magical! I would have never envisioned half of what was actually produced. Once we started shooting, I felt her high energy come alive on set & it really worked wonders to motivate me & give my all to it. I felt beautiful, sensual, sexy, soft, excited, happy, all at one time! All the things that sometimes we forget are there in our busy lives. Avital had a true passion & eye for detail and beauty that cannot be compared! I left that day feeling so intense that I couldn't even describe it in words & this is why I strongly encourage anyone with any doubts to just do it! On the day of my final photo reveal I think she was just as excited as me, if not even more excited for how fierce the photos came out. The hardest part of the process was actually narrowing down the ones I wanted to keep. A few days later, my order was personally delivered to me & I was blown away by the beautiful packaging & detail of the entire presentation from the gift bag to the wrapping, the gorgeous prints & customized USB drive, the quality of it all was absolutely top notch. It looked so classy & elegant which was basically the theme of the entire experience. To top it off she had even added a bonus gift for me, so I cannot say enough about how from start to finish the experience was just mind blowing. If you have any reservations about your body or body type: On the day of my photo shoot I was 151lbs (which is an all time low for me in the last 20 years) Height 5'3", Bust 38.5", Waist 30", Hips 41" and what it tells me is you don't ever need to be perfect, ladies, you do not need the thinnest waistline or to be light as a feather, but you can feel perfect in your own way. This photo shoot captured a time in my life that I will forever hold very near & dear to my heart because of how much I learned about life & about myself & about what really matters when all is said & done. For me this was not a reinforcement of being sexy, But rather a huge reminder of the strength of a woman. The power of the mind is simply astounding to say the least. Once you master it, let your body follow. I am so glad I crossed paths with Avital & got to do something so empowering for myself. The last thing I need to add is that my photos have everyone SPEECHLESS & completely inspired. I am so glad it did it! You will NOT regret it either! when else will you be as young & beautiful as you are now

My wife and I have attempted to resolve an ongoing situation with this elementary school…read morephotographer (Photography by Felicia) to no avail. Most recently, Felicia has presented us as liars, for the second time, to the school, only to be disproven (again) and has now gone as far as to make a false claim in an email to the principle that I own a fake Facebook profile used to "disparage" her company. Being a local business owner, this latter point has crossed a line. Felicia is known to complain about everyone under the sun on Facebook and I have no doubt I've been affected. I would hire a lawyer for defamation, but it is unlikely such an offense would warrant enough money for a lawyer to get involved. This ongoing rift stems back to the beginning of the 2017 school year. Our son's 4th grade portrait and class photo prints were the color blue and visibly altered to the point of looking like goo. I have a photography background and understood the problems to be the result of an unchecked automated editing process or lack of quality control. Both are simple problems to correct. I began attempting to contact Felicia in November 2017 via email and phone to address the issues and received no reply. This continued through May 2018 and was accidentally brought to the previous principle's attention when I received an email from the school about an upcoming photo day and mistakenly replied to him rather than the photographer. I let the issue go for the summer. Fast forward to January 2019 and the PCA request for 5th grade yearbook photos. As we had not been shown our son's photo, I was concerned. Apparently you only get to see the photos if you pay in advance (this is an outdated practice). Given the fact that over a year later, the 4th grade picture issue had still not been addressed, we were not about to give any money to this company. In a heated series of emails (PCA members included) we were accused by Felicia of lying about paying for the 4th grade photos. We immediately disproved this by digging up a copy of the cashed check. By March 2019 I had had enough. Up to this point I had refrained from saying anything on social media, but now resorted to the threat of going public with our story on Facebook and other platforms. Felicia's response was to involve the principle and attempt to generate sympathy. My wife spoke briefly to him about this and was told we would finally get our photos. Success. We received the photos in May 2019. 18 months late. We moved on. Our daughter started kindergarten this year and problems have started again. We did not receive our daughter's photo despite leaving a check in the school office as requested. In an email to the new principle, Felicia again called us liars about paying and accused me, in writing, of using a fake Facebook profile to "disparaged" her. This is a baseless, defaming claim that I am very angry about. But given the number of other parents with their own horrible Felicia experiences, I am not surprised to hear it. After more angry emails, we finally received our daughters picture, but no class picture. And despite being told not to contact me twice, Felicia continues to include me in emails sent to my wife and the principle whom she has only shared a skewed version of why I am so "mean" to her. I could go on and on, but there is a problem here that is not being addressed. For 3 grades now we have been unable to share school photos with grandparents at the holidays. Our kids went without school photos on the fridge. No parents should be treated this way. School photos are supposed to bring back good memories. Not this. Why Photography by Felicia continues to be hired at Sea Cliff Elementary I do not understand. Her pattern of lies and incompetence is unacceptable and any other school would have hired a more professional company by now. The thought of having to deal with her for another 5 grades makes me nauseous.

We were also always happy with our school photos (preschool) from her. I wish our public school would contract her instead of the company that shall not be named here (hint: 2 words, starts with an "L" and ends with an "H"). Felicia's pricing is reasonable and we're never disappointed!

In fact, some of the best shots I was not even aware she took. She has a real knack for kids and our little boy seem to flirt with the camera -- with many great photos to come from those intimate situations. The best of Jolene photography is her style. No "stand here", "tilt your head to the side" kind of photos. She had a theme in mind and all the photos just seemed to fit along the imaginary story line. Think cool "Rolling Stone" theme meets "Vanity Fair" photographer.

It is rare to meet people who truly are passionate about what they do and take great pride in their work--her talent is top-notch! We booked a session with Cindy, and she showed up with props (kids toys that are very aesthetic, and bubbles) and was really patient with coaxing our shy toddler out of her shell. We love that she was not trying to force any smiles or poses (which is like our experience with some photo studios), but rather trying to capture genuine expressions of happiness and laughter from our little one. The photos are very real and authentic to the personality of my daughter, so this was a great investment, to be able to document her at this stage in her life. We have worked with other photographers in the past, and their turnaround is usually several weeks. Cindy was able to get our photos to us the very next day, which is very impressive. Additionally, we received over 60 edited, hi-resolution photos, which was well over our expectation for a one-hour photo session.

Our wedding was several years ago, but since, she has photographed my pregnancy portraits and our children.

I knew she was a true professional and that our pictures would be great when we met on the boardwalk and she had approximately 10 camera bags hanging off her shoulders! Denise truly deserves her "Fearless Photographer" award--she jogged along as we rode our bikes down the crowded board walk snapping away to get our amazing shots, nearly getting run over by the other cyclists in the process (sorry about that Denise!). The photos came out so beautifully and we are so grateful that she worked with us to capture this exciting time in our lives. We will cherish the photos for years to come. I also ordered a blown-up print of one of the shots, it is very high quality and will look outstanding hung up on our wall. Thanks Denise!!
