I had a wonderful experience working with Stephanie. I initially reached out because I was looking…read moreto update my professional digital presence, although she specializes in boudoir photography, she was fantastic to work with for branding photos. From the start, Stephanie was incredibly organized and thoughtful. She shared helpful prep info ahead of the shoot and made sure I felt comfortable and prepared going in. During the sessions she gave clear guidance on posing and expression, which made the whole process feel natural fun and relaxed - especially helpful if you're someone who isn't used to being in front of the camera! What stood out most was how supportive and encouraging she was throughout the shoot. She has a great eye for lighting and small adjustments that make a big difference in how the photos turn out. The final images came out beautiful - polished, natural and exactly the kind of elevated look I was hoping for. From beginning, middle and end, Stephanie creates a comfortable and positive environment. She cares about helping people feel confident and their "best selves" in front of the camera, I would definitely recommend booking with her and would return again!

I recently had my second shoot with Stephanie at Brooklyn Boudoir. The first was for my 40th…read morebirthday, and this one was a pregnancy shoot. I was so nervous the first time around, and Stephanie did an incredible job of answering all my questions beforehand, soothing my fears, and making me feel comfortable in front of the camera. BUT, I have to say, coming in this second time without any of those hangups was absolute gold. We had so much fun just playing and creating incredible shapes and poses with my body. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to focus on and Stephanie did that beautifully, but added so many more ideas. I am thrilled with the gallery that came out of this shoot, and can't wait to find an excuse to do another. Her work is gorgeous and looking at the photos makes me feel like a work of art, boosting my confidence every time I see them.

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!

As a Mom to young kids herself, Amy's playful nature and fun personality meant my kids were giggling and having so much fun.

When I saw my picture previews I was stunned, even before editing. For once the attention was on me and I felt so special. Noelle truly has a wonderful gift and my session with her felt therapeutic. If you're on the fence, this is your sign to DO IT! You will be so happy you chose Noelle. I absolutely can't wait to see my pictures and to give my hubby-to-be his photo book!

We felt so comfortable after we started, and her creativity resulted in some AMAZING photos. She was open to suggestion and we felt the collaborative effort to get some beautiful shots. Some professionals just tell you where to stand, go through the motions, and drive off. We never felt that. She is so passionate about her craft and takes pride in what she presents to her clients. We're lucky we were able to influence the shoot and recreate some pictures. I don't know if we would have had that experience elsewhere. Good thing we never have to find out. I wouldn't hesitate to call her again when the next opportunity comes up!

Her style seems so fluid- not posed or static, capturing the true 'feeling' of the wedding day. From first contacting her until now, we could not have been happier. She worked with our budget to try to find exactly what we needed. She has always been prompt to respond to any questions, very reasonable with all of our requests, and just a really nice person to deal with! She really made our wedding day go very smoothly. She went to our venue earlier to scout out all the spots and the ideal locations for photos. She was unobtrusive, flowing into the course of the day, and helped guide us when we needed some direction (with her very gentle voice and cool accent!). We have to say, she handled everything with aplomb and made the day more fun for us too! Afterwards, we received our photos and they exceeded our expectations! It held true to the style we were hoping for, and she captured every detail and the joy of the day perfectly. We are so grateful that we found her and know that if we have any other big moments coming up, we know who to call to help capture our memories!

I'm going to start calling her the baby whisperer because watching her with my baby was incredible.

Everything felt easy and efficient without ever feeling rushed. She's also just genuinely lovely, kind, and warm, which made the whole experience even better. And most importantly, the pictures came out AMAZING. I'm very happy with them. I honestly can't recommend Paula enough. If you're looking for a newborn photographer, use her.
