(+) She is flexible on going to location (+) She does weddings, engagements, photoshoots, documentary, headshots, food photography, newborns, boudoir, etc. Cons: (-) None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't even begin to explain how amazing Sirin is to work with. I've used her services countless amount of times. I distinctly remember one time when I working on a celebrity photoshoot for a magazine, the original photographer that was hired to document behind the scenes did not show up. At a last minute whim, I had suggested to the Creative Director for the magazine to use Sirin since she was highly recommended to me. After he agreed, within a few minutes notice, Sirin rushed all the way to Brooklyn to be there. She saved the day and took amazing photos!!! She knew exactly what she was doing! Not only that, we got the photos within 2 days! I was ecstatic! I've hired her for several events since then and have not been disappointed since. She has a keen eye for capturing the most natural moments. I had even suggested her to my friends who are getting married to do their engagement photoshoot. I actually went with my friends to meet Sirin and I recorded the behind the scenes of the photoshoot which you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YeZq-E6Nv4 Sirin was so amazing! I couldn't believe how fast she was after that photoshoot. Her turn around time for those engagement photos was 3 days and my friends were in tears after seeing their engagement photos. I have to admit....I cried too! Don't judge. lol Hey...you would cry too! http://www.sirinsamman.com/Weddings/Weddingsetc/i-fNTc83h She has an impressive portfolio and I've seen her even work with celebrities such as Barbara Walters, Colin Powell, Julianne Moore, Claudia Jordan and more. I know this will not be the last time that I will work with her and I'm quite positive that I will have another updated review about her very soon.

Finding the right wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions in our wedding…read moreplanning process. My now husband and I are truly honored and fortunate to have had the chance to work with Rebecca Yale. Rebecca is truly an amazing wedding photographer and the first person we signed after booking our venue. She was always so quick and responsive to our emails and offered her advice and suggestions throughout the entire process. Rebecca was such an asset to our whole wedding experience--organized, calming, super friendly, bubbly, warm and amazingly talented. Her love and passion for what she does is obvious and her dedication to creating the most perfect shots for us from all angles and right types of lighting was truly inspiring. She's not afraid to take control and direct to get the shots she wants while still being polite and professional to other vendors. During the shoot, Rebecca paid attention to every little detail- helping me adjust my dress and positioning us to get the most complimenting angle. I wanted someone who I knew I could trust to capture our special day, as it was, and all the emotions of our guests and the gorgeous scenery. She helped make the wedding day run smoothly and documented it thoroughly and beautifully. We received 7 edited preview photos at 1AM, 3 hours after our wedding ended!! Her dedication and brilliance set her aside from other photographers and we cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding day gallery. Thank you Rebecca Yale for capturing the most important day of our lives!

My fiance and I got engaged in NYC, and even though we didn't live there, we wanted to have our…read moreengagement photos taken throughout the city, particularly in Grand Central where we got engaged. After looking at a TON of photographers online, we chose Rebecca for two reasons: 1) her blog/portfolio was amazing, and 2) she was by far the most responsive photographer we tried to contact. Rebecca was in constant email contact with us, asking us how we met, where we got engaged, what ideas we had for our photo shoot. When we got to NYC, she also some location ideas of her own, and those ended up being our favorite!! We were able to relax and shoot easy with her, and she was very professional, on time, and got us our photos in a very quick turnaround time. Both my fiance and I LOVED our photos, and our families were equally impressed and excited! The best part about Rebecca (aside from her amazing talent) is her down-to-earth attitude and willingness to dive right into your project. We actually lost (I know, I know) our entire USB with our engagement photos, and Rebecca mailed us another one immediately for a nominal fee. She is so responsive, which I cannot stress enough having dealt with many other wedding vendors who have the "I'll get to it when I get to it attitude." Very highly recommended. Incredibly professional and extremely talented!!

When we first met Erica she seemed nice. However, A week before my wedding reception, Erica's…read morefather Texted me to tell me that Erica was rushed to the hospital and is in recovery. Which obviously, we weren't upset that she couldn't do the event. However, she did tell us that she would have a back up if in the event something happened to her. I asked her father and he said that she couldn't think of anyone. We were refunded our deposit which was great and at that point it was, what it was. I mean you can't be upset at a person for being unwell. Unexpectedly, we received an Email from Erica a few days later asking if we wanted to do a photoshoot that week for 30 min. I have photos attached to this review for reference. After her email, I realized it was all a lie.. she obviously sent that out with out seeing our thread of conversation and accidentally. I replied to the email, but recieved no email in turn. I would just like to say, yes she is affordable, but not reliable. Do not waist your time. Find someone who is reliable and professional, even if you have to dish out more money!!! BEWARE!!

Zero stars. Truly one of the most unprofessional and frustrating experiences I've ever had…read more I booked a spring photo shoot with my dog for Saturday morning and planned everything in advance -- grooming, hair, makeup, timing -- the whole thing. Sehee completely forgot about the shoot. I waited, called, and texted with no response, only for her to eventually call me back and casually say she had just woken up. When I asked what I should do, instead of taking accountability or trying to fix the situation, she asked to reschedule for the next day -- when it was supposed to rain, which is exactly why I carefully planned for today. At that point, I was already out time, money, and effort -- standing there fully ready with my freshly groomed dog -- for absolutely nothing. To make things worse, about an hour later she posted on Instagram that she was late to another photoshoot because she had partied too hard watching Coachella, but said it was "worth it." That is beyond disrespectful and completely unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. This was not just an inconvenience -- it was careless, unprofessional, and honestly insulting as a paying client. I expect a full refund immediately. I would strongly discourage anyone from booking here if reliability and basic professionalism matter to you.

However, she was so funny and easygoing, and it felt more like taking photos with my best friend than doing a professional shoot. We were laughing and chatting the whole time, but she was also incredibly fast and efficient, so I ended up getting way more photos than she had promised. Her professionalism and friendly energy created such a relaxed atmosphere, and even though I usually feel awkward in front of the camera, this time I felt completely at ease thanks to her natural gift.

I was a bit reluctant to the whole idea as I feel super uncomfortable in front of the camera, and even more skeptical to include the pups. They are full of energy and never stay in one place. I really wanted the photos to look natural and not forced. Once we looked over Luizas work we decided to schedule a meeting to discuss in detail what we were hoping to get out of the shoot. She was very flexible with all of our requests and clear about what we can expect within our price range. We were able to book our shoot just 10 days after the initial meeting! On the day of the shoot Luiza arrived early, with all the necessary equipment and most importantly an awesome attitude. She remained professional and was very caring with our dogs, which made them feel super comfortable. She didn't even mind all the jumping and some gentle nibbles :). We were very impressed with how she handled them, which in return made US feel sooo much more comfortable. We both had such a blast! We will definitely use her services again. Our edited photos were ready very quickly and we could not be happier. We got a ton of compliments from our friends and family.

Not only she was able to accommodate me at my chosen time, but also gave me a great discount! She is very professional, nice and super to talk to. Knows everything about making a perfect picture, trust me on that! The whole shoot lasted about 2 hours, and pretty much visited the whole Central Park! She is very well equipped, knows everything about angles, light and time when to take a picture! Yes, that's important!

Originally we were set to get married in DUMBO on 8/27/11, but were forced to turn our rehearsal dinner on 8/26/11 in the Village in to our actual wedding because of Hurricane Irene. We ended up having pictures taken in Washing Square Park and, with no location prep at all, the pictures came out better than I could've imagined. Kat was more than willing to accommodate and made everyone feel comfortable. Our ceremony ended up being in a tiny back room down the street and with limited space, Kat did a great job at capturing the entire event. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Her creativity, artistic ability…read moreand vast expertise in still photography allowed her to capture important moments ranging from birthdays, weddings to maternity. It was our pleasure working with Sandra for our engagement session and our wedding day. Her warm personality and calm demeanor made it easy for us to pose naturally in front of the camera. Our greatest photo that Sandra captured was the dip pose which, she carefully crafted with detailed guidance and patience until we got just the perfect shot. Her years of experience and multitude of knowledge help guide all our eight member bridal party and made us looked so natural in our wedding photos. Sandra keeps up with all of her current state-of-the art technology such as her infrared camera which made our photos looked AMAZING and unique. During our search for photographers, we learned that not all photographers had professional grade equipment so we wanted to make sure our photographer was equipped to provide us the best quality photos to remember our special moments. Sandra was not only a great photographer but, she went out of her way to be helpful in every way and even coordinated our timeline for us since she had so much experience with weddings. On our special wedding day, she was confident of her work and did not let any unexpected issues throw her off from her focus which comforted me throughout the day. If you are looking for a truly professional still photographer that will be interactive and creative to take those shots of your most memorable moments, I would strongly recommend Sandra Reid because she will surpass all your expectations as she has done for us!
