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!

Best experience with Julia Rozental!!!! Just had a newborn photoshoot and I can't thank Julia…read moreenough. She is a true professional and really loves what she does. As a first time mom, I was nervous about the whole process and handling the baby, but Julia took all concerns away and we even walked out with some helpful tips for the baby. Julia works with her husband Roman, who is also very knowledgeable and helpful with babies. I've never seen two people work so well and in sync together. The studio is very warm and cozy, so the babies don't get cold. My baby slept through the entire shoot, and if she was getting even a little fussy, Julia had the best ways to soothe her.   I can not recommend Julia and Roman enough, and will definitely be coming back for any future shoots.  If you are looking for someone who is professional and loves and cares for what she does, hands down Julia Rozental is your photographer!!! Thank you Julia and Roman for such an amazing experience, we were truly blown away!

She is great to work with bc she's so patient esp with the babies, knowledgeable about getting the best photos and professional. For the 1st birthday sessions, it is very hard to get good photos of your baby during this stage but Mickey had so many tips, was so understanding and patient. I was very impressed with how she didn't give up and gave us so much time in order to get the best photos. For our big extended family session with 22 people (including grandparents and 7 kids ranging from teens to toddlers), she scouted out different locations for us and was so easy to work with. Getting photos for such a big group is definitely not easy but Mickey made it seem so! Most importantly, I love all the photos from all of our sessions we've had. It's such a precious keepsake for us to cherish that time period. I can't say enough great things about Mickey! I will definitely be using her again for future photos!

Amazing experience with Lily - best bridal look ever!…read more I can't recommend Lily enough! She did my bridal makeup and also styled the groom's hair - and the results were absolutely perfect. My makeup looked flawless in person and in every single photo. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day. Natural but elevated - exactly what I dreamed of. And I have to add: she also made the groom look super handsome! His hair was styled perfectly - clean, sharp, and very photogenic. We both felt confident and camera-ready all day. Lily is professional, sweet, and so talented. If you're looking for a makeup artist (and even groom hair styling!), don't hesitate - book her now.

Lily's makeup skills are fine, but I would not recommend her due to repeated issues with…read moreprofessionalism and communication. I originally booked her for my wedding day in advance. While the makeup application itself was good, I did not feel prioritized as the bride. She was working on another client at the same time at the studio, someone taking photos at her studio, which caused delays and ultimately made me late for my own photoshoot. On such an important day, I expected to be the focus, and that was disappointing. She did not communicate in advance that she was double booked on that day. More recently, we confirmed a 3pm appointment for a wedding I was attending. However, a few days before, she called to say she would no longer be available at that time and could only do 12pm, without a clear explanation or apology. It left me scrambling to find an alternative. I dont mind if she needed to cancel, but suddenly she made it seems like I was inconveniencing her schedule. And to me, that was very unprofessional. Pricing and expectations are also not clearly communicated, and frequent mentions of tips felt unprofessional. Overall, while she has talent, reliability, transparency, and respect for a client's time are essential--especially for important events--and that was consistently lacking in my experience. For anyone looking for a more dependable experience, I ended up going with Dream Wedding on 150th, and they were professional, organized, and respectful of my time. And most of all the makeup looked polished and amazing!!! Ask for Sue :) Thanks Lily for canceling on me last minute because I was able to find Sue!!!
