(+) 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.

Communication and the booking process was super easy and organized on her website. She always responded in a timely manner. She addressed all my questions and concerns. The design team that she works with is amazing and brought my vision for the balloon backdrop to life. She works with her partner/husband Ed who was also super nice and helpful; he came down to help us with our belongings when we got to the studio. The studio was so clean and airy looking; it was the perfect spot for photos with natural lighting. Melissa really showed her expertise and comfort level in taking wonder shots of our son and of us. She was able to direct us on how and where to pose and also adjust things like fixing my hair or adjusting my legs/heels so that they would not look awkward (not all photographers will do this, this comes with experience). We never felt rushed and Melissa was patient with our son. We had some suggestions after we got the edited pictures back and Melissa never made us feel bad about doing the editing over again until we were satisfied. This wonderful experience made us super happy with choosing her as our son's First Birthday Photographer and hopefully other special occasions in the future. If you guys are looking for a true professional to capture your memories then I highly recommend Melissa!!

I just recently had my Christmas 2022 photoshoot at Melissa studio and the service is terrible. You…read moreare paying close to $400 dollars plus for less than 25 mins a photoshoot. Let alone the anxiety you feel from them that you have to hurry up with the photoshoot. Her husband works with her an suffers from extreme OCD so half of your photoshoot session will be cut in half due him cleaning. As far as the turnaround to getting your proofs is also awful and takes such a long time to receive them. This should not be the case if your paying over $400 dollars for less than 25 mins a session. My advice coming from a business background is that you will slowly lose more customers that way because it's not an enjoyable experience when you feel a pressure from the photographer to hurry up when it's suppose to be the opposite a pleasant experience. This is my second time booking with Melissa and I won't book again because of the awful experience. Don't waste your money there is other photographers out there with the same set up, more time and the ability to choose more pictures without feeling robbed.

I had always noticed the photos she took which adorned the walls of her office at Paramount where she and I had worked together. When she decided to leave her job as an executive at Paramount and pursue photography as her means of livelihood, I had no doubt that she would be a success at that as well as in the entertainment industry. I hired her to shoot my wedding in 1998 and the photos turned out fabulously. If you know me well, you'd know that I almost never like photos of myself :-O and I am a perfectionist. Well, I was extremely happy with the results. Laurie's style of documentary shooting is just stunning in her ability to capture a moment, a thought, and an essence in a single photo. She truly loves her work and it shows in the way she interacts with people whether from behind the camera or on the street. I recommend Laurie's work wholeheartedly! The funniest thing is that the folks who hire Laurie to shoot their weddings, end up hiring her again to shoot their babies photos in a year or two following the wedding! --Judy

While some might know her as a home photographer, I explored her works in the natural light/outside and was impressed by how well Ksenia handles the natural light settings. Ksenia was a pure pleasure to work with from the very moment I reached out to her to the final stage, where we had to choose our favorite photos. We did not have a specific plan, so I asked Ksenia for a place suggestion, and she proposed two places: both really interesting and cool. She took care to explore the places and their light settings at different times of day before our photoshoot, as she knew that I wanted a perfect natural light. Ksenia showed a lot of flexibility during the photoshoot, proposing and suggesting some scenes and moves, as well as incorporating my husband's and mine suggestions. The whole experience felt natural and easy. Kseniya is professional, courteous, accommodating, and most importantly, she has a true talent that empowers her to capture wonderful moments and turn them into beautiful pictures! I would love her to photograph my kids at some point. We are definitely coming back!
