First of all, her work speaks for itself. I chose Harshita because the quality of her photos…read morereally stood out compared to a few other photographers I was considering. She doesn't use filters, the photos have such great lighting and color and her eye for editing is really pure. I used Avnida Photography for my son's first birthday photoshoot and cake smash. The photos turned out great. Also I had a few requests and Harshita was so pleasant to work with, was able to fit me in and work with my requests. Glad I found her and looking forward to our next photoshoot. Definitely recommend,

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AVNIDA PHOTOGRAPHY…read more Harshita, the photographer, will NOT reach out to you once your shoot is over. You will have to beg for your photos and realize you're communicating with someone who is intentionally ghosting you. I'm reaching 2 months now with no photos and quite frankly tired of chasing her down. Since the photoshoot, I never received any communication from Harshita about any timeline. I'm reading the contract agreement and there's no promised time frame either for clients to receive their photos. At this point I'm wondering if I'm ever going to receive anything????? These are precious newborn photos that can't be redone. If you read all the recent reviews, this seems to be her business model - ghosting her clients. Please read all the recent yelp and google reviews to educate yourself. She's terrible at communicating through email. I had to send 2 emails each time to get a response of what date the shoot was going to be, what time, and what the address was...which should have sent alarm bells but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She has a talent with newborns and is a personable person but absolutely cannot be trusted to do business with. She was recommended to us through family who used her years ago. From all the positive reviews that are several years old...it tells me she may have been operating very well back then but something clearly changed between then and now. I understand she is a one woman show running this business- which I have full respect for and was trying not to be pushy. But to not communicate anything for 2 months is completely unacceptable. When I texted her asking why I wasn't receiving a response through email, she said "there's some issue with her email." Don't you love excuses? I'm now not receiving any responses through text either. I'm appalled and very upset this is happening. She is charging $799 for the "My Love Newborn" collection and all packages requires a $225 deposit you can kiss goodbye. This is by no means a cheap service and the very least I expect as a client is good communication and deliverables. Please save yourself the heart ache and not conduct business with Avnida Photography. I will update my review when I finally receive my photos.

I had never had any professional pictures taken of me either, so I was nervous I wouldn't know what to do. I'm definitely not a model & usually a little awkward lol. Jessica made me feel so comfortable & guided me on exactly how to pose to make me feel beautiful. I had originally booked her to come to my home, but after a renovation disaster she was able to book me at her NYC studio without any problem. It was such a fun and stress free experience. So glad I'll have these photos to look back on years from now. I'll definitely be booking her motherhood photoshoot after my daughter is born.

A few years ago I received a friend's holiday card which included several photos of her children…read more Among the many holiday photo cards I had received, this one was exceptional. The energy and playfulness of the kids jumped off the page. I had been wanting to have my own children photographed for several years, and I called my friend to get the name of her photographer: Axelle Destaing. Working with Axelle is a real pleasure and the results are beautiful and heart warming. The day she came to photograph my three children (ages 5, 7, and 13), they had all woken up 2 hours earlier than usual. They were extraordinarily grumpy, and I thought there was no way the photos would turn out well. However, they were fabulous. Axelle was just as good with my 5 year old as she was with my teenager. She was the perfect blend of serious and fun, and she was incredibly patient. She had terrific ideas about activities and settings that would work well. Moreover, Axelle is very reasonable cost-wise; she's also organized and she communicates well. I've recommended her to friends who have all loved her as well. I will call on her for years to come for events and to capture my kids as they grow.

Her fun, upbeat personality to keeping the pace lively as she made sure we and our son were comfortable throughout the whole process made the four hours we spent in her apartment fly by as we chatted like old friends. She never broke her rhythm of keeping our son cozy and us entertained with coffee and her large screen TV in her living room where she works out of. The end product? Breathtaking! Everyone is biased with seeing pictures of their own kids, but I have never heard so many compliments over photos--and rightfully so--they are amazing! I'd also highly recommend getting the metal portraits that hang on the wall; they are everything she said they'd be--light, easy to clean and no worries about tearing the canvas when you have to move them. My husband and our extended family are so happy with what Emily did, I'd recommend her to anyone with a 1000% guarantee. I'm so glad we will have these pictures to treasure for the rest of our lives! .
