    I did a photo shoot with Sophie of Shameless Photography a few months ago and was not only thrilled with her professionalism and enthusiasm but also with how transformative the images were. I turned into a total starlet glamor girl. For anyone who wants pinup style photos done, I highly recommend working with Sophie. She really listened to what my aesthetic preferences were as well as what my concerns were and created images that really captured my personality and made me look flawless while still looking like me. Highly recommended!

    If you want to be a queen for a day - this is your place! This was an amazing day that I will never forget. I am so happy with my pictures and with the entire experience with Maxine Nienow and her team. If you want boudoir photos or pinup photos that are creative, joyful, and sexy....this is the place to go. I was attracted to Shameless because my friend's wife had a pinup photo shoot with them where she dressed up like a 1960s Pan Am stewardess. She said it was an incredible experience and her photos came out lovely. I loved the fact that Shameless can make any woman - regardless of color, shape, size, ability status - into a pinup for one day and that they pride themselves on being so inclusive. This is a kind of woman owned and operated business that I want to support 100%. I had a vision of doing an on location photo shoot at Coney Island where I would be a pinup and/or a mermaid. When I contacted Shameless, the NYC photographer Maxine Nienow contacted me directly and let me know that was extremely excited about doing the shoot. We decided that I would have a boudoir shoot in the studio and then we would go to Coney Island for the pinup/mermaid portion. Also, the on-location fee was a reasonable addition to the package ($150). Maxine worked with me every step of the way to ensure that our vision for the shoot was clear. She asked me for examples of what inspired me, and made sure that we communicated several times before the big day so there were no surprises. They also asked for my measurements so that they could make sure that they have outfits on hand that would fit the day I arrived. They also encourage you to bring your own lingerie and outfits to wear if that is what works for you. I loved that there were so many choices available to me. The day I arrived at the studio, the Shameless team greeted me with a huge cheer. The light and airy studio is decked out with fun props, and they were playing upbeat Motown tunes to get us in the mood for the shoot. The hair and makeup specialists were so friendly and so skilled at what they did (this service is INCLUDED in the shoot fee). They had all of the vintage outfits that could be possible already picked out and we spent the first hour trying on and picking out clothes. I was made to feel not just comfortable, but a valued participant in the process. How many women can say that about a boudoir photo shoot? It was way beyond what I expected. For the first half, we spent time in the studio doing the boudoir shoot. In the second half, we traveled in Maxine's amazing silver bus out to Coney Island where we did the mermaid/pinup part of the shoot. I have never enjoyed having pictures taken to this extent before. When I received my un-retouched proofs, I was amazed at how beautiful they were. The retouched pictures are so professionally done. I've attached a few as examples so you can see their work. Maxine Nienow and her team were amazing. I highly recommend this experience to any woman who wants to feel like a queen for a day. I wish I could do it again!

    My favorite photo from the shoot!

    Every woman deserves a day like the one I had at Shameless Photography NY in Brooklyn. Probably the most magical, empowering, and fun experiences I have ever had. From sexy boudoir shoots, to fun retro pin up shoots, this place does everything! You'll be a queen for the day! I'll give a run down of how my experience went! Once you select your date and package on their website, you are promptly emailed regarding your ideas and themes for the shoot (the number of outfits is determined by your package). I decided to go with a sweets theme, a princess theme, and classic pin up bathing suit theme. Before your shoot date, you are in constant contact with the incredibly talented and wonderful Maxine Nienow, your photographer for the day. When you arrive on your shoot day, you enter this magically retro apartment filled with whimsical dresses, props, lingerie, shoes, and accessories, and it's an absolute dreamland. You meet your photographer, who was Maxine for me, and the additional women that will be assisting with your shoot for the day. My dream team consisted of Maxine, Caity, and Venetia, who made me feel amazing all day! You spend the beginning of your day trying on outfits that have been picked out for each theme of the shoot, and don't worry if you can't choose, because your team for the day is so wonderful in helping you choose what will be best and what looks best! Next is hair and makeup! They transform you into a 1950's dream for the day! Then you get dressed and it's shoot time! Maxine and Caity spent time planning out my poses so the process went so smoothly. Every pose made me feel empowered, flattering, and gorgeous! Once you receive your proofs and choose your photos, you'll feel it too! I am beyond happy with my experience at Shameless Photography and cannot wait to go back again! If you're looking for a beyond amazing day to pamper yourself and feel amazing, skip the spa and go to Shameless Photography! Thank you Maxine, Caity, and Venetia for making my shoot everything and more than I ever hoped it would be! See you again soon!

    RETOUCHED!Subtle differences but the pictures looks so beautiful!!

    If you're on the fence about booking, don't hesitate! You'll love it!…read more I had never done a photo shoot like this in my life but scheduled one for my 48th birthday and am so glad I did! The whole process was seamless. Michael was great to work with when it came to scheduling and confirming everything, and the building was easy to find. I took his advice and had the Uber go to the building across the street and it worked like a charm. Dapheney and Philipp were so wonderful when it came to hair and makeup. I felt gorgeous and just told them to do their thing based on what they thought would look best. (And as a bonus, I got to look hot when seeing a Broadway show that night.) I felt like an old Hollywood screen siren. Raya was professional and INCREDIBLE. I used some of her costumes and she helped me feel way more comfortable than I ever thought I could in my skin. She knew the right lighting and angles to bring out my best features, and did I mention it was so FUN? I didn't know I could pose like that. I was able to see all the photos within a day and was blown away by her skill. My boyfriend was so impressed too and had a hard time choosing his favorites because there were so many good ones. We hope to do a session as a couple someday in the future when visiting NYC. If you're thinking about doing a session, book it! This is a present you'll give yourself and it's so worth it.

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars for these amazing artists!…read more I was initially a bit hesitant about whether it would be worth it to spend the time and money to take maternity portraits; a dear friend encouraged me to take the leap, and I am so so glad I decided to and even more delighted that I found Glow Portraits. If you are considering it and can budget for it, let me be the one to encourage you to DO IT. Thank me later :) Communication was superb. Sophie responds very quickly to questions via phone and email from before booking to session prep to post shoot follow up. Anabella, our photographer, was incredible. She made the experience a complete pleasure, and gave very precise directions that made for simply stunning shots. I often feel a bit awkward on camera, but somehow she got both me and my love posing like pros. The makeup artist also did a truly beautiful job. The proofs and finished images are beyond gorgeous. It was so tough to choose our favorites (we ended up buying some extra images because there were too many we loved). If you're looking at the galleries on their site (like I was) and wondering whether your images can possibly come out as ethereal and magical, the answer is YES. 6/5 stars for the amazing team at Glow Portraits. Thank you for everything!!!

    WOW, what an incredible experience from start to finish…read more I booked a maternity session, but unfortunately, my daughter arrived two months early and I had to cancel it. I was heartbroken -- not just because I missed the chance to document my pregnancy, but because everything felt so overwhelming at the time. But what truly blew me away was the kindness and care Sophie showed. She continued to check in on me and my baby as time went on including throughout our NICU journey. A year later, I reached back out to book a baby session -- and it turned out to be even more special. Not only did I finally get the experience and memories that I'd dreamed of, but I got to share it with my daughter who is now healthy, thriving, and full of life. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking, and I will be forever grateful to Sophie and the team at glow portraits for turning such a difficult chapter in my life into beautiful memories that we can cherish forever.

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!
