I purchased the Groupon deal which included make-up and styling and I can't say enough good things about the entire team at YBC! I did the photo shoot with my sister and a friend and the whole team made us feel like superstars. I was completely comfortable coming out in lingerie and posing for the camera. (I'm plus sized) The entire experience was so much fun and I think everyone should do this for themselves...I felt super sexy after. Natalia did and amazing job with my hair and makeup and I would hire her to do it everyday if I could...it was stunning!! She has the Victoria's Secret curls down to a science :) I brought hair extensions and she knew exactly what to do with them. Aryeah was so good with helping me arrange my outfits and even added some of his own accessories. I usually look awkward in front of the camera because I can't pose unless I'm looking in a mirror...but he was so good at directing me and both him and Agnes made me feel like a supermodel and the poses ended up looking great!! They also worked well with all the props we had (We did the shoot in an auto garage) Agnes is very talented and has a great eye. The pictures were very different from a typical boudoir shoot and that's what I liked most about them! The pictures took a while to be delivered since this was a busy time for the team, but Agnes made sure to give us teasers to give our men and made sure to give us some extra pictures which was very nice of her! I loved everything about working with YBC and will definitely do it again! read more

I recently purchased a Groupon for a boudoir shoot with the Yellow Brick team. I was nervous about how the whole thing would play out, but the experience totally exceeded my expectations. First, they scheduled me at one of their two Manhattan studios (as per my request as this was a surprise for my husband) and it was so adorable, perfect for the boudoir scenes. Second, they were completely professional having told me ahead of time what to bring, what to expect, etc. I had arranged for one of my girlfriends to meet me there just in case I was nervous. She wound up coming much later and I was completely comfortable posing in my underwear for strangers. I felt like I was with three friends, very encouraging and full of ideas. The thing that helped the most was that they seemed to be having as much fun as I was. Some advice: bring a number of props (you won't use them all, but more selection is best!) and bring an open mind. For one look they had me put on a tiara from their own stash of props. Anyone who knows me knows that the delicate princess look is not my personality at all. They wound up being my favorite shots. In summary... Ladies, do this for yourself. The experience alone is as much fun as showing off the photo's. Guys, buy this for your girl, you will love seeing her in such a creative light. I'll do it again (hopefully WITH my man....) read more

I just recently had a photo shoot with the Yellow Brick Collective. They are an incredible team. I bought a package that also included makeup and styling. Not only does the team make you feel super comfortable and at ease, they also make you feel like a supermodel. I came with some clothes and jewelry, and the stylist put together some amazing looks and even put in some things of his own. The makeup was beautiful & professional. I had a different makeup look to go along with each style as well. She made me look absolutely amazing. The stylist and make-up artist were always on hand to touch you up through-out the shoot. The photographer, Agnes, is spectacular. She made me feel comfortable, at ease, and most of all I had so much fun. She took fantastic pictures and really knows how to make use of the environment around her and capture your best sides. The pictures turned out gorgeous - I didn't even know I could look like the way the pictures turned out! Everyone should do this! If there is no special occasion, then do it just for the experience! You will have so much fun and have wonderful pictures. I cannot say enough about how fabulous the experience was from beginning to end. The team really knows how to treat you with care, make you feel fabulous and have fun! In the end, you will have beautiful pictures for a lifetime. read more

This is a cautionary tale of a fairly shy 20something who ventured out of her skin and in to a boudoir shoot. I can tell you about how I never ever modeled before and what a great experience I had. I can go on and on about how comfortable I felt in lingerie, with the lights on, in front of another woman. But I'm not going to do that. Why? Because my photos came out so damn awesome that I can't even do anything but think about how damn sexy I am. Or at least, how damn sexy YBC made me look in my photos anyways. So I guess this really isn't a tale, nor is it really much of a review either. It's more like a warning. Serious vanity issues will arise if you choose to shoot with YRB. I use to look in the mirror and think things like "my mascara is a little runny." Now I look in the mirror and think to myself "Damn girl, you should be a model!" I'm waiting for the side effects to wear off. I'm sure at some point, things will go back to normal. I'll look in the mirror one day and think something like "Ew, what is that pimple doing there?" But I know that when that day comes, there will be a little voice in the back that says "You still mad sexy in those photos. Mmm Hmm." This could happen to you. Be careful. ;) read more

I don't generally love working with photographers as the chemistry between photographers and clients is sometimes lacking. First and foremost, YBC made my wife and I feel amazing. Aside from our shoot being comfortable and fun, Agnes made us forget that the lens was even trained on us! The resulting photographs were gorgeous. They all looked natural, unforced, and most importantly, BEAUTIFUL. The images we received (in a timely manner) all captured the spirit of our wedding day to a tee. More than any other photographer we have worked with, YBC was able to capture the true spirit of our wedding day and most importantly of us. The images and prints we received are heirlooms. In this digital age, it's wonderful to see your memories in a frame. In short, simply BEAUTIFUL work. I would come back to YBC in a heartbeat. read more

I have used the services of Yellow Brick Collective for several very important occasions over the last 5 years. Agnes, Aryeh, and Natalia not only produce amazing results, but they are all truly professional and fun to be around. I can not say enough good things about the Yellow Brick Collective. I have worked with much more expensive photographers in the past and Agnes is by far the most talented of all. She has reasonable prices, and gives you thoughtful and absolutely beautiful photos. She also makes you feel extremely comfortable, and therefore gets the most flattering pics out of you. She and her team, have a fantastic eye for detail and artistry. I will continue to use them in the future. Seriously, BOOK NOW before it's too late! read more

I am a boudoir photographer myself. (A very picky one at that!) As such, I have had the opportunity to be photographed by several of the finest colleagues I can think of in my industry. I knew I liked Agnes' work before I went in for my session, but I was nonetheless BLOWN AWAY by the final images from our shoot. In addition to the final photos being among the best I've ever had of myself, that is only enhanced by the amazing person that Agnes is. She is like sunshine in a bottle. Genuine, caring, positive, and fun. I can't say enough good things about Agnes, my photos, or the entire experience. Highly, highly recommended!!!! read more

I also purchased the Groupon deal with make-up and styling included and it was amazing. The whole team were so sweet and friendly that I was at ease in no time. And thanks to their expertise, I not only felt sexy but certainly looked it. The pictures came out wonderfully and I'm really happy that I'll have them to boost my confidence on any day I feel down. I did this boudoir shoot as a surprise present for my fiance but I had so much fun that it ended up being for me just as much. I've been recommending YBC to every girl I've met since the shoot. read more

I have had the pleasure of shooting with YBC on two occasions. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Agnes and team do a phenomenal job making you feel comfortable and look/feel like a goddess. Natalia is fantastic with hair and makeup and the whole process is nothing short of amazing. I walked away from each experience feeling inspired and the pictures are STUNNING. I have referred many friends to experience the magic first hand. Worth every penny and hands down my favorite photo team in NYC!!! Can't wait to find another reason to shoot with them! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Yellow Brick .. It seems that the running theme with them is how comfortable they make you feel, and it's completely true.. I walked in a complete basketcase - In fact I tried to cancel my appt due to last minute jitters - but I walked out feeling like a sexy beast. I'm so happy Ary convinced me to keep my appt, cause if not i would have missed out on an amazing experience. Kudos to their great team.. I wish I could do it again and again and again. -Thiara read more

Not Only is the crew super fun and pleasant to be around , they do an amazing job. I just received my pics yesterday and I absolutely love it . I was eight months pregnant for the shoot and I am just so happy I decided to do the pictures. My hair and make up were flawless ( thank you Natalia ) , the clothing options were so appropriate ( thank you Ary) and the pictures just perfect ( big thanks Agnes) Would def recommend to anybody ! Yellow Brick rocks read more

I recently did a photo shoot with YBC and gave the pictures as gift to my husband on our wedding day. The photos are absolutely amazing. I was very nervous and shy but Agnes made me feel comfortable and beautiful. Natalia is a genius with makeup; I wish I used her for my wedding day! Ary did a great job with wardrobe and accessories. It was so hard to chose which pictures I wanted retouched, I loved them all! I highly recommend YBC . read more

Wow, Agnes is fantastic. Her photos represent her vision as well as the woman behind the camera. They are elegant and classy with just the right amount edge. :) Her photos are intriguing and they never look the same. I would recommend Yellow Brick Collective to everyone. She is a class act and its difficult not to be comfortable around her. She is a gem. I will definitely visit her again. read more

Amazing. Seriously amazing. I barely go to the beach without wearing an array of coverup paraphernalia, but for some reason stripping down in front of three strangers was almost no problem at all, as long as those three strangers were Agnes, Aryeh, and Natalia. I had a ton of fun - I would without a doubt do it again! They made me look beautiful and feel fantastic. read more

My experience as a client/ model at Yellow Brick Collective has been always extraordinary!!! You just feel like you're home and that's why the photos are so amazingly shot!! Agnes is so incredibly talented and filled of energy and love! I'm simply in love with her! I got to work with the awesome Ashley Dada as makeup Artist, .. Best team to work with! Cheers to YBC!! read more
