We are absolutely delighted with the newborn and sibling photos taken by Irina! We really are so happy with all the photos that were taken and presented to us. The whole experience was great. Very professional, friendly and accommodating. The printed photos and flash drive are very good quality and nicely presented. Would highly recommend.

Ive only got great things to say about our experience. We arrived early by about 30 minutes and expected to have to wait outside but that was no problem for Irina and she let us in.

Watching Irina expertly calm him down when he got a little upset was amazing.
My mother wanted to come as well, she wanted extra photos taken and again this was no problem. We came back a week later to look at the photos and they were just incredible and the video complication
