Irene is an outstanding photographer!
Irene is an outstanding photographer! We booked her for our small outdoor summer wedding and could not be happier with her work! Her photos highlight the magical qualities of nature and capture the sweetest moments. Her turn around is very quick and the edits she made were beautiful. We were amazed at all of the details and love Irene was able to capture through her photos. My husband and I did an engagement photo shoot with her before the wedding, it was so nice to get to know her fun personality and see a preview of how our wedding photos would turn out. We loved the process of working with Irene. Irene is an excellent communicator, a great hype woman, and a very thoughtful photographer. I can’t wait to book her again!

“Irene is fantastic! . . .
She is very professional and knows what she’s doing. She is really good at hyping you up when you’re posing and will make sure you are having fun and listens to what ideas you have in mind. When you get the photos, it is easy to access and the directions to download make it really helpful! She takes the time to edit the photos and I love how she cares about details and different fun filters. After she is done editing them you will receive an email to look at all the amazing work. Her website is super cute and also made it easy to check out packages and prices! I highly recommend her for any type of photos you have in mind. She is extremely talented! I have added two of the many beautiful photos Irene took of me.”

“I highly encourage people to choose Irene as their photographer! . . .
For starters she went above an beyond what we asked and made us for SO comfortable in front of the camera. We asked her what we would like to have done in our session (couples photographs with our animals incorporated) and she fully delivered! She made recommendations during our session on poses and they all turned out beautifully! Very quick turnover on editing photos and the format for the gallery was easy enough for my grandma to navigate. She’s the BEST!”

“Irene is SO fun! She is punctual, goofy, giving & full of laughs. . .
We had the best time at our session, but it didn’t stop after the session. As a photographer myself, it is so easy for me to feel extra picky about photos taken/edited of me, but I LOVED every shot Irene took. She felt like an instant friend & is an amazing artist; I am lucky to work in the same medium as her!”

“I recommend Irene for any photos you need!”
Irene photographed my son’s senior pictures and I could not love them more! She captured his personality and even got him to smile naturally. Irene is a breeze to work with, and she takes the time to make it a great experience. She has also photographed my oldest son’s family several times and has captured precious memories. I recommend Irene for any photos you need!

“We were so happy with our gallery!”
Irene was amazing to work with and super flexible with making our session work on the time limitations that we had. We had a large (14 people) family ages three to 72 and Irene was able to get everyone’s personalities to come through. We were so happy with our gallery!
