BARE FACED BEAUTY

July 6, 2019

I LOVE photographing women. I think at this point, it’s OBVIOUS.

RIGHT?

OK, well I DO.

I got into this game (of empowering women thru photography) as you all know, after I had my daughter. And I realized how frickin lonely it can be to be a mom, to want to be perfect at everything all the time (as most women do) and how little we do for ourselves.

It’s hardly our fault, we’re just wired that way. Givers, nurturers, caretakers, badass warriors, multitaskers…. WHO IN THE WORLD has time for themselves when an entire galaxy rests on your shoulders.

So I created an experience that would PAMPER women, pull them out of their day to day grind, make them see just how incredible and beautiful any woman can be in front of the camera. I figured if I could convince the women in front of my lens to stop hating themselves (for being HUMAN BEINGS), to LOVE LOVE LOVE photographs of themselves, to see what the people that love them see… then maybe, JUST MAYBE, it’s one less thing holding them back from greatness (or badassery, as I like to call it).

THIS YEAR (and for the rest of my career, I hope) I want to take it a step further: I want to challenge all my clients and all the women in my life to step in front of my camera, bare faced. No makeup, no hair, no frills, no fancy set ups or wardrobe. JUST AS YOU ARE.

Once a year, come experience being photographed JUST AS YOU ARE, imperfectly perfect. Let’s create a lifetime documentation as you age, as you change and mold and become EXACTLY the kind of woman you’ve dreamed of becoming.

I care so deeply about these sessions and the power of seeing you in your grace and beauty in the most raw form, that I’m gifting these sessions and the images we create for just the session fee ($100) for returning clients. New clients will be able to purchase these sessions at just $200.

We hired Irina as our photographer and it was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. Her personality loosens people up and it showed in the photographs where people looked as if they were having a genuinely good time.

Irina has done professional branding photoshoots, as well as family portraits, and she is the most amazing and talented photographers I know! She is great to work with - she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and all the photos I receive are incredible! I would not only hire her again in a heartbeat, but would highly recommend her to anyone looking for branding photos, family portraits, wedding, or boudoir photography.

Irina truly made our Mommy and me shoot an unforgettable experience! Her genuine nature and talent shone through as she skillfully captured authentic moments of laughter and joy with my two-year-old. Not only did she beautifully portray the bond between me and my daughter, but she also effortlessly made us feel comfortable throughout the session. I wholeheartedly recommend Irina for anyone looking for exceptional photography that captures pure love and happiness. 10/10, without a doubt!

Irina has a magical way of making your feel confident. Its truly magical, I am not even joking. She has done my photos twice now and each time I feel like the most beautiful woman during the shoot. She knows just how to pose your body in a way that makes you feel empowered.Every time I get my photos back from her I cry, I recommend her to all my friends needing photos of themself and to all the women in my life.
