Irina turns 37

May 11, 2024

From the first flower to this armful, I’m celebrating 37 years of life today! 

And I dunno about you guys but I LOVE my birthdays! There’s always sunshine, there’s always friends and family, and there’s always cake! What’s not to love?!?

Even now I’m cracked up on happiness, unable to sleep, delirious with anticipation to see my girlfriends, certain that at some point I will sob tears of gratitude for all life has given me. 

My love for this day is completely because of my parents, who have created one amazing memory after another.

Birthdays surrounded by lilacs and daffodils and tulips, magical delicious cakes, friends that loved me truly and wholeheartedly, dancing in living rooms, beaches and parking lots, beautiful presents and delicate dresses, laughing at the dinner table, so many beautiful memories….

My parents colored my life with so much magic and beauty that I have no choice but to love love love my birthday!

So cheers to them for teaching me how to love myself, how to celebrate this day and make a big deal about it, and yes even take studio pictures and buy myself flowers.

I was also incredibly inspired by past clients who have booked me for their birthday and celebrated with a photoshoot. It feels like such a magical way to celebrate your life.

What about you, would you celebrate your birthday with a photoshoot? And if so, would there be birthday cake involved? PLEASE LET THERE BE BIRTHDAY CAKE INVOLVED!!

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.
