“Working with Irena was an experience we'll never forget. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship the wild playfulness and the quiet, intimate moments was nothing short of magical. During our first shoot, she encouraged us to embrace spontaneity, capturing us laughing and moving freely in the sun. Each shot felt like a true reflection of us, captured with heart and authenticity.

We couldn’t be happier with the beautifully edited photos Irena delivered. Each image is a piece of art, enhanced with just the right touch to make every detail shine. She went above and beyond, capturing far more moments than we ever expected, each one reflecting her exceptional talent and eye for detail. Her dedication to getting the perfect shots made us feel truly valued, and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully.

Thank you, Irena, for capturing these beautiful memories. They’ll be cherished forever.”

“Thank you for all the captures, we are so grateful to you. You are an amazing person with amazing skill set.

From maternity session to newborn session and then Mother’s Day and family session you have been so corporative since day one. We just can’t get over how professional the photos turned out.

We were always thoughtful of how session is going to be, you made us so comfortable and amazed us with the end result. The sessions went so flawless, we love how you make the sessions so relaxed and fun.

We just love your photography! Looking forward to have another session with you super soon.”

“My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Irena, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, Irena was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about capturing the perfect shots. She has a remarkable eye for detail and an ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, with every shot reflecting the mood, emotion and playfulness of the moment. The editing was flawless and added just the right touch of vibrancy without looking overdone.

I highly recommend Irena to anyone looking for a skilled and creative photographer who truly cares about their clients and their work. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Absolutely speechless upon seeing our beautiful gallery from the maternity photoshoot!

Irena is extremely friendly and asked if we had any specific shots, or shoot locations in mind. We left it completely up to her and that was the best decision ever! Sunrise photoshoot at the beach can be tricky with the tide timings…but she took charge and followed up until the very last evening before the shoot to make sure we get there at the right time, for the best shots!

Thank you for being so professional, yet friendly, and making me feel gorgeous!

Looking forward to our newborn shoot next!”

“Irena took photos of myself and my partner. It was my partners first photoshoot and Irena was excellent in assisting us from preparation (clothes, make up, jewellery, hair etc) through to picking a wonderful location at a time convenient for us yet perfect for our photos making them far better than we could of wished for. I cannot compliment Irena’s direction and professionalism enough either.

We loved working with her and won’t work with anyone else now.”

"We loved working with Irena! We were visiting New Zealand from the US and found Irena on Instagram and thought it would be fun to get pictures done while visiting. Irena worked with the time difference to find a time beforehand for a zoom meeting to talk about our session and introduce herself.

She responds quickly. She was patient and friendly with our three young children and made everyone feel comfortable during the session. And to top it off, her turnaround time on getting pictures back to us was quick!

The pictures are stunning and we will cherish them forever. Thank you, Irena! “

“The best experience we could have dreamt of! So professional, felt so comfortable and special the entire time and that’s all thanks to Irena.

Would do it again in a heartbeat. Such beautiful photos and most special experience to remember forever. Can’t fault anything!”

"Irena's supportive and flexible approach made us feel super comfortable at all times.

We appreciated the guidance from Irena to capture precious moments with our ten month old."

“Irena is an exceptionally talented photographer! After discovering her captivating photography style on Instagram, we selected her for our maternity photoshoot. Her passion for her craft and dedication to providing the best experience shines through. Despite our initial camera shyness, she effortlessly put us at ease, capturing our genuine and comfortable moments.

We highly recommend her and eagerly anticipate our family photoshoot with her!”

“We had the most incredible family photoshoot with Irena at Piha Beach, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease, capturing not just how we look but how we are—the little moments, the laughter, the way the kids run wild and free.

Piha's dramatic backdrop was the perfect setting, and Irena knew exactly how to use the light and landscape to create magic. She has this effortless way of guiding without posing, making the whole process feel natural and fun. Even the kids, who usually lose patience within minutes, stayed engaged because she made it feel like an adventure rather than a photoshoot.

The final photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Somehow, she managed to bottle up the feeling of this stage in our lives—the chaos, the love, the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. These are the kind of photos that will bring us right back to this time, even years from now.

If you're looking for a photographer who truly sees you and knows how to translate that into beautiful images, Irena is the one. Couldn’t recommend her more!
