Inna truly made every bit of my professional photo session a very enjoyable experience! She walked me through what clothes to bring before I arrived. She was concerned that the clothes I brought were not only my fashion style, but also in keeping with the most professional/clean look for photographing. When I arrived Inna had professional makeup and hair artist, Samantha Shephard, complete a clean look for my hair and makeup, once again in keeping with my personal style. I felt like I was being pampered! Inna even offered me a glass of champagne to enjoy while prepping for our session. While being photographed I was so impressed with how knowledgeable and concerned Inna was with the proper lighting and angles within the frame. She studied every element of light and shadow on my face to capture my very best look. She was also very aware of the angles of my face and body, always making me feel so beautiful! I am so happy with how my portraits turned out. Inna is truly a professional of her craft and a master of the art of photography! I highly recommend her for your professional photographer.

The magical experience was like a trip to Disneyland. We highly recommend Inna Portraits. Sarah Anderson2020-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can all agree that 2020 has been a year to remember. 2020 will forever be referred to as one of the hardest years in the modern history of our entire world. With that being said, we wanted something special for our family to remember for the year 2020. Miss Inna at Inna Portraits captured those few precious moments in an exquisitely framed photograph filled with majesty and allure! (Yes, I am using big words because anything less would be insulting to Inna's stunning professionalism and talent!) I am so in love with the outcome of our portraits. Thank you Miss Inna! You will forever be a lifetime friend and photographer of our family! George Lohmann2020-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contracted with Inna's Portraits Studio for Christmas themed photos with our youngest grandchildren. The children were treated to a magical experience with a set recreating Santa's abode with all the trimmings. The set was very professionally done. The Santa actor was very believable and genuine in his portrayal as Santa. He mesmerized the children and captured their full attention. While all of was happening, Inna was expertly taking photographs of the children's interactions with Santa and the North Pole set. Inna was very kind and patient with the children when they had their moments. We later met with Inna at her studio to select the photos for use in the portrait we purchased. Inna had a very professional display set up on a projector, so we could make best selection of photos. Inna had a treat for us during the photo selection, hot cocoa and cookies. We made the selection of the photos, the portrait size and frame. When the portrait and additional photos were ready, Inna came to our home and personally mounted the portrait in the selected location. We felt we received the ultimate in personalized service from Inna. Inna is a consumate professional and we were honored to have her make portraits of our grandchildren during a very special time in their lives. We highly recommend Inna's Portrait Studio for your portrait and photography needs. Richard L J Rockefeller2020-12-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial consultation, to the dynamic and energizing photo shoot, to the efficient viewing where Inna and I shifted through the multitude of images we created together, she was highly focused on capturing the real me. Images that I would want to share. . . In our first visit I told her I was not a photogenic person. She found my spirit! Inna took the time to get to know who I was, never rushing the process. She is meticulous about the details, especially the lighting. I loved this experience. Inna is true artist! In Hope and Peace, Richard L J Rockefeller Erin Langemo2020-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family booked a Santa session with Inna. From Santa having advance knowledge about my children to the beautiful set, the attention to detail was impeccable. The kids ate cookies with Santa, read the Christmas story from Luke 2, and discussed their wishes. Family memories were made, and new traditions Santa introduced have begun. The portraits Inna captured are truly magical. She is a sheer talent behind the camera, and she took great care and interest in our kids. The images perfectly reflect the wonder the kids experienced. Inna has captured my children’s childhood, and the amazement we should all feel at Christmas. I cannot recommend highly enough. Best investment I’ve made in years! Please do yourself a favor and book a session for your family. You will be so grateful you did! Justine Anderson2020-06-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
