It’s exactly how you said it would be - the session felt chaotic for us but the pictures you captured make it seem like such a slow peaceful morning session :) We are thrilled with how they turned out and the lighting is amazing. I’m glad we made a last minute switch to a sunrise session! You have an amazing way of capturing real moments between families and we are so thankful to be able to work with you. Thanks again!”

I will be recommending Irina to everyone looking for an amazing photographer!!!”

She can calm any discomfort you my have being photographed and help calm the fussiest baby. What I appreciate most is the natural approach to capturing Magical Moments. Have no hesitation at choosing Irina as she will capture the magic in a shot and something you will cherish forever. ”
“Irina Fortey Photography is simply the best at what she does!
Irina is amazing and passionate about her work. The experience and photos created by Irina truly showed the heart of who our family is. Coming into her studio our family felt relaxed - we even giggled quite a few times throughout the session! In the time we spent with her we never once felt rushed in anyway. It can be challenging for my four year old son to stay still and Irina helped by giving him a special role that kept him happy and entertained the entire time. She truly goes over and above! If you are looking for a photographer who is going to create lasting memories, you ou will not regret your decision to work with Irina.
Thank you Irina Fortey for your professionalism in capturing some beautiful moments of our family. ”
