“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!”

"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! “

“I was a little nervous before my personal shoot, but Irena eased me into it and the whole process was super relaxed and fun! Irena's eye for detail, creative vision, direction, and the way she tuned into my energy blew me away. I walked away feeling so uplifted and inspired, seen and celebrated.

Through Irena's work, I saw myself in a way I hadn't experienced before, and the final images are incredible.

If you get the chance to work with Irena, take it!”

“My brother and I were wanting to do a family photoshoot with our parents and dog while we were all together in the country as we are both now living abroad. We found Irena on instagram and LOVED her look/aesthetic of her photographs.

I reached out, and the rest was history.

She was communicative, professional, and produced the most AMAZING photos we could’ve hoped for.

And as a bonus, she was warm, engaging, and put us all at ease during the hour photoshoot we spent with her. She made the most candid beautiful moments happen for the most awkward, camera shy family.

These photos were priceless and I’m so so so glad we opted for Irena!”

CHRISTIE WITH FAMILY

“Irena was honestly the perfect photographer. This was the first photoshoot both myself and my fiancé had done and right away Irena made us comfortable going into it.

Irena made the whole process fun and you could tell how dedicated she was to getting the perfect photos. Irena kept things light and playful but still got some poses in that we think really captured what we were looking for.

The photos came back great and they came back to us so quickly.

If Irena did weddings we would ask her to be our photographer based on this experience. Couldn't recommend her more!”

JOANNA & JONATHAN

“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.”

GAMAK & BHAVESH

“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!”

“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!
