Luba’s fun and encouraging personality made my boudoir experience so comfortable despite me being very camera shy! I loved the photos we took and cannot wait to gift them to my husband.

From start to finish, my experience with Luba was nothing short of amazing.
First of all, she is extremely professional and personable. Luba made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. She were also very attentive to our needs and preferences, taking the time to understand what we were looking for and going above and beyond to make it happen. She was also making her suggestions if we were not sure about something.
In terms of Luba's technical skills she is truly a master of her craft. Luba had an incredible eye for composition and lighting, and their attention to detail was second to none. She knew exactly how to capture the perfect moment, and her shots were simply breathtaking.
Overall, I would highly recommend Luba to anyone looking for high-quality, professional photography. Luba's passion for her work truly shines through in every shot, and her dedication to their clients is unparalleled. Thank you, Luba, for capturing such beautiful memories that we will cherish forever!

We received a photo session with Luba as a gift from our family friend. I had a vision of an urban setting, maybe New York city style, which I shared with luba once we were ready to book. Something lifestyle, candid and full of life. As we talked about my vision, I gave Luba a few pictures as reference points for what I wanted to get as the end result.
We decided to do the session in Little Italy and, boy, did it turn out great!
It was our first time meeting Luba in person, yet she managed to make the entire family (myself, my husband and our two year old) comfortable right away. She didn’t pose us much, but told us to enjoy our time together and be affectionate towards each other. We had coffee and shared a croissant at Cafe Gratitude as she was “dancing” around us with the camera occasionally switching lenses.
Then we walked outside for a bit and made our kid laugh. Luba gave us general directions and let us do our thing and we didn’t notice how fast the time went by as we really enjoyed each other's company. All of a sudden the photo session didn’t feel like hard work, but rather a fun family time.
I loved loved loved the results!!!!
The pictures turned out genuine and so full of life! We will definitely be using Luba again.

From start to finish, my experience with Luba was outstanding. She was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Luba took the time to understand my vision for the shoot and offered suggestions to make it even better. Each image was beautifully composed, and the colors and lighting were stunning. I highly recommend Luba for anyone looking for a professional, high-quality photo shoot.

Luba did a family photo session for us. She was so good with my little one and he liked her so much that at the end of the session he invited her for dinner and sleepover. It was very cute and we still laugh about it.
Other than being fantastic with my kid, Luba was warm and professional. She helped us pose and get into the mood. We loved the end results!
Thank you for such a great time, Luba!
