Giliane was able to teach me how to think like a photographer, something I've never been able to learn on my own! She made the technical tangible.

Giliane is great. Not only generous with her knowledge and engaged, but really keeps it to a level of easy understanding.

They were the absolute best photographer I have ever had! I can’t rave enough about the time we had working with them! It was so much fun working with Gilliane and her co-photographer. 20/10 would recommend working with Gilliane and her crew! We had the best time ever, laughing and having them make us feel our best. She does amazing wedding work, newborn and family pictures. I can’t thank her enough for all the help she did for the day of my wedding and even before. If you need to take anything from this review; it is to go with this company!

Details: Wedding • 100 - 149 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download • Physical proofs or prints
