Testimonials
This page is a collection of moments after the shoot, the clarity, the confidence, the conversations that changed.
What happens in front of the camera doesn’t stay there. It shows up in how people lead, speak, pitch, and show themselves to the world.
Here’s how clients have experienced the shoot, and what it’s brought them.
" The shoot was so well executed from start to end. From the moment I booked, Irina contacted me to set the tone / check in what my moodboard for the shoot was and get to know me a bit, which felt very personal. Due to the prep work, we were able to execute all my ideas and looks during the shoot, and the photos turned out AMAZING, even better than expected. It was hard to choose just 5 favourites so I ended up getting a few extra ones as well. 10/10 would recommend! "
"Irina is an absolute professional with an amazing eye and a calm, kind presence which immediately made me feel at ease during our session, even when the camera was on me. As a freelancer with an ongoing need for a strong online presence, these portraits have really helped to elevate my identity as an industry professional. I would recommend Irina/Founders Atelier to anyone looking to level up in professionalism and personal identity."
"I had the pleasure of working with Irina for my professional portrait and could not recommend the experience more highly. Irina took the time to get to know me before the shoot and I was able to share not just about the work I do, but the meaning behind the work. Investing this time, built trust and ease between us and really enabled Irina to capture my essence in the photos. I also love Irina's skill with the use of natural light. The only downside was that there were so many great images to choose from, so it was great that we made the selection together. Thank you, Irina."
"When I was searching for a photographer to take new lifestyle photos and headshots I was worried I wouldn't find the right person. It's such an intimate process to take photos and I wanted to find someone that could understand what I wanted to capture. Thankfully I came across Irina and knew I had found the right person. Not only is she knowledgeable and works in a great studio, but she is kind and takes the time to get to know you and your goals. Her process allowed us to work together smoothly and the results were just as I hoped. I highly recommend Irina and Founder's Atelier for anyone looking for personal or professional photos!"
