Hello! I’m Irina, a portrait photographer in Queens, New York. I proudly specialize in maternity, newborns and babies in their first year. I always had a passion for photography, but never exactly dreamt of being a photographer. I graduated college with a degree in accounting and finance. It was after I became a mom that my passion turned into a true obsession. I decided to purse photography more than just a hobby. I started taking photography classes and mentored with some of the best newborn photographers in the industry to learn about newborn posing and safety. In 2012, I quit my full time job as an accountant and opened my studio. In the past 5 years, I have photographed hundreds of newborns and babies. As a mom of 3 beautiful girls, Brianna, Lia & Eliana (hence the name Brilianna Photography), I know first hand how quickly babies grow. I look forward to working with you, to slow time down for just a bit and create memories that will touch your heart.
