What an amazing experience! Protraits by Z is worth every penny. I felt like a supermodel at 36 weeks pregnant. Zeynep made me feel very comfortable and guided me the whole way because I had no idea what I was doing. She’ll instruct you on how to pose and facial expressions. The make up and hairstylist did not disappoint either. I was so pleased when I saw my pictures it was almost impossible to choose my favorites. Z did a great just editing them, as well. I highly recommend her service if you’re looking to capture a special time in your life. I know when I’m old and wrinkled and I’m going to be glad I took these hahaha

I cannot recommend Zeynep / Portraits by Z enough! From the moment I booked, the entire process was seamless and professional. I was a bit nervous going in, but she has an incredible gift for making you feel completely at ease and empowered. Her studio environment is comfortable, welcoming, and safe, which allowed me to truly relax and be myself. The final photos are absolutely stunning, she managed to capture exactly the vibe I was looking for. If you’re considering a boudoir shoot, look no further; she is a true artist who knows how to make you look and feel your absolute best

This experience truly exceeded my expectations! Z is extremely communicative, gives great prep instructions, and will pose you through the entire shoot, even demonstrating herself to make it as easy as possible. The hair + makeup service was also absolutely incredible and I wouldn't have changed a single thing! The shoot was so fun, it was easy to find the location, parking was easy too, and the photos came out beyond my wildest dreams. Z is SO GOOD at what she does, highly recommend booking with her!!!

I cannot speak more highly of Z and her professionalism with my boudoir shoot. From start to finish she’s by your side setting you up for success. She provides detailed emails ahead of time ensuring you have everything you need, from outfits to tips on what to do/not do before the shoot. Upon arrival you’re immediately welcomed with openness and a comfortable environment. Her studio is so cute and clean. My favorite part was that throughout the whole photoshoot she’s guiding you into poses and providing instructions. This was my biggest fear going into it and it, as I don’t have any modeling experience or creative flow. The outcome was better than I could have ever imagined. She’s an artist and the photos and shoot depict that. If you’re looking for an elevated and classy experience where the photos are a piece of art, book with Z.

Zeynep was hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with. From the very beginning, she made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. She is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and truly knows how to guide you into poses that bring out your absolute best. What sets her apart is how deeply she cares about her clients her goal isn’t just to take photos, but to make sure you feel confident, comfortable, and happy every step of the way. We literally just showed up and everything was taken care of. She provided a professional makeup and hair artist, guided us through every pose, and created an environment that felt calm, supportive, and fun. She was patient, attentive, and never rushed the process, which made such a difference. We spoke with many photographers before choosing Zeynep, and after completing our consultation and selecting our final images, I can confidently say we made the absolute right choice. If you’re looking for someone who will truly invest in you and deliver stunning results, Zeynep is the photographer you want. I couldn’t recommend her more.
