Very informative and easy to talk to,
I bought a camera for an upcoming safari without knowing how to use it. Giliane gave me instructions so clear that I went from zero confidence to feeling very confident that I will get great photos! I highly recommend Giliane.
Giliane taught me way more than I anticipated. Book if you're on the fence, you won't regret it.
Absolute incredible experience booking with Gilliane! I booked a 5 session photography lesson package for my wife!! Just from the first initial contact to the meet and greet with my wife, it was pure hospitality and a sense of comfortability with her. I knew my wife wouldn’t just be another student but would be listened to, taught and grow from her time with Giliane! I feel like my money was well spent and my wife will gain much more than just what is in the lesson plans!
From the moment I first reached out to Gilian, she was incredibly professional—thoroughly answering all of my questions, providing clear information, and following up thoughtfully. I hired her for photography lessons for my husband, and he absolutely loves working with her. Gilian is not only a talented photographer but also a patient and engaging teacher. I highly recommend her!
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.
She is very knowledgeable! Not only someone I can learn from but a true mentor and someone that built up my confidence.
Just beginning to work with Giliane. We had an excellent discussion about my specific interests in photography and some of the objectives I’d like to achieve.
Giliane is great. Not only generous with her knowledge and engaged, but really keeps it to a level of easy understanding.
Incredibly flexible and professional, with all that happens in an event, she brought more to the table with ease, and we never felt like she was in the way. exceeded our expectations tremendously, and we're eager to see the touched up final works
Giliane was fun to work with, listened to what our large group wanted. Very easy to communicate with.
We loved working with Giliane! She was quick to respond to any inquiries, and made our experience fun and enjoyable! I would highly recommend her!
Giliane answered all my questions thoroughly & in a timely manner. Looking forward to our session in Oct.
We have had our family portraits for our Christmas cards taken by Giliane for the past 4 years and have always had a great experience! She is creative, friendly, professional and reasonably priced. My dog is always in our photos and I have a young daughter as well, so there is sometimes some minor chaos, but Giliane always manages to get so many great shots! We are so happy to have found a great photographer and will continue to use Giliane for all of our future photography needs!
Giliane did an amazing job for my daughter's senior portrait shoot! She made it a very fun, memorable experience, she is very personable and knew how to get really awesome shots. You could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and that she has a profound amount of experience and expertise in her field! I can't wait to see the final pictures. Overall, I highly recommend Giliane to any looking for a photographer and will definitely hire her again for future portraits. A perfect 10!!
Giliane made the whole family feel comfortable and had fun! definitely doing more session with her!
Pleasant to work with. Great with kids. Reasonable pricing. Delivered quickly. Very pleased with her.
Giliane did a fantastic job on our daughters senior photos. She was very professional and yet also companionate in helping ease a pre photo shoot dilemma. She got out daughter to relax, laugh and have fun during the session. Giliane is very creative and worked with our daughter to help create her own special touch on her photos with the props she brought with to the shoot. All of the photos turned out so beautiful! I would definitely recommend Giliane for your go to photographer for any occasion. Absolutely an amazing photographer!!!
Giliane recently photographed our newborn daughter as well as our two year old. Giliane was outstanding with both of our girls. The sneak peak photo is outstanding and we can't wait to see the rest of the portraits. We would definitely recommend Giliane.
