I am so happy that I took the time to check out Irina's profile. Not only did she agree to doing the candid photoshoot in a location I found on instagram that I really loved, but also, she was very patient with my camera shy father who kept refusing to take pictures. This was a family photoshoot for my family whom I haven't seen in over 2 years. Her angles were amazing, her attitude was great and she delivered the pictures so quickly. Will definitely contact her for my graduation photoshoot in 2027 ;)

About Light Up Creative
❗Before reaching out, please take a moment to look through my portfolio and scroll down to the pricing — so you know exactly what you’re getting before you message me. It’s free for you, but not for me, and I truly appreciate it. If my style feels right and the pricing works for you , I’d love to hear from you! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Hi, I’m Irina — a photographer based in the greater Boston area, specializing in maternity, newborn, and family photography with a warm, cinematic feel. I love photos that look and feel real. My style is a mix of natural moments and gentle posing — people smiling, moving, connecting the way they actually do in life. I’ll guide you when it helps, but I also know when to just step back and let things happen. My goal is simple: images that feel like little frames from a movie. Warm, calm, full of real emotion — the kind you’ll want to hang on your wall and keep forever. Pricing • 1 hr Maternity session — $350 • 1 hr Family session — $350 • Newborn session (~2 hrs) — $400 What’s included: ✔️ A private online gallery ready within 5–7 days, yours to download and share ✔️ All the good shots, professionally edited — no artificial limits. 1-hour sessions typically come with 50+ images, newborn sessions with 100+, but if we get 500 great ones, they’re all yours. I believe it’s your right to pick the 10–20 you’ll print and love forever. ✔️ Outfit guidance if you’re not sure what to wear — I’m happy to help ✔️ If you have inspiration photos or a creative vision, bring them! I love making something personal and unique together — from location to styling, I’ve got you.

Irina was absolutely wonderful! I am so happy that we chose her for our first ever Family Photo Shoot! There are 25 of us, 4 generations from 85 to 2 and I'm blown away at how amazing all of our photos came out! Irina was so good with everyone, especially our littlest guy who really had no interest in pictures, only sticks! She was patient, very professional and really guided everyone for the best photos ever! Just WOW is all I can say!! If you are looking for a pro for your special occasion, you will be so happy you chose Irina! Thank you, Irina; you captured our big, crazy family perfectly! :)
Had a wonderful experience working with Irina to take beautiful pictures of our daughter (5yo) and son (3yo)!
Irina was wonderful. She made the photo shoot relaxing and comfortable. The pictures came out so beautifully!
Irina was so lovely and accommodating. My husband and I do not often do photos (we even eloped so we don’t even have professional wedding photos!) so we are very awkward in front of the camera. Irina was able to coach us through poses and able to capture our authentic selves. She also came prepared with examples and poses so we knew what to do. We would definitely hire her again in the future for our photo needs.
Excellent all around! Highly recommend Irina
Couldn’t recommend Irina any higher! Amazing photos and so great to work with, thank you!
We are so in love with our pictures! Will definitely be coming back for more!
We did a fall maternity photoshoot (35 weeks). Irina was very helpful in recommending outfits that would compliment our location, and vice versa. She was warm, good at providing direction, and did an amazing job balancing our skin tones (we have quite different undertones and often clash in photos - but not this time!)
I had an amazing experience working with Irina! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and professional from start to finish, which made planning my proposal photos so much easier. During the shoot, she was extremely helpful and made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully, and the entire process—from communication to receiving the final images—was seamless. She provided an easy-to-use link for downloading all the photos, which made everything simple and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for such an important moment!
Irina was wonderful. The photoshoot was easy, free flowing, direction when necessary, and otherwise laid back and calm. My fiancee and I were very happy with the experience - it was fun! I recommend.
Irina was absolutely wonderful. We are so happy we went with her for our family photos. First off, she picked the perfect location for photos. We got a ton of compliments for the scenery. She also did a great job with editing. We received great comments like "this looks like it belongs in a magazine" or "the best family photos I've seen in a really long time." She was extremely patient with our baby. The funniest part is, our baby wasn't the difficult one, but our dog was complete nut ball being in the open. She was so accommodating considering we wasted a lot of time because of our crazy dog :).
