I was fortunate to experience the "Lana's touch of artistry". I have worked with a few photographers and stylists in the past and within a few minutes I already know how the shoot will turn out. With Lana it was beyond expectation. Her artistry makes one feel confident, her vision will make you feel special and her greay personality will make you feel comfortable. I have been following her works for almost 3 years from a referral and I told myself that if I'll have my picture taken it will be with her.I was not disappointed.Anyone who wants to collaborate with her will definitely be more than contented.

Lana Ortiz is a true artist. I could tell right away that she knew exactly how to capture the image I was looking for. The experience included an expert team of hair and make-up professionals that did an incredible job. Lana took at least 50 or more shots, and then she went through all of them with me to find the right picture for my needs. I would absolutely recommend her for any photography needs. She is extremely talented. More...

I found Lana when searching for a local photographer for headshots to use on my website and for PR submissions. I knew as soon as I saw her website she was the one to do my photos! In person, she made me comfortable, made me laugh, and most of all, she knows what she is doing! I highly recommend her to anyone. I'm very happy with the work she did for me and I admire the work I see she has done for others! More...

I cannot say enough good things about my headshot experience with Lana. She is professional, thoughtful, kind, and an expert in her craft. She is the epitome of an artist - she payed close attention to detail, made small corrections to improve my result, and took the time to ensure I had the best possible outcome. Never did I feel rushed. She responded to my input. My session was a collaboration, and I appreciated that she created space for me to give my input. She has my highest possible recommendation. The product she produces is well worth the investment. She will be the first person I turn to for any future needs. More...

I couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture my family photos in our favorite season, Fall. To see how much we all have grown physically and gotten closer as a Family was captured so beautifully by Lana. She gave the right direction and made us all feel comfortable, as we haven't had family photos done in over 4 years. I cried seeing the final results...her passion of photography definitely will show in your photos. Thank you Lana! More...

When you are gone, the generations that follow you will remember you through photos. Whether it's your wedding, a family shoot, headshots, or even boudoir, you cannot afford NOT to hire Lana. She is exceptionally talented, has an eye for any and every scene and a heart of gold.

My wife and I were honored to have Lana shoot our wedding, and we cannot wait to share the photographs she took with our children, and one day our children's children. These are memories that will last much longer than a lifetime.

Lana is talented, friendly, accommodating, and artistic. As someone who appreciates fine photography, i have been choosing to come to Lana from Brooklyn because of her skills, personality, and guarantee that you'll love the pictures you take home with you. When after a difficult shoot with 2 kids under 2 we weren't in love with all the poses we wanted, Lana offered to try again with a smile! She caught the perfect moments of my kids, my family, and the genuine interactions between us. Lana is truly an artist! I get so many compliments on the photos she took of us. They are stunning! She's great with babies, kids, and people in general. The whole family has such a fun time with her. It's an experience! Lana is truly one of a kind. More...

Lana is hands down the best in the business. From creative concept to execution, she masters photography and creativity on every level. I had a few shoots with her and every one was stellar. She has the best team for hair and makeup. Knows exactly how to work the lighting and makes the shoot a once in a lifetime experience.
I started working with her when my daughter was born and have gone back each year (I have a 3 year old) for a new creative unique piece of her artwork. Why go to a boring photo studio in the mall. Go to Lana, you won't regret it. The memories and keepsakes she will create for you will be a treasure for you and your family.

She can see through you and knows exactly how to make you look your best according to your personality and style. She creates a master piece that is uniquely yours and you will cherish these images for ever. It was a unique experience for me and I love my album.

Im more confident, happy and wiser now than I ever was and this was just an expression of these gifts that comes with age. More...

Q&As

There is no secret. You’ve got to provide an appropriate makeover, dress your client appropriately for their body type and complexion, you’ve got to know which poses work best for them, and which lighting would flatter them, and finally tie it all up with a top notch editing techniques. Photographer must study their art like a painter would.

How would you like to be photographed? What do you like about yourself the most?

I get to create images of my clients through which they fall in love with themselves. I get to reveal their beauty back to them.

I am an artist. I need the freedom to go with the flow of my creativity and desire for continued learning of my craft.

My style is unique, my skill set is of the highest level, and I LOVE people!
