We found Sylwia on Instagram. She is very well organized and easy to work with. She shared tips on what to wear, prepare for the family photoshoot. She helped edit the pictures as we requested. It was wonderful to work with her and would love to work with her again. More...

Sylwia is an amazing photographer.  I found her online and loved what I saw on her website.  I live in New York but wanted maternity pictures taken in La Jolla.   I contacted her several months before because I had an upcoming trip planned.  From day one, she was attentive and easy to work with.  I got to tell her my story.  She quickly answered any questions I had. She even helped when I had questions about what to wear.  We were in communications up until the photo shoot.  When we finally met, she was easy going and had ideas and a vision (I definitely did not).  She put my husband and I at ease.  I loved the pictures that she took!  There were absolutely lovely.  I cannot wait to work with her again once my baby is born.  I highly recommend her!

Sylwia is a such a gem! We met for an outdoor dance photoshoot which was a creative collaboration for us both. Upon meeting Sylwia, I immediately felt calm and comfortable as she is such a kind and gentle soul. During the photoshoot, Sylwia made me feel very free to express however I wanted with my poses, and was very patient with me as this was my first ever dance photoshoot.The final photos were beyond anything I could have imagined. Sylwia's creative eye and skill really shined through in the angles, colors, and contrasts of the photos. She also has a knack for natural beauty and finding spots to shoot at that translate beautifully in photos.I highly recommend Sylwia. She is enjoyable to work with, incredibly talented, and overall just a good person! I look forward to working with her again in the future. More...

Sylwia is our favorite! From the beginning her communication was clear and direct. She gave us her vision and incorporated our ideas into a magical session and final product. She was understanding, kind, and flexible with our young child, and amazing how she was able to capture gorgeous stills of our wiggly little one! When our baby needed a break or a snack Sylwia was understanding and patient. My daughter adored her after meeting her for the first time, and even gave her a hug. My daughter barely hugs anyone, even her grandmother whom she sees regularly. I attribute this to Sylwia's warm demeanor, radiating so bright it attracts youngsters and animals alike. During our two booked sessions Sylwia was on time, prepared, organized, and final portraits arrived beautifully touched up (she completely erased a cut on my daughters nose) without losing any integrity of the natural beauty. I could not recommend Sylwia more for family, pet, dance, capturing your moment in time. We'll be returning with our dancers before their big spring recital! More...

Sylwia is not only a phenomenal photographer, but she also makes everyone feel so comfortable, including the kids. This was the second time Sylwia photographed our family and we absolutely adored the pictures! ! She is reasonably priced and the photos were available in her beautiful website in less than two weeks. We can't wait for the next time! More...

It was such a wonderful experience with Sylwia. I highly recommend her. We took our pictures in a cold day and she was very patient as our kids were getting cranky. However she managed to take beautiful pictures of our family. We can't wait to have her take our pictures again. We were very happy with our pictures and would for sure be having Sylwia take pictures of our kids. More...

I had a great morning with Sylwia. She is so friendly and I could see her affection for the dogs. I was so surprised when we had the dogs sit, and she had a squeeker to get good expressions. When I got my photos, I was totally blown away! I love them so much. I would highly recommend her! More...

Our family had a wonderful experience with Sylwia. With four kids, its difficult to get them all smiling at any one time let alone for a family photo. Sylwia handled them perfectly. She was very patient and attentive giving each child personal attention while making sure Mom and Dad got the shots they wanted. We are very happy with Sylwia's portraits and wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends. More...

I can't say enough great things about Sylwia. Not only is she very professional, but such a nice sweet person to be around. She did my maternity pictures for me at my home and at the beach, which came out beautifully!! We did a lot of different shots and she coached me on how to pose in each picture so that they would be the most flattering and highlight my pregnancy bump :-) The beach pictures are my favorite because she was able to get the sunset and capture the different areas of the beach, all I can say is WOW!!!Sylwia really captured the beauty of my pregnancy and I'm so happy I found her. She will be doing my newborn photos as soon as my little princess is born!! More...

Sylwia took photos of my little senior dog yesterday in the park. It has never been easy to get photos of Polly because she is visually impaired and always has her head down sniffing her way. But Sylwia was patient and accommodating and Polly felt totally comfortable with her. Sylwia got so many wonderful shots of Polly, I was blown away! And to make things even better she already emailed me the shots to preview. That is faster then any other photographer I have ever dealt with. A great experience from start to finish and I now plan to schedule a family session with her. Top Notch!!! More...

Slywia was very flexible with our last minute scheduling changes. She was very patient with our twin 2 yr old girls during the photo session. Her pricing is also very fair. The pictures turned out wonderful and very high quality. She spent time editing multiple pics because our girls would not look at the camera. Can't wait for another excuse to take professional pics with Slywia! More...

Yesterday afternoon we had a pet photo session with Sylwia.  Her patience with my little senior dog was unbelievable.  My little Polly is pretty much blind and it is hard to get any photos of her because she always has her head down smelling her way.  But Sylwia was able to get so many wonderful shots of Polly that truly capture the sweetheart she is.  On top of that, I already had the photos to preview today. That has never happened, I have usually had to wait weeks to see the photos from any other photography studio I have utilized . Sylwia is an amazing photographer and I know we will be back to have some family photos taken! More...

Sylwia recently did a photo session for my dog and our family - I couldn't be happier with the photos!!! They captured my pup's expression so well. .. from his very playful rambunctious side to his pretty please faces. During the photo shoot, she was very patient with our dog and made sure to take many different types of shots and settings (family, couple, pup only). The photo shoot lasted for about 1.5-2 hours at a canyon that was the perfect rustic setting. If your dog gets distracted easily (like mine), I highly recommend going to a more secluded setting like a canyon than a beach... that way, they can focus and pose for the photo shoot. You can tell that Sylwia absolutely adores dogs - she loved playing with my pup to get acquainted and also had treats and toys handy to get his attention. While I was researching for pet photographers, what drew me to Sylwia was her style and her pricing is also very reasonable. She is flexible to work with and gave us the images in less than 2 weeks!  This was our first family photo session and it was such a great experience that we already plan on doing a Spring session next year.

I can't say enough good things about sylwia! We had my children's great grandmother for a very very limited time in town & I wanted to get photos done for the kids so they will always have something to remember her by. Not only did she make time for this shoot in a fairly short amount of time, it started to pour down rain & we still found a way to make it work. She did NOT have to do that & for that I am very grateful! They came out AMAZING! We will most likely use her for all of our family photos from now on yes even our furbabies too =) Thanks sylwia!
