I’m extremely impressed with Elizabeth’s experience and professionalism in her work. I contacted Liz when I needed maternity photos and we set up a consultation where she got to know what I was envisioning. Elizabeth arrived for the shoot with multiple ideas and her creativity immediately began to show itself.

She operated with a calm confidence that immediately put me at ease, even at 8 months pregnant when hormones and body image weren’t working in my favor. We did the shoot indoors due to a heatwave and Elizabeth was able to create great lighting by combining the natural light with her own. Her directions were clear and helpful, making the shoot feel relaxed. The great experience coupled with the pictures turning out amazing made me return after the birth of my daughter. Elizabeth again captured precious moments in time, this time with my newborn and left me just as satisfied as the first time. I have zero complaints about Elizabeth Zaranka Portraiture and have no doubt that I will be returning to her business for a third time soon!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Elizabeth Zaranka Portraiture. I had recently encountered positive life changes that I wanted captured. Elizabeth’s photography, and my experience shooting with her, perfectly encapsulated this. Elizabeth and I had an initial consultation, wherein she learned about my likes and dislikes, my personality and what I was hoping to garner from the shoot. The experience was nothing short of fantastic. She provided excellent direction and made me, who had never been in front of a camera, feel comfortable, even when I felt silly. She was gentle, kind and her obvious talent shined through. I am beyond pleased with the outcome and would absolutely use her incredible skills again!

When it came to telling my brand’s story I knew finding the right photographer was essential. As a
perfumer that handcrafts my own perfumes, so much of my branding is being able to convey my story
but also the value of my products. Elizabeth has been so pivotal in capturing and creating images that
are cohesive not only with my vision but my brand.
First and foremost Elizabeth is a portrait photographer. Her shots of me in my perfume studio shows
the narrative of how perfume is made. I was so pleased when I got the pictures back- the headshots of
myself have a very genuine presence to them, a forthright sincerity. Essentially they weren’t simple
headshots, they were composed and thoughtful portraits, and precisely what my brand needed.
Elizabeth showed an equal amount of professional finesse with my brand’s product photography. Her
product shots have been pivotal in piquing the interest of consumers and potential retailers. Perfume
bottles are a fairly complex product to capture- and if they are poorly presented the value is not
believable for the consumer- a difficult task to ask for! Elizabeth was incredibly receptive, we shared
Pinterest boards to present to one another what we had in mind. She presented me with a variety of
shots that showed she had carefully played with lighting and placement. The array of pictures offered
and getting to select amongst my personal favorites for the brand was also a major positive of working
with Elizabeth. Her work on my debut perfume was so well done I asked her to take up the
photography for my second perfume!
