I spent weeks researching online to try and find the best lifestyle photographer to take my real estate pictures. I came across Oksana Pali and boy am I so happy I did! My pictures came out absolutely stunning thanks to Oksana. I can never use another photographer now that I’ve had the best! She’s super sweet, fun and beautiful too! I’m so excited to share my branding pics on my social media and marketing. After looking at so many other agents lifestyle photos mine stand out the most and look the best because of Oksana! She’s truly the best!

It’s impossible to say too many good things about my photography shoot experience with Oksana. What I loved most about working with her is that she made sure I was extremely well-prepared so we maximized our time together, which ultimately paid off because I got all the images I was hoping for!
We had a prep call which was very helpful and ultimately what made it such a good shoot. Oksana recommended I create a Pinterest board of the images I wanted, and it was so so helpful to help me get very clear on my vision for the shoot. She encouraged me to identify what I liked about each image (the flowers, the smile, the outfit, the background, etc.), so that we could make sure I could recreate it. I prepared a Google document at her recommendation for each look, the props, etc., and we had it as a reference for the entire shoot. We were able to move seamlessly from each look, do quick setup, and confirm during the shoot we got the right images.
On the day of the shoot, she arrived right on time, and we worked tirelessly that day until we could definitely say we got all the shots we wanted! Even without Oksana being a wonderful person, her talent alone would’ve made it worth hiring her. She gave me a lot of direction (I hate being in front of a camera), made sure each fabric photographed well, made sure the lighting was flattering, made sure my clothes were well-fitting and flattering, all the things I needed! She worked very well with my makeup artist and hair stylist who were with us.
Talent aside, Oksana is wonderful, sophisticated and also FUN! It’s been a wildly unpredictable year with a lot of heaviness. Yet we laughed all day long! It was amazing to spend the day with incredibly talented women, end up with all the photos I needed for months to come, and also to laugh until we (almost—mustn’t let makeup run!) cried!
Then came the (very short) anticipation (did the photos come out OK? What if I don’t look good in any of them?) before we had a zoom call to walk through the final photos. I was (and still am) in awe of her talent! She captured all the best things and minimized anything I wouldn’t like. The final result was a polished, high-resolution portfolio of gorgeous photos I can repurpose for a long time to come!

Oksana is a talented photographer who knows her craft well. I contacted her for a branding photoshoot and she helped me through the entire process. I’m extremely happy with the results of the shoot. Images are exactly what I envisioned. She understands the requirements of branding photography and makes an effort to understand you and your personal brand. I highly recommend Oksana.

Wow, I cannot recommend Oksana more for your photography session! I'm beyond thrilled with my whole experience with her as my brand photographer. This was my first photo shoot and I was nervous and unsure how it would go. Oksana gave me great tips beforehand, made me feel so comfortable during the shoot, and the pictures came out so amazing! Crisp, clear, perfect lighting, and just so awesome. I can't wait to use them all. Thank you for an amazing job, Oksana!

Some say that in New York you are always looking for the right apartment or boyfriend to date. My struggle though was to find the right photographer who was able to first hear me out and help create the right portfolio for my brand. So now, regardless of whether you are a New Yorker or not, you may take this one off your search list by reaching out to Oksana the same way my team and I did.

Working with Oksana exceeded my expectations. She made me feel right at ease and would offer great direction throughout the entire shoot. I also could not be happier with the outcome - the pictures are beautiful and exactly as I had envisioned. For someone who is often very self-critical, for once I feel confident and proud to share the photos taken by Oksana! Oksana is a true pro who is not only talented at her craft but is also a truly warm and caring person. She went above and beyond to ensure that my vision would be realized and I am so appreciative. I will definitely be working with Oksana again in the future!

“I recently had a brand photography shoot with Oksana. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! It was worth Every Single Penny! Her photos have elevated the look and feel of my law firm website. When you are creating your own business, you have so much going on - it was amazing to have Oksana take care of every aspect of the photo shoot for you. I researched for weeks to find a brand photographer with the services I needed. Oksana was the only one that offered in-studio hair and makeup and multiple outfit changes with extremely high-quality photos. I also received the photos very quickly after. Above-all I loved her process! Her scheduling and payment procedure, her accessibility for any questions ahead of time, and her photo viewing video conference. From start to finish the process was easy and I always knew what the next steps were.
The actual photo shoot can only be described as pure magic. Her studio is stunning, welcoming and comfortable. I got my hair and makeup done by the very talented Anna Andreani. During that time Oksana set up the studio and picked out the schedule for my outfits. I felt like a celebrity!!! We had music going, the fan going, and there was plenty of space in her studio to get ready for each outfit. When we took photos, Oksana was so uplifting and energetic and raised my confidence super high and it absolutely shows in the photos. Anna even did a touch-up half way through! Oksana had created such a comfortable space that there was no room to be nervous.
I am so thankful for the service Oksana provided and I can’t wait to work with her again.”

"I am OBSESSED with this particular series of photos from my branding shoot the other day because Oksana captured who I am at my core:
Rocker of messy-buns and overly dramatic expressions - geeking out on my laptop that's stacked on top of a few of beauty and style bibles (oh, hay! Christie Brinkley)- not taking myself (or life) too seriously...just chasing dreams and sipping on my kryptonite - coffee.
1000% on brand
This is why I've been gushing about working with Oksana again. She puts my nerves at ease with her amazing direction and also gives me freedom to be myself - and in the end? BOOM! We have a great mix of polished, professional shot and fun shots that all feel uniquely me."

“Oksana made me feel really comfortable and kept asking what I wanted instead of giving just directions, she would show me the best way to pose and the photos came out amazing and really made me look my best.”

I thank you for your time, patience and your great attention to details. I absolutely love my photos and with them I have the confidence to branch out more, especially online! I look forward to working with you again soon.
My Best,

"There are really no words to express how amazingly talented and smart Oksana is. Thank goodness a client of mine recommended her because I didn't even know that "brand photographer" was real.
During the initial conversation she really wants to study and get to know you and your brand. Followed by our conversation, she sent me a questionnaire in an email which dived deeper into understanding me and what I am trying to achieve. She really does so much work before even the day of photoshoot.
I'm in the very early stages of my business and she was just so kind and helpful. The day of the photoshoot was honestly like "wow"! She is more than ready and prepared and works closely with you the entire time. I am so unphotogenic, but she really helped me be calm and natural. She has so much patience. She know's she has a client for life! Don't think twice if you are looking for a brand photographer! She's the one!"

“Working with Oksana was a dream! She was supportive and gave her professional opinion which I valued, helping me to pick outfits, poses, and set design in line with my vision for the shoot. The shoot was fun, comfortable, and laid back! Everything was taken care of, and I didn't have to stress. Most importantly, my photos came out beautifully; they're beyond anything I had hoped for! I will definitely be using Oksana in all of my future branding shoots, and would recommend her to anybody looking for a seamless experience with photos matching their vision.”
