Reija's work speaks for itself. She's extremely talented, has great vision, a delightful sense of playfulness and excellent technical skill and know-how. I'm 60, and when I first arrived for my "boudoir" photo shoot, I was so nervous. I'd never done this before and wanted to give my husband something special for his birthday, but I was terrified that I was "too old" to do this, and that the pictures would look ridiculous. Reija assured me that together we could create something which would transcend time and age, and still be sexy and beautiful. She patiently worked with me through numerous wardrobe and backdrop changes and by the end of the shoot I felt as if I'd known her for years! Besides being a lovely person, Reija is a brilliant photographer, and my husband was absolutely blown away when he saw the pictures. Thank you Reija, you made me feel and look half my age and gave me something really special to have for the rest of my life!!!

Reija is absolutely amazing! We did a boudoir photo shoot with her for my bachelorette party, and we had an incredible time! She made everyone feel comfortable (we had all different comfort levels walking into the shoot), and she knows exactly how to get you to pose to feel beautiful. We all walked away feeling that the experience was super empowering and we cannot wait to go back! Book with StudioR Santa Cruz Photography--you and your loved ones will be so appreciative!!

After reviewing numerous photo galleries from local photographers, I decided that Reija seemed to have the eye and the feeling I was seeking. Still, until I met her, I couldn't be sure. I'm rather self-conscious in photo shoots, and they rarely turn out well. Reija immediately put me at ease with her warmth and humor, and we soon had some of the best shots ever taken of me. She is a true professional, with a great eye for composition and color, yet she is very casual, relaxed, and friendly in her manner. She also had a very quick turnaround time, and great skills in editing the photos. I'll return to her for future work, and I recommend her without reservation.
