Irina Smagina Photography – Newborn, Maternity & Baby Photographer in Portland, OR

We booked our beach maternity session with Irina, and on the day of the shoot it was rainy and cloudy, so we honestly thought the photos might not turn out well. We were so surprised when we saw the results. They came out absolutely beautiful! Irina was calm, professional, and confident throughout the entire session. She knew exactly what she was doing and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. She was also right on time, which we really appreciated. My husband and I aren’t very good at posing for photos, but Irina guided us through the entire session. She gave us clear direction, made everything feel natural, and helped us feel relaxed in front of the camera. I ended up wearing the two dresses I had picked, and she also brought two dresses from her client wardrobe and let me add one to my session. It felt like such a thoughtful bonus! She even welcomed our little dog Candy to be part of the session, which made the experience even more special. We couldn’t be happier with our maternity photos, and we can’t wait for our newborn session with Irina in August. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and kind photographer!

Irina captured our maternity and newborn photos so beautifully and handled our sweet boy with such gentleness and care. She held and rocked him while I finished my hair and makeup as our morning had been a bit chaotic and we were running behind (Peds and ENT appointment were before our session- try not to be like me and don’t do that!) These pictures will be cherished for the rest of our lives and are well worth the investment. Thank you so much Irina! ❤️

We had our Mother's day mini photoshoot that was really fantastic! Irina has done our maternity and newborn photoshoot and she has become our family photographer! Definitely recommended! Whatever you envision for your pictures, Irina will be able to take it! She is amazing!

Our maternity pictures turned out so lovely! We couldn’t be happier with the results. Irina was so fun to work with and she was very helpful with outfit choices and had plenty of gorgeous outfits to choose from. I can’t wait to see how our newborn pictures turn out.

We absolutely loved working with Irina! She was patient, kind, and accommodating, and made our family feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She was wonderful with our newborn and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. I especially appreciated her client and newborn wardrobe options, which made preparing for photos so much easier. We booked both maternity and newborn sessions with Irina, and we are so happy we did — the photos turned out beautifully. Thank you, Irina! We look forward to booking another session with you in the future.

Irina is amazing! She is so sweet, patient and skilled at directing her clients into natural, authentic poses that still capture frame worthy moments. She is incredibly gifted with newborn photography, but I was equally as impressed with her ability to take beautiful family photos and portraits with a wild toddler who did not want to sit still for a moment. Both sets of photos turned out equally lovely and we will absolutely continue to trust Irina with our family photos for years to come.

Irina was amazing! We did maternity and newborn photos with her. She was patient, kind, and helpful with direction, positioning, and overall comfortability. We loved the flexibility of doing our maternity pictures outdoor and then using her beautifully arranged studio for the newborn pictures! My only regret was booking the maternity and newborn sessions separately instead of through the package deal. My husband and I both highly recommend Irina!
