I completely disagree with the one negative review that was given on Irene. IRENE IS FANTASTIC!!! I booked Irene for engagement & wedding photos. Working with her was one of my best wedding vendor decisions. Here is why: TECHNICAL: Irene has a critical eye for color/contrast & appropriate lighting; she accurately captures various skin tones (from very dark to fair & the tones in between, & a white wedding gown) all in the same photo w/out anyone appearing washed out or overly shadowed. CUSTOMER SERVICE: In addition to being technically savvy, Irene has great customer service skills. We asked tons of questions throughout our time with Irene (from our initial meeting through receipt of our wedding photos) & she never made us feel rushed, or unimportant either during a shoot or during our text messages, phone convos, or emails. More importantly, Irene always worked to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, especially when we felt awkward as the center of attention. Irene also explained her process for photographing us (e.g., potential poses & candids, photo shoot location, lighting, etc.) to ensure we understood the service we purchased from her. She also accommodated our requests regarding time, location, poses, etc. She consistently responded to emails generally within a few hours, & my text messages were returned promptly. PROFESSIONALISM: Irene was punctual to each of our sessions & arrived w/ her camera tools, a smile, & tons of infectious positive energy! Irene embodies friendliness & professionalism. She was a joy to work with. Irene is worth every penny & our photos are GREAT! If you can afford her, do yourself the favor & try to book her!

She has a good eye and takes good shots and easy to work with. However, the 'photoshop' or editing is amateurish at best--not realistic at all. Digital (web) are only in low-resolution.

I've used the services of numerous professional photographers over the years, but my experience with Irene Abdou Photography was by far and away better than my experience with any other photographer - ever. I hired Irene to create some business portraits of me for use on a new website, book cover, business card, and other marketing materials. Irene: (1) took the time to understand specifically what I wanted in the headshots, (2) she looked at previous business portraits I had had taken and asked me what I liked or didn’t like about them, (3) she suggested what I should wear for the photo session, (4) she brainstormed with me about locations for the headshot session that would be relevant to my business as an Intellectual Property attorney, (5) she made me feel comfortable during the photo session, (6) she never made me feel rushed during the photo session, (7) she showed me my headshots during the photo session to ensure she had captured pictures that I was thrilled with, (8) she worked with me in my decisions as to which business portraits were the best, (9) she touched the headshots up, and (10) she sent the hi-resolution digital files to me without delay. She also went above and beyond in that even several months after the job was complete, I went back to Irene to request her feedback on which image would be best for a book cover, and she went so far as to provide me her recommendation and modify the horizontal image to vertical for me to fit the cover. Working with Irene was a partnership… and that is something that I’ve never experienced with any of the previous professional photographers that I’ve worked with. I'm in the process of replacing all of the older headshots of me on various websites with one or more of the headshots Irene took of me. My initial reaction when I first spoke with Irene was that her prices were high, but after reviewing her portfolio again, I decided to make the leap. In the end, the photos taken by Irene are great, the results more than justified the price, and I couldn't be happier with the investment I made in these headshots. If your primary concern is low cost, then Irene wouldn’t be the right photographer for you. But if your primary concerns are high quality, value, and an amazing experience, then call Irene! All in all, my experience with Irene was outstanding and I've finally located a professional photographer whose services I will use for years to come for my work and family photography. I'm planning on having Irene take family portraits for us in the near future and I’m looking forward to an album and updating several of the family portraits we have on the walls.
