"Amazing"

Most amazing photographer I have had the pleasure of working with! I am relatively new to photography and modeling and Martina was recommended to me by my best friend. Martina shares the same love for art and photography as I do and she made the whole experience beyond amazing! She gave me tips and tricks for future photoshoots and let me have so much fun and captured the EXACT images I wanted for my Boudoir and Glamour portfolio! I will be using her services again in the future! Mandi Marie

"Professional"

I have worked in television for 20 years and I can attest to the professionalism of Martina. I am in awe of her work and creativity. She photographed my rambunctious toddlers and worked around them with patience in order to get the PERFECT picture. Incredible Martina, you are a miracle worker, and I feel so pretty, thank you! Ericka Pino

"Incredible"

Martina is a true professional photographer! From the beginning she took the time to consult with us prior to our session. She was punctual and was extremely patient with our children during the entire session. Never did we feel rushed to finish nor did we feel we were on a time limit. She ensured we felt satisfied during and after the session. She is very pleasant to talk to and work with! Our pictures came out incredible and we can't wait to share with family and friends! We highly recommend Martina as a photographer. She will not disappoint! Tanya Roldan
