Reviews

“Zehra met me at the location and was warm, professional and instantly 'got' the look I was hoping to achieve.

Her creative direction was so helpful and produced amazing images to reflect my brand and personality.

Zehra took absolutely no time to get to work and very quickly understood what I was trying to achieve.

Not only was she professional and personable, the images were fantastic. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a refresh!”

She was responsive, patient and her work is of the highest quality.

I would absolutely recommend Zehra and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“If you are looking for an incredibly talented, award winning and exceptional photographer then look no further. I had an initial discovery call with Zehra where she took the time to understand what I wanted out of the photo session, what my values were and what my business meant to me.

We talked about my clients, my products and she put me so much at ease and confident that she would get the best out of me and my products. I could not be happier with the results, they are amazing! The images match my branding perfectly and Zehra worked her magic and made me feel totally relaxed and in safe hands. You won't be disappointed if you book with Zehra ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Zehra for our company PR shoot.

I found her very professional and efficient while at the same time great at the creative side.

Zehra really knows what she is doing and the photos look fantastic. I really appreciate all her efforts and will definitely be working with her again in the future!”

Working with Zehra has been genuinely transformative, the portraits she created helped me grow my audience from zero to over 11,000 and opened doors to new opportunities.

Despite not feeling naturally photogenic, Zehra made me feel completely at ease.

Her images have become the foundation of my online presence, from social media to speaking engagements, and they’ve helped me show up with confidence and credibility.

“I booked a brand shoot with Zehra from Portraya and she exceeded my expectations in every way.

I don't like having my picture taken and she made me feel at ease and comfortable. The pictures came back to me quickly and I love them and again I received more images than I expected.

Zehra is hugely supportive of other local businesses and an extremely talented photographer. I would highly recommend.”

“Zehra was an absolute dream to work with, she really did hold our hands and help us feel at ease. We are not photo savvy but Zehra took care of everything and her attention to detail was faultless.

The photos speak for themselves and the compliments and increase in bookings since show that booking with Zehra is the absolutely best decision we have made.”
