A Truly Special Photoshoot with Ayla on the Azores!!!
I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with Ayla on the Azores in October, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, Ayla was incredibly empathetic and attentive to my needs and wishes. She helped me overcome my fear of being in front of the camera and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire shoot. Ayla has a wonderfully calm, professional demeanor that really put me at ease. Her expertise and kindness made the entire process enjoyable, and the results are absolutely amazing. Thanks to her, I now have stunning photos that I can use for my website to kickstart my professional journey.
In addition to her great personality and skills, Ayla is highly organized and efficient. She responds to emails quickly, and I was very pleased with how promptly the beautifully edited photos were delivered. I can’t recommend Ayla enough!!! If you’re visiting São Miguel, booking a photoshoot with her will definitely enhance your trip and make it even more special. I’m so grateful for this experience and can’t wait for our next session!

Ayla was the absolute sweetest and her work was better than we could have even imagined. She came up with great ideas for poses and even helped us out by driving us to our second photo location since we didn’t rent a car! She was joyful, professional, communicative, and overall a wonderful photographer. If you have the opportunity to go to São Miguel, hire Ayla as your photographer and you won’t be disappointed!

We decided to take our engagement photos on the island and Ayla was so easy to work with, she made you feel so comfortable from start to finish. She has very good attention to detail and her style of photography truly creates unique/ authentic photos. We couldn’t be happier with the final product! Highly recommend her if you need a photographer in Sao Miguel! You will not regret it!!

Ayla was absolutely lovely to work with and we're so happy with our images. She made the process easy from beginning to end being clear with communication, scheduling, details and even helped us select locations (as we were traveling in from the US). She listened and absolutely captured what we wanted and we could tell she was a pro with her equipment, shots, and style. She made the photoshoot feel easy and comfortable and receiving our photos afterwards was well communicated. We would absolutely shoot with Ayla again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her.

Ayla is a gifted photographer but also kind and personable. I found her through a referral in a Facebook group. After comparing other gifted photographers portfolios, I chose Ayla. This is because I liked her composition and artistry.
Ayla was communicative prior to the photo shoot, promptly responding to emails and inquiries. The day prior we communicated through WhatsApp which was great since I wasn't checking emails as frequently. She provided great instructions prior, and her guidance the day of was good too, especially since my husband didn't want to be there and I haven't done a photo shoot for a really long time (wedding day maybe).
I am so glad we got these pictures taken for our anniversary and to remember our time in São Miguel.

My husband and I decided to contact Ayla kind of at the last minute about taking some photos for our 20th anniversary while we were visiting Sao Miguel on vacation. She responded quickly, worked us into her schedule, helped us choose a gorgeous location for our pictures, communicated pricing and her process clearly, and showed up early for our appointment. She was very easy to work with and made us feel at ease from the moment we met her. Our pictures turned out beautifully! She made us look so good, we feel like we could be in photos for an Azores tourism campaign! We highly recommend Ayla!

Ayla was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I booked with her for our engagement shoot on a trip to São Miguel, she made us feel SO comfortable infront of the camera. She’s so personable and sweet and even her unedited photos came out perfect. We are already booking her for our wedding next year and we’re so excited to work with her again!

Our engagement photoshoot with Ayla was phenomenal! Her enthusiasm, recommendations, and flexibility made the entire process seamless.
Ayla's dedication and expert guidance resulted in stunning, natural shots that truly captured the essence of our relationship. She went above and beyond, adapting to changes with us. Weather was changing and Ayla, was adapting everything with for us. We even moved the original day of the photoshoot.

Não podíamos ter escolhido melhor fotógrafa para o nosso dia, sem dúvida a escolha certa! Extremamente profissional, cuidadosa e organizada, para além de ser carinhosa e deixar-nos completamente tranquilos e confortáveis. A nossa intenção foi ter um registo fotográfico que valorizasse as relações e o espaço que é muito significativo para nós, sem sentir que fosse algo forçado ou pousado, e foi exatamente isso que a Ayla capturou - momentos naturais de amor. Vamos guardar para sempre estas memórias eternizadas pelo talento da Ayla. Sem dúvida recomendamos!

Ayla was very responsive and helpful from the start. I came across her Instagram from the US and was looking for a photographer to take my maternity pictures while on vacation in sao Miguel. Ayla was quick in responding and informing me on the best locations. I love all of my photos she had taken and couldn’t of chosen a better photographer to capture these memories for us. The pictures were sent back to us quickly… I highly recommend Ayla!

We really liked how she naturally interacted with us during the photo shoot so we felt very comfortable in front of camera. The entire process till getting final photos was straightforward and easy.
