Masha Ray Portraits

Masha was extremely quick to respond to my online inquiry and boy, was I glad I found her!
Her studio is super clean and accommodating. She is extremely professional with multiple backdrops and props. She had me bring multiple outfits (I was getting headshots for my new business cards and website).
She spent over 2 hours with me and made me feel at ease which brings out the best pictures! She sat with me after the session to provide her advice on the best pictures and even counseled me with the best jewelry during my session.
I can’t say enough good things about her and I hope everyone has

I discovered Masha Ray Portraits on Instagram and I was super impressed by the quality of her photos! I reached out, and I was even more impressed by how friendly and welcoming she is. She immediately inspires confidence because she "gets" it. She understood exactly what I was looking for and how to achieve it. I've had my picture professionally taken many times in my life - although I'm far from graceful in front of the camera - and Masha's are some of my favorite pictures I have ever had taken. They are professional but also beautiful. I am looking forward to working with her on more professional

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Masha is awesome! The whole experience was enjoyable and my professional headshots turned out great! She had the final edited versions turned around the next day. Highly recommend her.

Masha exceeded all of my expectations. I felt so welcome and comfortable immediately upon my arrival. She has a clean, comfortable, and gorgeous studio set up that makes you want to come back for photos all the time! Overall, great experience and even better results. Her style of photography is so natural and modern. I love how elevated her headshots are compared to the average, traditional headshot. My headshots are stunning and were worth every penny! Masha is an expert in her craft, and it shows in her work! I would certainly recommend Masha for any photography needs.

If you are interested in getting PROFESSIONAL photos done for any reason, Masha should be your choice! She is super passionate, creative, knowledgable of trends and travels the world for photography! I was so happy to find her in Tampa! My husband purchased a glam shoot for me as a birthday gift. I was surprised and a bit hesitant because I am quite shy. HOWEVER, I am beyond grateful for the memory and outcome. She hosts an initial meeting (included in cost) to get to know her clients and select looks. From the moment I met Masha, I felt a great connection with her personality. She was able to

I absolutely loved my session with Masha! I felt so pampered during this unforgettable experience. I didn’t feel nervous or awkward like I had anticipated. She was both personable and professional. Her quality of work is hard to match! Masha is at the top of her profession!
Im in love with the beautiful portraits that will be a keepsake for generations. The fact that she’s able to get a feel for the client and know exactly how to pose and portray them in photos, is a true talent that not just anyone can do.
I highly recommend Masha Ray Portraits. You’ll get quality, professionalism, honesty

Masha was AMAZING to work with! I had been to two other professional photographers that seemed more like girls with a pricey camera they didn’t know how to use.
Masha was very professional, provided honest feedback/input and the pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY. She was extremely responsive, communicated just the right amount and the turn around time on the edits was awesome. I don’t have a single complaint. She was great with staging, lighting and keeping my face angles just right as opposed to just saying “smile” repeatedly. Highly recommend getting any photography work done with her. Don’t

What a fantastic experience and photographer! Masha is by far the best photographer I've ever had. She is knowledgeable and skilled in her craft. I reached out to her for headshots to use on my organization's website and social media. Within a few hours she responded and we talked for a while about my goals for the shoot. She went over her process and offered great advice on choosing the right outfits. The session began with a tour of her studio, then hair and makeup. The makeup artist, Sam, did wonders! Then we began the shoot which I was very nervous about, but Masha made it fun and comfortable

Masha is exactly what you need in a professional photographer! I went in for professional headshots I am beyond impressed. She takes her time and pays attention to every detail so that I didn’t have to. Her studio is squeaky clean and beautiful. Her patience and dedication to the craft is second to none. Her turn around time for the headshots is quick too. Getting any professional photos by her is worth the investment . Thanks Masha 😊

We had Masha take our family photos and my real estate headshots and couldn't be more pleased! From start to finish, what an experience! Arriving at her beautiful studio, having some yummy treats set out for our family to snack on while my girls and I had our hair and makeup done, while listening to our favorite tunes and then making me feel beautiful during the shoot, it was a day to remember! We loved all our photos and not only will enjoy the photos, but will remember this fun day for years to come! THANK YOU MASHA!!

Masha was PHENOMENAL during our branding session. My colleague had worked with her before, but this was my first time meeting her and she immediately made me feel relaxed. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease during the session, and did an amazing job not only describing how I should pose to be the most flattering, she explained WHY it was flattering so that I could take those lessons into every photo I take. Her attention to every little detail was incredible and I actually teared up when she showed me some of the photos right there on her camera during the session because they were so

Masha has MASTERED her craft of photography! Not only does she see the true beauty in everyone, but she is able to photograph that beauty and present it in a way that I have never seen any other photographer do.

She photographed my 2 sons and I and I honestly cried when I saw the pictures - she is absolutely incredible and makes you feel so comfortable the entire time!

If I could give Masha 1000 stars, I would! From the moment I first met Masha and her husband Rich, I knew I had to have them for my engagement session. Their passion, sample work they showed me, and overall friendly and positive vibe drew me to them.

Before the photo shoot: Masha gave me ideas of locations and communicated with me on outfits, times, and weather updates prior to the day so I always kept in the loop.

During the shoot: Masha and Rich drove all around OC for us and spent the whole day shooting us. They were so easy going, made suggestions but also listening to what we wanted. My

How many great things can I say about Masha! Not only is she an amazing person she is a true artist and her visions do not disappoint!
The last portrait session we had she made sure even my hands looked pretty on camera! I can't recommend her enough and I am so glad I got the opportunity to shoot with such a great talent. I will treasure my pictures always and can't wait to see the edited images! Thank you for the experience Masha!

There are no words to accurately describe how we feel about Masha and Rich. 1st off, our engagement photos.... They far exceeded our expectations and I honestly felt so proud of them as I've never seen engagement photos turn out so good. They were willing to work with us on our 3 locations, even though they ranged from downtown LA to south Orange County. They went above and beyond to make sure our shoot ran smoothly and that we were comfortable in front of the camera.

Now for our wedding. Without Masha and Rich running the show, our day would have been complete chaos. Instead, Masha

I have truly enjoyed my shoot with Masha! So skilled and sure in style and pose! She also made me feel so good about my skin it build my self esteem lol. Thanks Masha

I like to think of Masha and Rich as the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill of photography; A rockstar power couple that can deliver an amazing album you'll love for the rest of your life. They are absolutely fantastic. Working with them for my wedding was the easiest decision I made.

My wife and I made the photography a priority, we knew what we wanted just not how to execute it (neither of us have any photography experience). We knew we wanted something outside of the box but it was hard to verbalize our exact style. We stumbled across Masha's Photography at a bridal show and while we (my

Excellent people, even better product! I have had the pleasure of knowing Masha for years, and the privilege of observing her craft (and love for it) for as long as I can remember. I have never met a photographer who is as dedicated and selfless as she is. She often is going through photos, editing, and trying to improve her technique even when not working! Masha truly wants you to be happy with your product and finds her own happiness through her clients satisfaction. She cares beyond words and will deliver steadfastly without a doubt.

As for the photos, they speak for themselves. She and her

My husband and I booked Masha for an engagement shoot (in October) and our wedding (April). We knew we'd love the opportunity to get to know Masha and her style but didn't know how much we would fall in love with her and our photos. We both cannot imagine a better experience and end result!

For our engagement shoot, Masha and Rich drove us around LA to three different locations -- I had four costume changes. I still haven't been able to narrow it down to below 60 favorites.

For our wedding, they arrived during hair and makeup and stayed until the very end. Everyone has commented

I had my first glamour photo session with Masha and it was wonderful. I like the fact that Masha like to meet up to discuss ideas and expectations before accepting the job. She made sure the type of photography session I was looking for matches what she offers.
It was my first session so I wanted something indoor so we ended up booking a beautiful studio in downtown Los Angeles for 2 hours and we were able to do a few different type of shots. She was very professional and fun the whole time. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the session. I would totally recommend her service :)

We were so lucky to find Masha!!! She did our engagement photos, and our wedding day photography. We had so much fun taking pictures and felt so comfortable with Masha. We recently received our wedding album and we have a copy of every picture from both of the events on a USB drive and have printed many separate photos to put up around the house. The photos turned out so much better than we ever could've imagined. Hiring Masha as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. I knew photos were one of the most important parts of the wedding day and I'm so happy to have such beautiful

Soooooo much love for Masha and Rich!! My sister and I met them at a wedding convention and instantly connected. They did the engagement shoot for my husband and I, our wedding and then our maternity shoot!! They are so fun and easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. We're not big posers but Masha knew all the right things to say to get us looking our best and Rich is always there to fix a stray hair or move a branch out of the way to make sure you get the perfect shot. We consider them family now and enjoy catching up whenever we can. We've moved to Colorado but we're

While planning for my wedding, I had told myself that I would not compromise for anything to have the best wedding photographer possible. Like all wedding couples, I did have a budget in mind for a photographer, and while walking through several bride shows, I hadn't see a photographer that made me say "that's my photographer"; I was beginning to lose hope and was going to settle for a decent photographer at a price within my budget. However, while attending one of the last bridal shows just as I was going to call it quits thinking I wouldn't find what I need in the last

Wow! Masha's Photography was amazing!!! They went over and BEYOND for our wedding. We found Masha and Rich when we went to a Wedding Expo event and are so grateful that we did!!! We were blown away not only by their photos, but by their personalities! We totally meshed! We got their info and they met us a few months later at a coffee shop near our home so we could figure out what package we wanted. We didn't even interview any other photographers - there was no need! Masha did my boudoir photos as well and they were STUNNING! Never thought I could look like a model. ;-)
