Portraits By Z Boudoir & Maternity Photography, San Diego CA

I was fortunate enough to experience a boudoir photoshoot with Zeynep at her studio here in San Diego. The pictures came out stunning, but more so than that, the entire experience was amazing. I’m a plus size woman (size 14/16) with a very large bust. She made me feel incredibly beautiful and put so much thought and effort into how to best pose my body. She was able to accentuate my natural curves and beauty without making me feel self-conscious about what others may view as “imperfections” (i.e. Double chin, rolls, etc). She was kind, patient, and funny. I have always been intimidated by the thought of a boudoir session and my only wish now is that I’d done it sooner. I can’t imagine a better photographer to make you feel both sexy AND comfortable. Thank you for everything, Z.

Zeynep is the best photographer! She made me feel so comfortable and was very helpful in showing me how to pose (I had never done a photoshoot before). The images turned out more beautiful than I could've imagined. I highly recommend her.

Had an amazing time with Z, she’s super welcoming and did an amazing job with our photos! So happy with our pictures! And she’s such a sweet person, her MUA did an amazing job as well!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Z. She was not only a great photographer but a really fun person to spend the day with. I highly recommend her for your maternity or boudoir photos. She is dedicated to her art and craft.
During the entire shoot she went out of her way to guide and make us feel comfortable and safe especially on the beach. Book your shoot today!

My experience with Z was AMAZING! She made me feel like a super model. Gorgeous pictures! Highly recommend!

I came to choose Zeynep for my recent maternity photo shoot after scouring the internet for local photographers. Whilst many I saw produce equally beautiful images, as an artist myself I saw Zeynep also had an added artistic element to her photography. This added an intimate touch celebrating the female form, which appealed to me. So after taking the plunge to go with her, I was not disappointed. The photo shoot was fun from start to finish. Beautiful results which captured the sacred time of pregnancy in pictures. The beautifully matted prints, will provide joy for generations to come and not least for my daughter of how much I treasured having her. The smiles caught on camera will say it all. Last but not least, Zeynep was a pleasure and easy to work with as she was real, down to earth and with a great sense of humour. So her personality is a big selling point aside from her obvious talent. I would highly recommend her.

This was my first time doing a professional maternity shoot of this capacity and I am so glad I had the opportunity to do it here. All the pictures came out so beautiful! I had a wonderful time during the shoot and she really took her time to direct me and get the perfect shot.
I also loved that she had great hair and outfit ideas all planned out. I felt extremely comfortable during the entire shoot, which is rare for an awkward individual like me who hates all the attention on herself. She really knows what she is doing and I will definitely be a returning customer.

I wanted to suprise my husband for a unique gift in our 10 year anniversary with a boudoir photographs and just had a session with Zeynep. I never could imagine the results would be this amazing! She prepared me a gift box with photos and my husband was absolutely speechless when I gave it to him!

It is my first time doing Maternity Shoot.at first I am not super confident how to pose since I don't have any experience with Professional Photographer. But Z makes it really fun and exciting.and I feel so comfortable with her. Me and my Husband did really have a good time with her.and all my pictures turns all amazing! I love all of it! She did bring out the best of me.my Maternity shoot with her is one of the best memories!

Z helped me on a personal project that I was working on a few months back. The project centered around growth and maturity. Both her and her studio were warm and inviting. I truly appreciated her generosity, attention to detail, and overall sense to serve my needs. Thank you Z!

I had tears in my eyes when she sent me a sneak peak of my maternity photo perfectly on Mother's Day. Had a great time at this photo shoot, she was easy to work with, had great outfit, hair, makeup suggestions. She made it easy to come out of my comfort zone for some maternity nudes.
She really took her time to capture some great maternity photos, including of my family. She was patient with my toddler.

She partners with the most wonderful hair & makeup artist, I definitely recommend having it done there since they are better able to coordinate together to make the photos come out so amazingly.

I had an amazing boudoir photo shoot with Zeynep as a birthday gift for myself and couldn’t be happier with the results. The experience was priceless! They did my hair and make up while I was sipping my wine. I was guided throughout the shoot and felt very comfortable. The album I received it an absolutely stunning keepsake. I definitely recommend Portraits by z to anyone considering boudoir portraits.

When we saw her work me and my wife were truly impressed, her photos was amazing! We wanted to shoot my wife’s maternity pictures. She is so professional she guided my wife through photo shoot. We also enjoyed a lot we had fun in her studio one of the best experience in our life. The pictures was stunning. No doubt Zeynep Portraits By Z is the best, Hope to see you in my next child!

Boudoir photos.out of my element, for sure but Zeynep was awesome to work with and made the whole experience easy and fun. My husband was thrilled with this gift for our anniversary, Thanks Z!

The only place I trust my wife with boudoir photography, I was gifted the most elegant box with many sensuous surprises inside! I couldn't be happier!

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Zeynep! When we saw her work me and my husband were truly impressed and knew she was the one who would we wanted to shoot our maternity pictures. She truly does an amazing job. We are beyond amazed by the outcome of our shoot. Would 10/10 recommend!

My experience with photographer Zeynep Dogu was absolutely fantastic! I was impressed by her portfolio and decided to have her take my maternity photos. The whole process exceeded my expectations! She is the consummate professional and makes you feel comfortable even when you’re wearing next to nothing! Turnaround time for the photos and finished product was quick and everything is flawless. I highly recommend Portraits by Z if you’re considering a photo shoot! Zeynep will make you look and feel amazing! Thank you so much for everything!

I was looking for a photographer to take my pregnancy pictures and as soon I saw Zeynep’s work I fell in love with it!
When I reach out to her, she was super fast to reply an easy to book!
When Zeynep took my maternity pictures was so difficult to choose what pictures I wanted because all of them were stunning

If you are looking for maternity, boudoir or family pictures I highly recommend Zeynep ;)
