I have done a LOT of photo shoots over the last 6 years. I choose the photographers based on style and editing qualities. I have seen a lot of pictures that do not end up looking like the individual. I have spent HUGE $$ and I also not so much $$. As a fitness competitor I have my poses DOWN PAT! I have a routine that I tear through at every shoot. And then I met Brian!!

I was drawn to his images as I saw them start to pop up. Friends of mine were shooting with him, and they looked like THEMSELVES in the images. I loved that there were so many different styles. I hymned and hawed and then fate played out and he answered me about something else I was looking for on FB. I liked his vibe...so I booked!

Lets just say.. he totally got a different me. He did not want to shoot my same basic poses... he wanted to find something else inside of me that had never been shot. He took the time before the shoot to gather a story board of things I wanted, he really took the time to listen. As my hair and make up was getting done he told me his style... in no way was it about not doing what I wanted... but more into having me open up to try different things... still based on the looks I was after. To still show ME.. but from different angles etc.

He literally CRAFTED each picture. It was art. I was blown away at his attention to detail even before he took a shot.

I can't say enough about my experience.

Do not hesitate to book with Brian! Before he has a waiting list a year long!!

Brian has an eye for capturing the in between moments that capture the true YOU. A subtle glance, a moment on a drift or a full hearted laugh that embodies your essence. I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Brian several times. He is so easy going and relaxed, you can't help but bring your best to set. Our images have landed many highly regarded publications, covers and features as well as use in advertisements with leading international supplement company - MusclePharm for their Fit Miss line of products. I'm looking forward to seeing what creative & exciting images our next shoot will bring.

After many attempts to work together, Brian Reilly from West Studio and I finally connect to create some images that I believe to be some of my best! When you enter West Studio you can feel the creative energy oozing through the walls. Brian was easy to work with, always conscious of making the model and everyone else in the room feel comfortable and with the liberty of self-expression. I would 100% work with Brian and his team again and look forward to more!
