Testimonials

“Shana brings the perfect blend of heart and hustle to everything she does. Her ideas are brilliant and she is a joy to work with. Her understanding of -- and respect for -- the rituals of Judaism is certainly a plus, as are the technical skills she honed through many years as a photojournalist. But above all, she connects with the kids, capturing their spirit and the true essence of their big day. And that's what it's all about.”  -Daniela (Bat Mitzvah Mom)

“I've been to so many events where the photography is the epicenter of the party.  Shana let the party happen and got all the important shots without ever being intrusive.” -Karen (Bnai Mitzvah Mom)

"Shana was wonderful to work with and has a true gift for capturing a moment beautifully.  The quality of her photos and her creativity make for absolutely amazing pictures." -Robyn (Bat Mitzvah Mom)

"Hiring Shana to shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding.  We were looking for someone who dould do much more than just take quality posed shots of us – someone who could really capture the moments and emotions of us and our guests our wedding day.  Shana was exactly that person. When you look through our wedding photos, not only are they great quality with interesting composition, buy you can really get a feel for the day.  I can’t recommend Shana highly enough." -Katie (Bride)

"Shana has a fun and creative approach, which she works to match to her clients’ vision and environment.  We had our wedding on a sheep farm, and Shana used the surroundings for inspiration, and came up with concepts in advance, but also remained flexible and spontaneous.   We got a perfect combination of photographs that were playful, romantic and touching." -Jessica  (bride)

"The Hispanic Health Council asked Shana to help us tell our story on our new website www.hispanichealth.com.  Her photos are intimate, while respecting the dignity of our clients and capturing their strengths, rather than focusing on their needs.  As a result, the site is a treat for the eyes."

"Shana Sureck is a publicist’s dream photographer.  She sees the entire project through her expert eye, and shoots from her heart, transforming even the most basic shot into an award-winning image.  Nothing will prevent her from capturing the perfect angle.  She’ll climb up on the roof of a swim club, endure ninety degrees and screaming campers, fussy fashionistas and even hanag from a speeding powerboat pulling water skiers!  Shana delivers, and more.  We love Shana!"
