I am a 21 year old female photographer and image retoucher, specializing in portraiture, fashion, and events. I reside in the Philadelphia/Montgomery County area, but love to travel anywhere my art takes me!

When I was 16 I received my first high end camera; ever since, I have been expanding my collection of accessories along with my knowledge. It is hard to say exactly when my passion for photography arose, but I can say that I have always been a true artist at heart in any outlet.

I enjoy making people feel comfortable and confident while looking and feel their best. I love to have fun with people both in front of the camera, and behind the scenes.

From family portraits and engagement sessions, weddings, mitzvahs, and parties, to modeling sessions, fashion work, and beyond, there is no better way to cherish a moment than with a photograph.

TESTIMONIALS

"What is to be said about Barrie Blau...how about one of the greatest upcoming photographers in Philadelphia!!! I've been a professional working model for 3 years now. I've worked with the top rated professionals, and let me tell you...Barrie has some of them blown out of the water! For a 19 year old, I think she has what it takes to charge hundreds for her work...quite honestly, I would pay it because of the results I have seen. Her work is going FIRST in my portfolio because of how impressed I am with the results I received. The shots I got back were my dream shots...I've wanted shots like these for years now and not only did she NAIL IT, but she made me stop and realize, my God...SHE'S 19!!!! I am forever thankful for my experience with Barrie, I can honestly say she is an absolutely amazing photographer that I will definately watch her quickly rise to the top of the charts in no time! Thank you Barrie for my dream pictures!! I cannot wait to show my family!"

- Lily Lisa

"Barrie,

I just wanted to thank you again so much for the photos! They are awesome and thanks to you and your photos I just signed with a great agency! Please let me know if you ever want to shoot again!"

- Rachel D.

"Tyvm for the comments. You never cease to amaze me with your work. Your port is one of the best I've seen. Your ability to capture the model at her best is proven in all your series and your use of light is awesome. Don't ever let them get you down and keep up the excellent work."

- KMThomas (Photographer)

"I had a GREAT time working with Barrie. She was really easy to get along with and very open minded and creative when it came to the visions for the pictures. I really hope to work with Barrie soon on a really cool project (already have on in mind with the make-up artist!) I would highly recommend this great photographer if you are looking for a fun shoot with no boundaries!"

- Arpita

"Barrie was super to work with, and I definitely plan on shooting with her again. The photo-shoot was laid-back, professional, and original. We collaborated easily on the shots, and got some fantastic photographs. Barries website demonstrates her creativity and maturity, even at such a young age, and it is quite clear she is going to go places with this. She is an extremely dedicated and unique photographer, and I cant wait to see the finished product!"

- Rose

"your pics were just so awesome .. i had to upgrade my MM account to give you an album ...:)....had fun .. maybe someday ill b in your area and we can meet up again."

- Starlyn Rose
