She has an amazing eye for light and detail, and she is lovely to work with, immediately putting people at ease. I enjoyed working with her so much that we hired her to photograph another recently completed project, the Bougainvillea House. Again, her work did not disappoint. Her images really captured the spirit of the space and the intention of the architecture. **★★★★★ — Christy Mcgeachy, Nov. 2013** > Mina photographed our home for Houzz and also worked for me personally doing photography for my website. She has an amazing talent and is also incredibly professional. She has an eye that captures the essence of each room. Her use of light is amazing. She has the ability to capture each shot from an incredible vantage point that best portrays the elements of the design. Truly a gifted photographer! **★★★★★ — Amber Duncan, Oct. 2013** > What an honor to meet such an amazing person! Mina captured our home in a manner that even as the owners we were still amazed at the beauty! She was such a pleasure to chat with and made the entire experience painless. As an owner of multiple companies , I always say having the right people to represent you and your brand is key and I would have to say , you nailed it with Mina! **★★★★★ — Sharon Laird, Oct. 2013** > I contacted Mina Brinkey regarding a home in Anna Maria. I am the Interior Designer for the project. She immediately responded, took it to her editor at Houzz and let me know that she would be writing a story on the house. She was extremely thorough and responsive during the entire process. I was not present for the interview with the client but she apparently did a great job while there with them. I was very impressed with the story and photographs of the house. I highly recommend Mina! **★★★★★ — The Blue Moon Trading Company, Oct. 2013** > I have known Mina Brinkley for almost a decade and have had the honor of watching her bloom into an insightful writer with an artist eye for photography. > Our love of all things interiors brought us together and keeps us moving forward and evolving toward the same Goals. > I believe if something stirs you deep in your soul to the point that you are restless, You are meant to pursue it. > Mina is an amazing example of this , she just keeps giving and growing. > I just want to say I knew her when:) **★★★★★ — Shona Carcary, Oct. 2013** > Mina was professional, polite and perfect! She has such an easygoing personality that immediately puts you at ease. She is such a talented photographer and we were honored to have her shoot our home for Houzz. ## Selected projects - [My Houzz: Super Efficiency and Serenity Near the Florida Surf](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/my-houzz-super-efficiency-and-serenity-near-the-florida-surf-pj-vj~503166) -
