They're lovely photos indeed. I'm afraid that no, they don't match the real visual experience, at least not my experience. If you look at her photos you'll see that she has paid careful attention to lighting (reflections and shadows suggest that she is using a powerful light source). Also those photos look as if they have been tweaked for levels and contrast in photoshop (not faked - just tweaked to make them look good - and they do look good).
