About Me

Contact

As a photographer and a mom of two, I know that you already do it all!

From dentist appointments to snack duty and juggling everyone’s schedules.

When it comes to your family photos, you deserve to just show up, be present, and actually enjoy the experience. 

I’ll take care of everything: hair and makeup, outfits, location, and keeping the kids happy! So you can finally relax, be in the photos, and feel the love that’s right there in front of you.

You’d be surprised to know…

I didn’t become a photographer because I loved portraits. What actually draws me in is the story behind each photo, the connections, the feeling of belonging that a photograph manages to hold.

  My love for photography started in childhood. I remember our big extended family gatherings, everyone squeezed together on the couch while my dad set up the camera. He was a photographer and cameraman at the local TV Station.

We’d all smile at him, and in that moment, it felt like we were one big family. I remember feeling so happy, so connected.  

 That’s the feeling I want to recreate for everyone I photograph! The sense of togetherness, love and belonging, connection to yourself, being proud of who you are. That’s what feels real and special to me.  

When I’m not behind the camera or editing, I’m … 

I’m watching/listening videos about self-development, and how the mind works. Also spending time with my daughters: reading, going for long walks in the neighborhood, visiting local family events.

  • Favorite way to spend a slow Sunday? Get cozy on a couch and watch a movie. But I don’t remember the last slow Sunday, haha:)
  • One thing people are surprised to learn about you. I’m originally from Siberia, and I always wanted to learn to play drums:)
  • My weirdest talent. Not sure, if it’s a talent…but I can move my nostrils! 
  • I’d drop everything to travel to. Ulan-Ude, Buryatia.
  • Always on repeat. Songs: “Bad Dreams” by Teddy Swims, “Last Dance” by Leisure, “Dreamer” by Sako Isoyan.
