When it comes to photography, I am equally as excited about the process as I am about the outcome. At eight years old, I documented my family’s trip to the Black Sea in Crimea with my first inexpensive Kodak film camera. I still have the grainy prints of the seagulls soaring over the splashing waves, my little brother posing up a prickly branch of the Crimean Cypress, and the nostalgic scene of an old couple taking a stroll on the boardwalk. The mechanical clicks and knob turns of that film camera affixed my memories to these places and experiences and I got addicted to photography.

In 2010, I graduated from the National Academy of Arts in Kyiv (Ukraine) with focus in marketing, communication and design. During this time I developed my own individual style and point of view, and learned to build a narrative into my photography.

Since then, I have worked on various projects alongside PSB Films production company and Ukrainian Film Commission. I dabbled in life event photography and captured beautiful engagements and weddings. My work has been featured in Girls on Film zines, VSCO Selects, Urban Outfitters Blog, and printed in Define Magazine.

Since having children, I’ve entered a new season of creating and enjoy capturing lifestyle family photos and portraits, where children are often the main characters.

If you resonate with my work, and interested in family, engagement, or portrait sessions please reach out through the Contact form, and I will be in touch. I am based in Naperville, IL but love to travel.

I would love to come alongside your story, and look forward to creating with you!
