Born and raised in Odessa, Ukraine, a beautiful city on the Black Sea, I moved to the USA in 2017. I met my husband, who grew up in Tomball and was working overseas at that time, and our love story then began. Here we are now, raising our 3 incredible children in Tomball, and occasionally visiting my native city Odessa.

It took me some time to come to my biggest passion – photography. I studied at 2 colleges in Ukraine and have a masters degree in linguistics and bachelors in clinical psychology. Occasionally I was photographing my friends, nature, animals, and I truly enjoyed that. My father was a big photography enthusiast and I remember his old film camera, black and white shots, and how excited I was holding my breath in that darkroom while we were developing the negatives and seeing the images coming alive on that white paper. Almost 20 years went by since my father passed away and you know what, I am still looking through these black & white photos, and they bring up memories that seem to fade.

Time flies, and I especially realized that when I had my baby, my rainbow baby. I was taking so many photos of my son because he was changing so fast, and I wanted to capture all his tiny features. That was the beginning of my specialization in newborn photography. I took a course in Professional Photography at the New York Institute of Photography, followed by an extensive education in newborn posing & safety from the leaders of the industry, attended several hands-on workshops, joined Professional Photographers of America, and continue to perfect and improve my skill to serve you best!

Since my photography journey began, I’ve met so many amazing families that have trusted me with their little ones and let me capture precious milestones in their family story. That is what I am so grateful for and cherish so much in my job, being a part of their life, seeing them grow, their first smiles, first steps, how cute and smart they all become, and then they come back with their newborn siblings, seeing the love and care these families share. Being a part of this is the greatest gift I am given!
