I live by love — for the Earth, for the people on it, and for the moments that make life feel meaningful.

 

 

mY STORY

 

I was curious about photography since the first phones with the camera! I rediscovered this interest seriously in 2017 when I still lived in Ukraine. It started with taking pictures of my friends, and for a while the core of my work was empowering women. My artistic vision is often life-changing. Woman finding her voice and strength - not because of me but because of how she sees herself on my art.


In 2019 my focus shifted naturally to couples and weddings as my clients were getting married and starting new families. For me it is an honor to be near the radiant energy of love! To document it knowing that people will look at the photos I took for many years after I am gone. I feel it is like creating an echo that isn't global or viral but a lot more impactful on personal levels.


I experiment with genres and techniques all the time. Currently as you are reading I am interested in documentary and street photography. Maybe this is why I am more interested in weddings - because mostly it is documenting quick fleeting moments.

Now I live in Jacksonville, Florida, and travel for work.


I like exploring national parks and beaches. Love watching the Moon rise! I am mildly obsessed with crystals and rocks, collecting them in a pile of treasures like a lil Smaug.

I love home cooked meals and Indian movies. I should probably post the list of my favorite ones! I love hands-on creative projects like crochet, knitting and tufting. I also often experiment with old lenses or film cameras I'm still a beginner in analog film. Also I love cute colorful crystals and natural incense. I love creating wonderful cozy space where my creativity can grow.

If any of this felt familiar to you, or if you simply want your wedding to feel like you, I’d be happy to connect. I always appreciate hearing from people who value presence, honesty, and beauty in its simplest form.
