How it all started…
about me
i survived by taking pictures…
Back in Russia, my grandma bought the cheapest camera to take photos of me for her scrapbook. While I enjoyed being the subject, I found joy in photographing landscapes, my cat, and random people. Sometimes, my grandma had to let me know to focus on taking more photos of myself. Her passing when I was 14 led to a move to the United States with my dad at 16. Amidst loss, photography and Photoshop became my solace. With my two best friends who owned professional cameras, I honed my skills by capturing their moments. At 26, my world shattered once more with my dad's sudden passing from a heart attack. Struggling with depression, a small inheritance allowed me to invest in a quality camera and my loyal companion, Luchik. These two things held me through the darkness. Today, I am grateful to have turned my passion into a thriving career.
Behind The Scenes
based wherever you want me to be.
Three of my most significant passions include photography, traveling, and organizing. Over the course of my three decades on Earth, I have embarked on numerous solo travel adventures, exploring a variety of destinations. Regardless of your location, rest assured that I am willing to travel to you without burdening you with travel expenses. With a versatile skill set that encompasses photography, event planning, styling, decorating, and floral arrangement - all of which I owe to the influence of my artistically inclined parents - I am well-equipped to bring your creative visions to life. If my portfolio and my character resonate with you, do not hesitate to reach out and learn more about collaborating together.
