Time to awaken my YouTube too😆😅

I got my dad's camera couple years ago, when my sister found it in bix with all other stuff. And without any questions I asked her to ship it to me because...

I'M BACK!

Super excited to be here in Lacey, WA!

I can say that I finished 2025 with an amazing photoshoot, where everyone had so much fun!

We did this session later in the day, checking the sky every second and hoping that for the next hour we will not have rain. But the sky was a wonderful background!

Most families think if they have active kids they can't have beautiful photos and I'm here telling you that everyone's "normal" do not have to be your normals! If we will need to move fast, have multiple games and do active in motion sessions- we will do this! We always choose a location to be safe for these sessions. And I really love the fact that each family is so different, that we do not have to work with the same "model" for each of them! From this flexibility we end up with amazing photos, perfect memories for you and in the end everyone saying "They had so much fun!"

So for this year I want to have more fun, I want to meet new people and capture more beautiful moments for my clients! Let's see what we will do in 2026!

I had an absolutely fun time with this family! These 3 boys remind me and my sisters. I'm also from a family of 3 girls and I'm the oldest. I was able to recognise who is who in the family and it's made me smile! I had one of them who wanted to help and organize everything, the other who just had fun time and the one who was super serious and ready to be done:D It's like watching me and my sisters again just from differnet time line.

I really love creating special moments for families, especially when they had a long time without photoshoots. I was really missing this wild feeling, when you can go anywhere and have open fields, parks and just enjoy your session! After Korea it's like freedom for me! I can focus on my clients 1000% and not worry that someone is in the background or watching through my shoulder. And these special moments for family are more magical too.

I hope so in 2026 to create more magical and special moments for my clients. This is what I love to do and this is where I want to be! I know 2025 was a little bit slow and full of action in my life, but I'm looking forward to 2026 and getting more stable in one place will be a lot of fun. I have a lot of plans for 2026, So cant wait till I start to work in a new city, prepare a new studio and meet new clients!

My heart is singing! I'm so happy that I had this amazing opportunity to do a photoshoot with a horse again!

For me as a photographer and horse person these sessions are like honey! When Melissa said yes for this session, she did a fabulous job with preparation!

Anyone who thinks that sessions with horses are easy- no! It's like rising time! You have a short window to get everyone looking perfect, because horses move and have her own opinion about everything! 45-60 min session we just move without stopping and thinking that's going on. That's why you need to be ready for this session, have a plan in your head and practice non-stop! But I love these photoshoots every single time when I do them! It's just the next level of magic when you have horses in photos.

Thank you so much Melissa and her family who trusted me with her vision and let me be part of this amazing journey!

I still have one month left here in Arizona and I hope that I will be able to do at least one more session!

This session was just a dream to work with!

At this we were planning to do it in a location 1.30h from base, but because of the road constructions and huge delais, we made the decision that we will do it closer to our home. And you know it was magical! Not only was the weather perfect and warmer than usual, but we were able to do it pretty fast and finish before it got dark!

I just love being back in the States and working all other amazing landscapes and beautiful locations. I really missed that feeling that directed my lens in any direction and I still get georges photos !

Couple weeks ago, when I was riding horses and talking with my trainer, I realized that in the last 4 years I had just a couple sessions with horses! It's crazy! Because before, I was doing photoshoots with them constantly and my portfolio was full of horse- people portraits. Probably I have to work on this and fix it:)

But for now, let's get back to snow. Yes, on snowy days! I found this model/teaching session that I did before leaving New York and never edited it. I can't believe that this beautiful photoshoot never saw daylight and it's totally on me! Client sessions always stand first and my model session or teaching session is not always in first place to edit it. And this one took so long in my folders and time to bring it to the daylight!
