Street style & process indoor shooting

What I like the most is the process. When process is smooth and everyone is “on the wave” the result is always a blast.

I journal. Ideas, thoughts, promises to myself.

My promises:
• When I notice an intention inside of me I try to take action on it right away, even if it means to write it down to remember (otherwise I’ll come back to the very same thought again and again which will take away my energy).
• I eat slower, noticing tastes, smells, paying attention to the feelings from the food on my plate. It’s a tough one, especially now when baby dictates my free time
• I move more (gentle stretching, deep thoughtful breathing - all counts). The way my body feels directly affects my energy level and the state of my mind.
• I put my phone away when work is done. Real communication is grounding, it helps to feel seen, loved, heard - everything I need.

Hi

My name is Dara and if you landed on this page it’s because something resonated in you while looking at my works.
So here am I, the person behind the camera.

I’m a creator who found her way to the inspiring and beautiful world of videography about 4 years ago.

You see my photographs as well, and I love freezing moments… And yet I sold my soul to the magic of video and chose it to be the main focus in my work.

It was a real coup de foudre when I created my first family mini film about a toddler’s trip to a wintery Finnish forest.
Since then I know where my heart is. I love to film people and their amazing emotions beautifully showing them in a motion of my cinematic videos.

Are you still following?
I’ll try to keep it short.

I now brought my passion to Toronto and have almost a childish dream to reach to as many families, couples and brands as I can with the main message: each unique story filled with passion and emotions deserve to be filmed and shared in a carefully crafted, artistic way. Video preserves everything we cherish: movements, voices, laughter, emotions, gestures.

And I’m a desperate believer that no matter how much time passed, video is the only way to peak back into the past and re-feel every single emotion captured by the camera. And as a mom of two kids I know the power of preserved memories.

I love my work and put all my creativity to make each story shine.
Hope to see you and your stories in my videos.

Home newborn photography and videography vs studio based.

I had this in my mind for a while.
Home photo and video sessions are growing popularity. There is a simple reason: keeping this experience stress free is the key, both for parents and their newborns.

Think of arranging a narrow time slot for studio reservation, putting the right clothes on entire family, driving to the destination place, making sure baby is asleep or content and calm, hoping it’s not too noisy or cold in the studio which could disturb baby’s mood.

This is a lot to think of. It’s also a long list of things which could be out of our control.

On the other hand, having a photographer / videographer to come to your home helps to keep normal routine running, capturing beautiful shots in their natural settings, with a minimum of preparation, changes and stress.

As a mom of a 20 day old baby, I can feel how challenging it would be for me to set a studio session with my baby. After a second week of life babies are still very sleepy but turn to be slightly fussier than right after birth, so keeping them calm while they are awake becomes a possible, yet a complex task.

Still worried that home shots won’t be as nice as in a studio?

With the right amount of day light and a talented professional who knows how to clear up the space, home made shots will be as nice as the ones taken in studio, what is more - they will reflect beautiful positive emotions which is possible to achieve only when family has peace in their mind and hearts.

Life with a newborn: a sacrifice?

When life changes bringing a newly born soul to a family things might go upside down.

There are new priorities around the house: diapers, feeding, sleeping routines.
It doesn’t seem to be much of a “job” but women staying home alone rarely have free hands or time for a good rest, a long shower or even a proper meal. Needless to say any extras such as making sports, putting a makeup or just working stay beyond reachable.

Newborns are demanding. We cope with their demands by being always available.
Skipped meals or plates eaten with one hand while breastfeeding, morning showers taken at noon if lucky, sore backs after holding and soothing baby for hours. All this comes right after a long 40 week pregnancy to our weak, recovering bodies which still need months to regain their strength.

The way we react to the needs of our babies are different. Some of us will rush to calm down and carry babies at mere noise they produce, some will “let it cry and self regulate”. Some will take this care as a full time job, putting all personal activities on hold, and some will continue living their usual life introducing baby to the routine (I personally admire such women, as I can’t be the one).

What important is to stay happy in this new role.
Throwing things to one or the other extremity will raise a feeling of guilt or a feeling of being a victim for sacrificing it all and not being praised in return (nobody really will thank us for neglecting our personal life and dedicating it to a child).

Key is staying focused on ourselves while caring about a baby.
Use help of friends and family offering such help.
Find short minutes throughout a day to do what we want to do, not relating to baby caring.

Our happiness is mirrored to our children. They will be happy not when we sacrifice our lives, but when we are happily combining parenting and our personal interests.

Real change comes with the new soul entering existing family.
Not a single thing will remain as before, every corner of existing routine will be touched and changed by so dependent and needing little person.

Not to turn away any sort of help is a wise thinking. Patience and resilience are needed parental strengths. We never stop mastering it 🙌
