Yesterday, these wonderful people celebrated their first wedding anniversary — a day that feels truly special to me as well ❤️.

That meeting shifted the direction of my work last year — it brought a fresh wave of inspiration and change. The light, those faces, and the atmosphere of that day are still with me. It felt like I had stepped into the kind of story I’ve always wanted to capture 🎞️.

I decided to turn these moments into a printed book for them, so their memories could live beyond the screen 📘. And I genuinely love how it turned out — I’ve only ever created books like this for myself before.

Soon, these books will be available on my website, so you’ll be able to order one after your own shoot.

Starting this year with some special news ❤️‍🔥
My team is now two people 📸🎥!

I’m so happy to officially share that my husband is joining me on projects. He’s a filmmaker with over 10 years of experience, a strong visual sense, a beautiful cinematic eye, an incredibly creative mind and just my best partner in crime. We’ve already created many projects together, and now we’re excited to take our collaboration to the next level and work even more closely on your stories.

Many clients have asked whether it’s possible to have both photo and video coverage. The answer is yes! Our styles complement each other naturally, and creating together feels very special to us ✨.

We’re already looking forward to the projects waiting for us this year! Thank you for choosing us ❤️

Last spring, surrounded by blooming trees, we created these quiet family portraits in the countryside.

Before we started, the question was natural — «what should we do in front of the camera to make the photos look good?» For many people, being in front of the camera can feel a little unfamiliar.

So instead of rushing, we slowed down. We even had a small picnic, giving everyone space to relax, breathe, and just be together.

And that’s always the key.
When you feel comfortable and stay natural, the real moments come through.

Everything else — I’ll gently capture for you 📸.

2025 was an unexpected year for me 💌.
After years of focusing on personal and creative photography, I found my way back to weddings — and discovered a whole new source of inspiration, my own approach, and so many beautiful new connections.

Honestly, for a long time, I thought this niche was too serious and too limiting for me — that it wasn’t a place for someone with my way of seeing. I was very wrong.
I met so many beautiful couples who were drawn to a quieter, more artistic and cinematic way of seeing, and who invited me to document their stories in my own way 🥹.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who welcomed me into their projects, shared their stories and families with me, and especially to the couples who chose me for their wedding day. Your confidence in me means more than you know ❤️.

I’m already looking forward to 2026 and all the beautiful collaborations to come ✨

When I talk with couples about their wedding plans, they often ask if I do family portraits, not just the natural, candid moments.
The answer is always yes! Portraits have a long and meaningful history: they’ve been a way to mark important moments, to honor the people who shape a family’s story. I love being able to continue that tradition and create family portraits that will become part of your family’s history 📕

This day with the family was a gentle reminder for me that life is made of tiny, meaningful gestures 🤍.
Sometimes we may pass these moments by, unaware of their simple magic.
Photography lets us step back and see our own lives from a different perspective. It invites reflection, and a quiet gratitude for the beauty that’s already around us. I’m always thankful to be part of that, to witness it, and to help preserve these moments 💌.
