Hello and welcome to my website! I am a professional portrait and fashion photographer who recently relocated to Calgary and am excited to start a new chapter in my career. I've also had the opportunity to gain valuable experience in two very different and dynamic cities: Las Vegas (USA) and Kyiv (Ukraine). These experiences have allowed me to expand my artistic vision and develop a unique approach to portrait photography. One of my favorite ways to experiment with my craft is by playing with light, as it can completely transform the mood and atmosphere of a photo. Whether it's using natural light or manipulating artificial light sources, I am always looking for new and creative ways to enhance my subjects and create captivating images.

My true passion lies in capturing the unique beauty of every woman who steps in front of my lens. It brings me immense joy to be able to highlight the authentic, genuine beauty of women in my work. Through my photography, I strive to help women feel more confident and to love themselves more.
One of the things I value most in my work is working with individuals who have confidence in my artistic vision and my passion for experimenting with lighting. I take great pride in my work and always strive to create the best possible images for my clients. Whether it's a personal photoshoot or a commercial project, I bring my own unique style and artistic vision to every job. It is a great pleasure to work with people who trust my expertise and give me the creative freedom to explore different techniques and approaches to achieve the best possible results. I am always grateful for the opportunity to work with clients who are open to new ideas and willing to work together to create something truly beautiful and unique.
My mission
As a young girl, I struggled with insecurities about my appearance. But when I was in university, something in me told me that I needed a camera, even though I didn't know what I wanted to shoot at the time. As I experimented with different subjects, I discovered a passion for capturing portraits.
Photography remained just a hobby for many years. But as I took pictures of various girls throughout the years, I began to appreciate the unique beauty of each individual. This led me to realize that my passion for photography had a greater purpose than simply capturing pretty pictures. I wanted to use my art to help women see their own beauty and gain confidence in themselves. That was the moment I decided to pursue photography professionally and dedicate myself to telling the stories of the amazing women who came in front of my lens.
