Why I am here:

I just love taking pictures, love capturing those special moments for others.

I am not here to take model-like photos - we live in Edmonton, not Hollywood afterall - I am here to try and bring the real you out, to seize that unique personality, and let you remember "the good old days" many years after.

My style:

You may expect custom candid (journalistic) photos out of your session(s). 

I typically try to blend in (camo clothes and all) so you are not self-concious of being the centre of attention. Less posing and more capturing of the natural moments!

Also, I prefer to book only one photo session per day to renew my energy levels to 100% for your needs!

Photos I am willing to do:

• Newborns, babies, children
• Families, graduations, reunions
• Engagements, weddings, trash-the-dress 
• Commercial & corporate
• Others possible upon request

How I got here:

Born and raised in western Ukraine until I was 10 years of age. Our family moved here in 2000. We love Canada, but also miss the family and friends from back home.

I am currently attending college, studying in a business accounting degree program. Photography is my summer hobby, my "chill pill" from the otherwise crazy life.

 
My favourite ways to spend time:
Photographing, reading, cooking, volunteering, dancing, drawing/carving, bicycling, learning new things, floating in pools, tanning (the natural kind).

My music:
Nearly everything that has either a good beat, good lyrics, or both.

All-time favourites are "Horizon's" by Genesis and "Beautiful Life" by Fisher.

 
A quote to live by:

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
