My story isn’t really about photography. It’s about people.

I was born in Ukraine — a place where every photo is a memory and every emotion feels like light in the lens. Even when war cast a shadow over my country, I never stopped seeing the light — in people’s eyes, in moments of love, in quiet touches, smiles, and happy tears.

Life brought me to Springfield, Missouri. And here, I kept photographing — but not just pictures. I capture stories. I see the soul behind every moment, and that’s what I want to share. Whether it’s a wedding, a family shoot, or a portrait — I show up quietly, like a friend. Because that’s when the real magic happens — when you feel safe to just be yourself.

Somewhere along this journey, I fell in love with pole dancing. Yeah, sounds unexpected — but it’s powerful, expressive, emotional. Just like photography. It helped me reconnect with movement, vulnerability, and strength in a whole new way.

People recognize my work. I’ve won awards. But what means the most is when a couple hugs me after the shoot and says, “We didn’t think we could look this real.” That’s the peak for me.

I’m not just a photographer. I’m the one who remembers your most meaningful moments — for you.
