​

I am a mother of a 12 years old daughter, who is super independent and acts like a typical teenager; I am a wife and any kind of animal lover.

​

I purchased my first camera at age of 17 and had my interest in photography since, but my family had different plans for me.  Trying to please my parents, I successfully graduated with Pharmacy degree and earned my bachelor in business as well. 

With my marriage I had to relocate all the way from cold Russia to USA and start all over. I tried very hard to find myself in this country: I went to IUPUI for interior design, became a licensed cosmetologist, worked for pharmaceutical company, but none of those felt right...As soon as my daughter was born,  I purchased a new camera and couldn't get enough of capturing her! Kids do grow too fast and all I wanted is to make sure I don't forget a thing about my baby: her tiny toes, her long eyelashes, her first tooth, first steps and falls; the good and the bad, because that's part of a life...
