I want to capture the most authentically beautiful, mesmerizing portrait of every client I work with. I want it to represent everything that is important to them - everything that makes them 'THEM'. So, I like to connect with my clients and ask them to describe their vision for the project, what inspires them, which styles they like.

We might be going for a stylization that will be different than their daily self. That what dreams are for, right? Nevertheless, I would love to keep the original beauty of heir personality. As Irene Adler said: "Do you know the big problem with a disguise? However hard you try, it's always a self-portrait." I want to use this self-portrait to create the most mesmerizing image that will still show them as they are.

I'm a Denver based photographer, specializing in Fine Art portraits, Fantasy, High-end Fashion, and Aesthetic Boudoir. My photography is not limited to these genres - I simply enjoy working on unique, complex and challenging projects that have a lot of space for creativity and require a strong skill set.

I love to give people a possibility to unleash their inner self, to experience something unusually beautiful and dreamy. Even more, I love to see their reaction when they realize that this surreal beauty is their own image, captured through my lens! It is never solely about taking photos, it is about giving my clients a possibility to experience a dream photo session that will bring to life great parts of their personalities they never knew they had. That is why I love photography! Whilst it is my main occupation that took me all over the world throughout the recent 15 years, I also work on various projects as an art director, model, fashion designer, life coach and troubleshooter.

I was a dreamer since I remember myself… Vivid pictures of the most unreal and spectacular reveries are always parading in my mind fueling my imagination – good that natural predisposition for engineering and unstoppable desire for active development made me an artist who does not linger over those marvellous pictures but who brings them to life!
Over the last decade, I dived into many forms of making visions real and that’s what I enjoy in life the most. I started as a teenage photographer and student in Modelling & Acting Agency – both paths gave me a good foundation to explore further. Currently, I’m occupying myself mostly with photography and modelling (sometimes simultaneously, in the most creative forms), outfits & graphic design, Digital Marketing and Troubleshooting. Additionally, I support some of my clients as a life coach and a fitness advisor.
My curiosity to discover more was always motivating me for further artistic exploits, therefore I’m constantly honing my skills and crave to annihilate any boredom that may appear on the horizon.

I think I was born to be wild and my mind is always full of ideas that don’t let me be passive. Thanks to my mother since my childhood I was involved in various artistic ventures like playing in TV advertisements, TV shows, singing, leading festivals and fashion shows where I would sometimes also be a model. I simply couldn’t stay away from the artistic world, nor I wanted to.

Because my goal it to capture the most beautiful portrait they have ever seen of themselves. And I stick to it - I did it for every single client throughout almost 15 years of international experience.

To capture best images we'd definitely need to meet in person. Preparation for the photo session, retouching and delivery of the images is done remotely.

Both, my husband and I are vaccinated. We care for the safety of our clients so we can also wear masks if it would make them feel better.
