Hello there!
My name is Olga and I am an on-location, natural light lifestyle family photographer serving the city of Chicago and suburbs.
I was a photographer without a specialty, simply taking pictures of everything until my daughter Sophia was born in 2014.
Everything has changed. Focus has shifted. Love shifted. Understanding of the journey through parenthood became front and center in my life, and there I was with my little girl and my camera and no “off” button in my brain for wanting to capture EVERYTHING. And in a natural progression of things, my business focus shifted. My love of photographing families through all their stages was born.
Every time I work with a family I feel honored to witness and capture the most precious moments of their lives. I want your children and grandchildren to treasure these moments and photos that they will get to look back on one day. It is my most sincere dream that my images will bring as much joy to your home today, as they will for many generations to come.
Now, do you want to get a glimpse of what I absolutely adore:
My husband and our children, my family in Russia, city of Chicago, oceans and lake Michigan, chocolate and nuts, travelling, music, exploring new places, a good book, studying photography and children psycology, sunshine and pretty light, photo gear, colors, cheese and red wine.
If you want to chat about a session, or anything else for that matter, drop me a note here. I look forward to hearing from you!
