Hi, I’m Olya, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself with you. When I’m not behind the lens capturing beautiful moments, I work as a therapist, school counselor, and mental health advocate. I’m an introvert at heart, but I’ve always had a deep passion for connecting with people, which is one of the reasons I love photography so much—it allows me to build meaningful connections and capture genuine emotions.
I’m originally from Ukraine, and my love for photography began when I was just 18. At first, I was drawn to the beauty of nature and landscapes. There was something about the way light played off the trees or how a quiet moment in the mountains could take my breath away. But over the years, I realized that what truly captivated me was capturing people—their emotions, their stories, their connections.
From Hobby to Business
At first, I practiced by taking photos of strangers, asking if I could capture their essence through the lens. This helped me hone my skills and build confidence in my work. I remember feeling nervous, but each click of the camera made me realize that this was something I loved. Eventually, I knew I wanted to do more than just take photos as a hobby. I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and turn photography into a small business, one that I am deeply passionate about.
An Inclusive Photographer
As a photographer, I am committed to inclusivity and making everyone feel welcome in front of the camera. I believe that every person deserves to have their emotions and stories captured in an authentic and beautiful way. My goal is always to create a space where you can be yourself and let your true personality shine.
The Importance of Family and Connection
I also value the time spent with my loved ones—my friends and family mean the world to me. As someone who works in the mental health field, I understand the importance of connection and support. Photography, for me, is a way to preserve those meaningful moments with the people you care about most.
Let's Capture Your Story!
I am so grateful for the journey that photography has taken me on, and I can’t wait to continue capturing the emotions and connections that make life so special. Whether you’re looking to preserve memories with family, celebrate a milestone, or just capture a moment of pure joy, I’d love to be a part of your story.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! Let’s create something beautiful together.
