I create images that celebrate your journey and reflect the beauty of who you are today.
Why Hello There!
meet your storyteller behind the lensHi, I’m Yana — a sucker for real moments and unfiltered emotions. I see life in frames, light, and feeling. I’m drawn to the raw, the detailed, and the beautifully imperfect connections. Others have described my work as 'effortless'- which aligns perfectly with how I feel about photography. It’s a mix of intentional direction and honest storytelling, capturing moments as they truly are, with just a touch of guidance.
For all Generations and Lovers

"After capturing some of our most treasured moments (maternity, newborn & holiday photos), it was easy for us choose Yana for our very untraditional (and last minute) civil wedding. She chose us, really, the moment she showed us how beautiful it can be to keep things simple & candid. Yana went completely out of her way to make a micro wedding shoot work with very little notice; she poured her heart and soul into scouting locations and shoot ideas, while adding her special flare like she always does. Her dedication to our day meant the world to us and our photos reflected just that. Yana isn’t just a photographer; she is someone who takes the time to get to know you & your family, she is able to take your raw emotion & feelings and make them come alive in a photograph so you can not only remember how you looked, but how you felt. Don’t wait another second to book Yana for any and all of those special moments you want to remember forever!"
Cas & family
"Yana is pure magic! When we found out we were expecting our first child we knew we wanted to capture this new adventure through Yanas lens! She instantly made us feel comfortable (we had never had professional photos taken before) and seen the vision I wanted to create while also seamlessly adding hers. She is always down for a cool, unique idea and is incredibly easy to work with! We have had two sessions with Yana as our little family has grown and I could not think of a better person to capture our spirit in print like she does. It is one thing to produce a gorgeous photo but another to actually be able to feel the magic through the photograph, each session I leave with so much confidence and excitement for the next time I get the privilege of being in front of her camera! A beautiful person inside and out! We cannot recommend her enough!"

"Yana is everything you’d want for your photographer - she gives direction when needed and lets the moments flow in between, making a session feel so effortless and fun. My favourite part is she captures images you don’t even realize are happening and turns them into beautiful little moments in time you can remember forever. I truly look for reasons in my life why I can have pictures taken now because she makes it so easy, and her photos NEVER disappoint. Not only can I not recommend her work enough, but her as a person too!!! 11/10"
KAyla & Chris
"Yana was our photographer for a family shoot, and exceeded all expectations! We brought our dog with us, and she was so patient with her throughout the whole process; even holding her leash and simultaneously taking photos at times! We felt so comfortable and appreciated her guidance, positive feedback, and creativity! We’ll be booking again-thank you so much!"

If you are looking for a well rounded and talented photographer - look no further! Whether you are looking for family pictures outdoors, maternity or newborn pictures in the coziness of your home, seasonal mini shoots, business branding, wedding photos and many more themes, Yana can do it all. The experience with Yana from start to finish is super professional including a meeting to talk about ideas and for her to get to know you better and what expectations you have. She makes you feel very comfortable during the photo shoot and knows exactly what to do. The results are incredible and make you want to book again and again! In my opinion, Yana is the most talented and innovative photographer in this province!

"I did a solo photoshoot with Yana this summer and it was such a fun experience. Her photography style is natural and effortless and she made me feel so comfortable and confident being in front of the camera for the first time. The photos turned out so dreamy and beautiful. Yana is so talented and I would recommend her to capture your life’s special moments."
Alyssa, Alex, Oliver & River
"Yana is so sweet! She really makes getting your picture taken feel so effortless and natural. We all know how tough getting nice family photos can be, especially with a squirmy silly toddler. She just snapped pictures over and over and the ones where we weren't even looking at the camera and just being ourselves are some of my favorites. Her editing is beautiful and she is great with children and getting the best pictures of them at the right angles. "
