Why Hello There!
meet your storyteller behind the lensHi, I’m Yana—Sucker for real moments and unfiltered emotions, a dreamer who sees life as a series of cinematic milestones. I truly love capturing raw emotions, the details, and those perfectly 'imperfect' moments. Others have described my work as 'effortless'- which aligns perfectly with how I feel about photography. It’s a blend of cinematic and documentary styles, where I guide moments while capturing them as authentically as possible.

"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"

"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."

"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. "
