For the people, connections, and moments worth remembering

 

Photographer in the Netherlands | Svetlana Afonina

 

Hi, welcome to my world.

I’m Svetlana Afonina

 

My love for photography began in 2006, when my grandfather gave me his Zenit camera. I spent many years working in marketing, but after moving to the Netherlands, I decided to follow my passion for photography.


I photograph portraits, couples, families, and special events. I’ll guide you when needed, but leave plenty of room for natural moments. My aim is to make you feel comfortable and capture the real emotions and connections that make your story yours.


The moments that feel ordinary today may become the ones you treasure most.

Moments I capture


Portraits, Love, Families

We had so many positive emotions from the preparation, the process, and the final result. The photos are simply wonderful: warm, filled with love and sunshine. Thank you so much for the opportunity to preserve this summer's sunset for the rest of our lives

Sveta, thank you sooo much for these photos. The pictures do not just show static family portraits but real life, emotions and special little moments. Your patience and flexibility with our kids was incredible and made this such a positive experience!

We absolutely loved the experience! Svetlana made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot. The photos turned out like scenes from a movie, natural, emotional, and full of little moments that feel so us.
