I’m glad to see you here, I’m Svetlana!

How it all began

My love for photography began in 2006, when my grandfather gave me his Zenit camera. Years later, after a career in marketing and a move to the Netherlands, I decided to follow my passion and make photography my work. I still use my grandfather’s lens sometimes. It reminds me how it all began.

My promise to you

I want you to feel comfortable during our session. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about getting everything right. I’ll help when you need it, but I also love capturing what happens naturally: a smile, a look, a little moment between you. I want your photos to feel like you and bring back the way that moment felt.

You captured such a special moment in our lives so perfectly, and I’m so happy we’ll have these memories forever. Thank you for making everything feel so easy and comfortable and for paying attention to every little detail. I’ve already looked through the photos like 10 times!
