Preserving Life's Candid Chronicles. Only true and real emotions.

My style
 
I strive to create a unique experience, helping you to believe that you are special. Forget about trends. Stop looking at others. Begin to look deep into your heart and soul. What you love and how you live. Your life story is worth remembering. Start creating memories of your life today. 

I offer a unique opportunity to feel and see yourself the way you are. To stay true to the way you feel, live, and see this world.

Be real, be unique, and be true to yourself. There won't be many posed and classic poses. Let's start thinking differently.

I want you to start thinking of your family, feelings, and connections, without thinking what others might think.

Stop comparing yourself with others. We are all different, so my mission is to help people start loving themselves the way you were born. To return to your roots, to start valuing what surrounds you in this world. I find it very important for myself as well.  To have memories of my life and my world. After a few years, I can go back to these photographs and see how fulfilled my life was.
My philosophy
 
I love to catch sincere and honest moments;  the way people look, move, play, laugh or talk.  I prefer to call myself a natural light lifestyle photographer. The idea behind my photography is to tell people's story. 

   I prefer to shoot outdoors or at your home location. I use natural light most of the time because I believe that this is the way we see this world. I continually shoot during our time spent together to capture real emotions and unique details, which define you.  I love the photos filled with motion, light, personality and air.

During the photoshoot I usually don’t intervene much but give prompts what to do if I see it’s necessary. I love to take some portraits, details and close-up photos. 

     I like to shoot in a relaxed and natural atmosphere and you don’t have to look all the time into the camera. I want you to do the things you usually do: chat, play, walk, run, eat etc. 

 Just think about things you want to remember about this period of your life – this is what I would like to capture for you. 
FAQ
 
What is the best place for a photosession?

I believe your home is the first place to start thinking of. How many hours and days do you spend there? Isn’t it the place where you feel comfortable and safe? So why not start from there? If you choose from up to 3 hours or 6 hours photo session we can combine home and then go for a walk in the neighborhood. Or we can start outdoors and later go inside, you have lunch, take a break or just relax.
  
If you have a favorite place in the city or in nature, we can go there. There will be a lot of space to walk, run and do your favorite activities together. You can eat an ice cream together on the go or order a pizza and have a picnic under a tree in the park. There are many opportunities and possibilities. You can do something you have never done before and go for a brand-new adventure.

What is the best time for a photosession?

Morning and evening have the most beautiful light for any outdoor photosession.  By morning I mean starting from the sunrise. In the evening it’s 2 hours before the sunset.
 
This light is soft and flattering: the sun is lower on the horizon, which results in softer and more diffused light. I love this light because it creates gentle shadows and minimizes harsh contrasts, resulting in a more flattering and even illumination.
 
If you prefer to stay at home the time of the day doesn’t matter a lot. We just need daylight to capture moments. I use natural light most of the time because I believe that this is the way we see this world.

What happens during the session?

I continually shoot during the time we spend together to capture real emotions and unique details, which define you.  I love the photos filled with motion, light, personality, and air.
I usually don’t intervene much but give prompts on what to do if I see it’s necessary. I love to take portraits, details, and close-up photos. 
 
At the very beginning, there will be no directions from my side. I want you to get used to my presence and the fact that I will be running around you with a camera. This is why it’s a good idea to think of activities you can start doing together or just try not to look in my direction. Live your life, talk, get ready and I will follow you.

 I like to shoot in a relaxed and natural atmosphere and you don’t have to look all the time into the camera. I want you to do the things you usually do: chat, play, walk, run, eat etc. 

Just think about things you want to remember about this period of your life – this is what I would like to capture for you. Make a plan. More tips of what you can do together you can find here.
 
 
What happens after the photosession?

The photographs will be ready in 4 weeks. I will send you a link to a private online gallery where you can download all images in high resolution and also share the photos with your friends and relatives. I advise you to download the photos straight to the computer so you won’t forget it in the future and have access to them all the time.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule a photosession?

If you are unable to attend the session due to illness you should notify me as soon as possible. We will reschedule the session at a mutually agreeable time. I also have kids and I do understand that they are very unpredictable. Don’t worry about it! We will make it within 6 months.

If anything happens and we need to reschedule it, there is no problem. You won’t lose your deposit and we will make it up at a convenient time for everyone.
If you decide to cancel the photosession you can do it as well. But if you cancel it less than 2 weeks before the agreed time the deposit you paid me to secure the date will remain.

What happens if I cannot make to a photosession?

If for any reason, I won’t be able to come to the photosession we will either find a new time and day, or if you cannot change the date I will return your deposit in full amount.

Do you do retouch and give  RAW images?

I don't do much of retouch or photoshop. So don't expect me to change the sky or your body. I like organic photographs with the feel of reality. The reality we live in. My photography is about the truth.

I don't provide RAW materials. You will receive enough photos. For me the quality matters the most.
