Hi, I'm Kseniia

The best photographs are the ones you never planned.

I believe the most beautiful photographs are the ones you never planned. The quiet glance between two people. The way your child reaches for your hand. The laughter that happens in between the poses. Those are the moments that become your favorite memories years later.

My photography is inspired by warm evenings, golden sunsets, old films, and real emotions. I won't ask you to smile at the camera every second or make you feel awkward. Instead, I'll gently guide you while giving you the space to simply be yourselves.

Whether we're walking through a field at sunset, standing by the lake, or chasing your little ones around a park, my goal is always the same — to create images that feel timeless, honest, and full of life.

When you look back at your gallery, I don't want you to remember the photos. I want you to remember how that moment felt.

Before we meet

Frequently asked questions

A few things clients often want to know before sending an inquiry.

Where do you photograph sessions?

I'm based in West Sacramento and photograph sessions throughout the Sacramento area and beyond. I love natural locations with trees, open fields, and water, as well as cozy in-home sessions. Travel fees may apply for locations more than 30 miles from Sacramento, and are confirmed before booking.

What if I don't know what to wear or where to shoot?

You don't need to have everything figured out! Once your session is booked, I'll share location options based on the feel you're looking for. I'm also happy to help with outfit ideas so you feel comfortable and your clothes complement the setting.

How soon should I inquire?

Reach out as soon as you have a date or season in mind, especially for fall sessions or weekends, which tend to fill up quickly. Your date is officially reserved once your contract is signed and your $50 retainer is received.

What happens if the weather changes?

I'll keep an eye on the forecast as your session approaches. Cloudy skies can create beautiful, soft light! If rain, strong winds, or unsafe conditions make an outdoor session impractical, we'll work together to reschedule.

When will I receive my gallery?

Mini-session galleries are typically ready within 3–4 days, and full-session galleries within 4–5 days. I'll send you a link to download your edited, high-resolution photos.

Can I request a session that isn't listed?

Absolutely! If you have a special occasion or an idea in mind, I'd love to hear about it. Send me a little about what you're envisioning, and I'll let you know what's possible and provide a personalized quote.
