Hey, I’m Vera. So glad you’re here
I was born in Ukraine and have lived in a few different places, but photography has always felt like home to me. It’s how I hold onto the little things that matter most.
I don’t care much for stiff poses or perfect smiles. What I love is real connection. The way your partner looks at you when you're not paying attention. Your kid running barefoot through the grass. That easy feeling of being with the people you love.
Whether I’m working with families, couples, or small business owners, I keep things simple and laid-back. I’ll guide you when needed, then give you space to just be yourself. The goal is to create photos that actually feel like you.

What it’s like to work with me from start to finish
From the moment you reach out, I’m here to make things easy. I’ll help you choose a location that fits your vibe and walk you through what to wear so you feel confident and comfortable. No stress, no guessing.
On shoot day, it’s all about you and your people. We’ll take our time, move around, talk, and let things unfold naturally. I’ll guide you just enough to keep things flowing, but I’m mostly there to capture what’s already real.
You don’t need to have it all together. You don’t need to know what to do with your hands. Just show up, be yourself, and trust that I’ve got you.

"Of all these shoots, the one with Vera in Nicaragua has remained one of my favorites."
As a full time solo traveler, finding and working with local photographers has become part of my normal travel routine. iPhones and tripods are great, but you just can’t beat a professional who knows the area well. Of all these shoots, the one with Vera in Nicaragua has remained one of my favorites. And the resulting content has performed very well on all my platforms. She picked me up with a welcome drink and we drove out to a more remote and fantastic location for an epic sunset beach shoot. She gave excellent direction on posing, put me right at ease and we had a total blast playing around in the water and the sand to get *the shot* - many times over. Choosing which photos were my favorite was the hardest part. Don’t hesitate booking your own shoot at all! Vera is worth every penny.
