My Story

I am an on location, natural light, lifestyle and portrait photographer specializing in newborns, children and families. My passion for photography blossomed when I was pregnant with my first son. I was determined to learn all I could so that I could beautifully document his life. Now as a mom of 2, my passion for photography has grown exponentially and has expanded into my own business. I'm so blessed to be able to be a part of the most precious moments in a child's life. Capturing their first moments, their tiny fingers and toes, chubby cheeks, sweet smiles, infectious laughter, curious nature, inquisitive stares, snuggles and kisses for mom and dad, and the joy they have in the simple art of play makes my job the best in the world.

"Our session with Yuri was wonderful! She made us feel so comfortable. The pictures looked very genuine and natural (not overly posed or contrived as some photographers do). Her style and creativity captured beautiful moments of our family. She was very professional but at the same time approachable - open to hearing our ideas or requests. We will definitely work with Yuri again and would highly recommend her work!" - Sara B.

"It is such a pleasure to get to work with Yuri. First, she is easy to communicate with and flexible when we (the kids) needed it. When she arrived, she immediately began playing with the girls, getting them to feel comfortable and smile for her. She has a ton of energy and is obviously very comfortable around babies and kids. The images she captured were awesome! It is not easy to get 1 year old twins to smile at the same time, but she did it and got some beautiful shots. They perfectly captured our girls and their energy. We can't wait to get them up on our walls!" - Lisa P.

"We really enjoyed working with Yuri. We have been lucky enough to have her do a photo shoot for both of our girls. She came into our home with great energy and enthusiasm for our photo shoot. We were impressed by her high level of knowledge and professionalism in her field. She is very talented with the camera and has a special gift for finding and constructing the perfect poses. For both of our girls' I noticed that she had a very calming effect on both of them, with a special ability to make them feel safe in her arms and in their environment." - Kirsten D.

"Yuri did such a wonderful job photographing our newborn son! She explained her vision and provided all of the information we needed prior to the shoot, so we felt prepared and relaxed and were able to enjoy the process. The resulting photos are absolutely gorgeous and we have received so many compliments on how professional, yet natural, they look. As a mother of two, Yuri brings both professional skill and an intimate knowledge of babies to her work, and she exudes love and tranquility. In sum, Yuri is a very talented photographer and an absolute pleasure to work with!" - Erica M.
