Welcome to my blog!
Yuka-is my short name from Yuliya. Originally, I am from Ukraine.Since my husband and I moved to USA, we live in Buffalo, NY. I started this BLOG to share with you my new pictures from wedding, engagement, glamour sessions and art projects.
A few facts about me: - Before I start my photography career I was a professional dancer ,graphic designer and travel manager
- I travel a lot. I visited 17 countries . Travel is my passion!
- I feel sooo happy to do what I do
- I am always inspired by people, beauty and love. I am inspired by life!
- My dream is to open my own boutique studio, get together with a great team of people who share my passion to photography; and to create art. ~Yuka
When Noa’s mother contacted me about the Bat Mitzvah I was thrilled to capture such an amazing event in Philadelphia again. This is always big challenge and excitement to meet new beautiful family and to capture this big celebration for them. Noa looked stunning and her personality, her smile her cuteness made everything easy going. She and her friends are so much fun! I enjoyed to see about 80 happy cute faces around and to document every moment.
Dear Dawn and Stephen, thank you soo much for inviting us to be a part of this Big day in your life!!!
Here are some of my favorites:
Noa and her friends
Dance with father
Girls, you look stunning!
Fun, fun, fun!

:) Cool pix. It let me think about an author of these pictures as about professional photographer
Spring is around the corner and this is the time when I meet with my couples again for their engagement sessions! I LOVE this time! I LOVE engagement sessions!
Last year was just incredible – every shoot was different, bright and unforgettable. My couples were so creative! They incorporated a lot of fun details to make their photographs exceptional and unique… Seriously, who wants to have boring pictures?! This shoot is all about fun, personality and new experience. We are open for any idea- bicycles, golf, and coffee shop, cook a dinner at home, take an antique car for a drive, or trip to vineries ….. Guys you can get really standout photographs for your engagement album and this is just about you….think, plan and to be different! Hopefully I was able too intrigue you …..This is just for fun! And please do not forget about colors. Bright colors are always looking great on the pictures!
Small tip: If you are too busy and cannot dedicate a lot of time to think and plan, to get inspired – simply go to the nearest book store, grab a cup of coffee and cruise through some magazines. I am sure you will find a ton of ideas.
Last couple weeks have been soo busy I even did not have a chance to think about cup of coffee with cheese…
Moving in a house makes me feel like I have no time at all….I do not know where to begin and how to be super organize now….but I have to. Brrr I need more tea and something sweet to stay optimistic and fresh
Here is another 16×12 wedding album which I sent to my clients last week:
An apple a day keeps a doctor away….
I cannot exist without apples!!! I eat more than six a day and what?! It does not work for me now.
I spent 3 days in my bed and even today I feel like squeezed lemon
I miss my swim pool…. I need to buy new book…I have to packing (we moving to a new house)
Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow…

Those socks are to DIE FOR!! I love them! <3
Last 2009 wedding season was just amazing- filled of new beautiful weddings, meetings, discovers, excitements…..new experience, new goals and achievements. I am thankful for that year in many ways!
I’m constantly amazed going through all my photographs. This is like a little trip to the best time which you never forget.
Anyway, I’d like to thank all you people who were the part of my life during season 2009!
I am posting these “behind the scene”photographs of Oleksiy and me to remember last year.
I love to meet new wedding vendors and build relationships.
Love you The best second shooter ever- my husband!
