This post is about poto reportage form last weekend. We went to Toronto to capture Birthday of my goddaughter. I can not believe she is 5 years old now. Time flies fast.
I can say it was fun to see cute and happy faces around

Beautiful! I love this whole session and especially love your picture with a new hair styling!
I love fashion
I love fashion magazines
I can spend hours with Vogue in my hands…
I get many new ideas from every page…colors, poses, fabric, mood…..everything can be a part of the brainstorm for new photo shoot. I never try to copy, no… All these details transform into my own fantasy and I start to plan my next photo project.
Here are some my favorite photographs which inspire me:
Happy New Year my friends!
This is my first post in 2010.
New Year for me is always new dreams, new plans, new feelings. Everything is changes and I love to be a part of these changes
I spend these holidays with Oleksiy and our friends. I enjoy every second of this days…
I like the snow through the window.
I drink a lot of hot tea. Honey. Lemon. Sweets. ummm
I am excited to meet with new couples and to make preparations for this upcoming wedding season…
I am more than excited to move in new house soon )))) and to meet my new clients in my own studio!
There is so much news in my life which makes me happy!
Actually this post is about album. We captured Bat Mitzvah last year in Philadelphia and finally I have got an album for Brianna. Here are some favorite layouts from the album:
It was warm beautiful September day. Sergey and Dana came from Chicago to Buffalo to attend Wedding of our friends. We plan our photo shoot a long time ago, so it was a wonderful opportunity for both of us.
These two are soo beautiful couple and what surprised me-they are both artists!
We spent amazing time together walking in streets of downtown and enjoying the perfect weather.
Thanks for a fabulous time guys!!!
P.S. Sergey, thank you again for my logo!!!! I love it!
Here are some of my favorites:

I love when a couple asks me for a photo shoot. Not only for wedding or engagement sessions….Every couple goes through different levels in their relationship and each stage is worth to be captured. I love to keep memories of every beautiful moment in my life and I wish I had pictures of them all …. As for me, photographs is the only thing which gives us a chance to experience the most beautiful moment one more time . Really, I have tons of photographs and sometimes Oleksiy and I pour a glass of wine and open a box with our photographs….from our childhood, from days when we first went to school and from the time when we first met and..and…and….
Today I want to post a sneak peek from one beautiful session. These guys look gorgeous and we had a lot of fun together! I cannot wait to show you more soon!!!!!
You may remember this cute couple from the e-session couple weeks ago..
Linh and Uyen-Ha had a wonderful Wedding day filled with colors, traditional elements and beautiful traditional suites and dresses. There were two wedding ceremonies – first one is traditional Vietnamese and second is catholic. Traditional weddings are always special. It always feels like a special one day journey to a different country, dive to a culture – music, cuisine, traditions. It is always exciting and fun to shoot.
After the ceremony the weather surprised us with shower. It was raining cats and dogs and we had to run to a new location. Interesting fact is that every time when we stopped in the new location and started to shoot, right after 10-20 shots rain was catching up on us. However it did not change anything, rain brought some special mood to pictures. In the end we are all had fun.

My favorite shot out of this wedding is behind the rainy window. Beautiful!

I have to agree with both Elena and Alyssa. Really beautiful work.
Ok, It feels like I was planning to make this post every day during the last 3 weeks and my weddings are always have higher priority.
All of my blog readers remember my friend Elena . She is my close friend and I will shoot her Wedding this September (Cannot wait for this day!).
Once I asked her for the emergency shoot for me and Oleksiy (the reason is secretly covered yet).
We both were utterly busy that day and the weather did not give us a hand as well. We decided to make quick shoot on our deck. Oleksiy was in a playful silly mood and it made for Elena even more difficult task!
When I saw the results I was sooo happy! I have got even more then I expected!
Thank you Len, you should practice in photography and I am sure, in future it will be your full time career))
P.S. Elena has a blog and she provides a lot of tips for a brides there!

In my turn, I felt really honored to be the one you asked to shoot your portraits!
Yulka, your help, guidance and encouragement means a lot! I feel really lucky to have a friend that is such a great example for me! While I am happily anticipating my wedding (in 1 month!), of course the preparations don't give me a chance for practicing photography as much as I want to. But after the wedding, I promise, you'll see much more about photography and my sessions on my blog.

You guys are so cute!
I met Paul for the first time about year ago. When my friend Anna showed me sweet coffee place called “Chow chocolat”. Paul work there. As was discovered later, this guy is a talented musician, he plays on Bayan, accordion and classical guitar. He really is a fantastic guy! You can check his MySpace page and listen his music, check his schedule for performances.
Interesting fact is- we have a lot in common with Paul : We were born in same day, month and same year!!!!! He loves to travel. His last trip was to Morocco and Spain where he spent a month. It is always exciting to meet great person and to have a lot in common :-)
Well, back to photography. That day I did not care about the light- it was too beautiful….Paul have got a permission to shoot on the roof with a wonderful view to downtown of Buffalo (I dreamed about this opportunity for long time). The sky provided dramatic atmosphere for pictures and I just love it! Paul, thank you for being so easy going person, for your music, inspiration and for extra chocolates on the plate :-)
I hope you will like photographs and choose some of them for your new website!
