Welcome to my blog, viewers.

This blog was created to display my work as an artist and a photographer.
From the moment I first looked through the viewfinder, I've fallen more and more in love with the beauty you can create in touching the shutter and freezing that moment forever. I love photographing people, special moments, and once-in-a-lifetime events that will never replay themselves out of your mind again. Life is special and wonderful & I find there is no better way to contain it and make it last than through photographs.

Comments are always welcome and appreciated!!

Thank you for visiting me today!

Tina & Igor



I had the honor of photographing Tina & Igor’s wedding last fall and it was absolutely beautiful.
The décor was put to together by the bride’s own sister, Lana Pyavka, who is a professional florist and event decorator. Since this wedding was special (the last sister of four was getting married), Lana went all out and made every centerpiece unique and different from the rest on the tables in the reception hall. You can check out her work for this wedding and others here: http://amazingfloraldesign.blogspot.com/.
The shoes, the rings, the ivory dress, the flowers, the vintage car, the bedazzled bridesmaids, the Burberry tie, and many more details were all sought after to make this day perfect for this wonderful couple.
 I had a great time with the bridal party throughout the day…everyone was energetic and open to all kinds of ideas, and the day went very smoothly. Thank you and congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Leus.

Check out some of the shots from this one below. Enjoy!
