Family sessions
I care about you, and I plan with you.
Threads of the Heart
Connection. It’s like a thin thread, holding us close to the people we love—our family, our community. You can’t see it, but you can feel it. It’s in the way we reach out—a touch, a smile, a hug when words aren’t enough. It’s in the little moments that say: 'I see you. I’m here. I love you.'
As a photographer, these moments are everything to me. They’re what I notice, what move me, what I feel in my heart before I even lift my camera. And more than anything, I want to share them with you.
Relaxed experience
Your session is about your experience—about being there with people you love at this moment, doing stuff you love to do, and adding my creative vision. It all results in the images we get.
That's why I don’t do a number of 10-minute sessions in a row.
It’s hard to connect with each other, when there’s a pressure of short time. Remember, when you have to drop off kids to school/daycare etc in the morning. And you have to be on time. Does it make you all relaxed and connected? Or it’s just something to survive and be done with. I want you to look forward to your photo session, not dread it.
Careful planning
I care. I care about your comfort during the session and about you finding time to play with each other.
So we chat beforehand and reflect together on what's important to you at this season of life. I then provide you with access to styling software so you can play and see what style matches your family.
I love getting to know you and connecting, I'm always on your side. And I always have plan B.
Main advice
Relax and have fun. I'm the last person to judge you and your kids.
Your kind words!
Olga is amazing and I’d 100% booking with her. I’ve always been a reluctant photo participant; I worried a formal photography session would feel awkward and stressful with a baby. But, Olga has changed all that for me, and I treasure the photos she’s captured of our family.
Olga puts everyone at ease. Her approach is so natural and relaxed that we barely feel like we’re taking photos. She has an incredible eye for finding beauty in people and places. She’s helped us discover parts of the city that were new to us and see new things in places we know well. The photos themselves are beautiful. Her edits are just right — enhancing the moment without making it feel artificial. I’m so glad we have images that capture our family just as we are. I’m grateful to have met Olga and would highly recommend her for anyone who’s interested in family photography, even if you’re on the fence or don’t normally like your photos.

We hired Olga for our son's first photoshoot. She did such an amazing job - the photos are incredible. We felt super comfortable and easy with Olga although photo shoots can be stressful, especially with a little one who's super active :) Can't recommend Olga enough - it's such a treat to work with her.
