I have over 10 years in experice in videography. I worked for sears in 2015 as a camera operator learning the dslr for video as well as photography. As a fimmaker, I know the settings are similar to a photo setup. I worked around with many photographers and picked up knowledge and tips on what it takes to a proper exposed and composed photo.

Originally from Belarus, I bring a unique blend of attention to details and artistic vision to my photography. While pursuing my engineering degree, I discovered my passion for capturing the world around me. I honed my skills through workshops and educational programs before embarking on a three-year adventure as a photographer on cruise ships, traversing the globe. Back in Belarus, I transitioned into hard-hitting photojournalism, working for the country's leading daily newspaper, an experience that ignited my dedication to storytelling through powerful imagery. In 2017, I relocated to Chicago, where I continue to thrive as a freelance photographer. My lens captures everything from breaking news and captivating portraits to impactful features. My work has graced the pages of prestigious publications like The Chicago Sun-Times, The Chicago Tribune, and The Daily Mail (UK), showcasing my versatility and dedication. Beyond assignments, I'm deeply passionate about personal projects. Several have even culminated in exhibitions and books, allowing me to share my artistic vision with the world.

Maya has always had a love for photography. From a very early age - if she went, a camera went with her! Maya cultivated that love with darkroom work, photography courses, and contributing to her college as photo editor of the newspaper, yearbook and literary magazine Maya specializes in Maternity Shoots, Newborn Sessions, Children's Photography, Head shots, Engagements and Family Portraits. She also shoots Special Events and Celebrations such as Charity Gala's, Small Weddings and Birthday Parties. If she were to choose a favorite...it definitely would be family photography capturing moments to be shared generation, after generation, after generation.

My passion for photography has been there since I was a young girl. My mother said I’ve always been interested in seeing how pictures were made- this was back in the days when there were only film cameras around.
