★★★★★
We absolutely loved our newborn photo session with Yana and can’t recommend her highly enough. She created such a calm, gentle atmosphere while photographing us and our daughter, and we felt completely at ease throughout the whole experience. The photo gallery we received is beautiful- we love how natural the photos feel and the mix of posed and candid shots. The attention to detail is amazing. We can’t wait to get some prints! It really was such a lovely, memorable morning.

Yana did an absolutely beautiful job of our newborn photos! From the offset, she made my wife and I feel incredibly comfortable, creating a calm and warm environment for the photoshoot. She didn't rush us or force us into awkward poses, instead working around our natural routine and behaviour, and the end result was a set of gorgeous photographs we'll treasure forever. Her passion for her work shines through in both the quality of her work and the way she conducts business; we wholeheartedly recommend using Yana for your own newborn shoot.

We had the most incredible experience with Yana for our pregnancy photoshoot at the beach! As someone who isn't very comfortable posing or taking professional photos, we were a little nervous, but Yana made us feel completely relaxed from start to finish. She suggested a lovely location, provided excellent guidance on what to wear, and made the whole session feel effortless. Her photography style is absolutely stunning and natural. We truly couldn't have picked a better person to capture this incredibly special moment with our bump. Thank you, Yana!

About Us
Yana Balatskaya,
Natural Photographer

Before photography became my profession, it was already part of my life. I was always drawn to the quiet moments—the everyday tenderness and the love that often goes unnoticed.
Like many mothers, I spent years behind the camera, preserving memories while rarely stepping into the frame myself. That perspective shapes everything I do.
I photograph families with sensitivity and calm, creating space for mothers to be present, seen, and remembered—not just as they care for others, but as they are.
