Fun family photography
Documenting your joy and love all around Los Angeles, California.
Your Happy
BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED
I want to help you freeze time. To hold onto the love, fun and beauty that makes up your family, because that’s what makes it worth all the effort in the end.
The deep love and joy we feel for our family is everything. While the days linger, the years speed by, and our babies turn into kids and young adults before we know it. I want to help you freeze time. When you look at your photos, I don’t want you to only remember what everyone looked like. I also want you to feel the warm, snuggly embrace of your child, hear their sweet giggle, sense that tight grip of their hand in yours, and see yourself as the gorgeous and fun superhero mom that you are.
“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”
– Audrey Hepburn

Olesya is the best! She’s a super talented photographer who is nice, friendly, very responsive, and all around easy to work with.
On the day of the shoot, she spent so much time with us and was really good with my son, who is notoriously finicky when getting his picture taken. My jaw dropped when I saw the photos. She made us look like the stars of our own magazine lifestyle shoot. I was hoping for just a few good shots and she got us 100. Everyone who I showed the photos to were amazed by what she did with the scenery and my toddler, who’s typically makes for a tough audience. Hire Olesya for any photography needs you have. You won’t regret it!

Olesya strikes a beautiful balance between true visual artistry, and a sense of timing and practicality that's really helpful for families with young children.
She goes to the next level to capture unique moments for your family with creativity and flair, while balancing schedules, timing and mood of the toddlers involved! She waded knee-deep into chilly ocean water during our family beach photo session to make sure our kids were comfortable, all the while shooting and chatting with them. At the end of a challenging hour-long shoot, instead of calling it a night, she suggested we try one last silhouette shot. This final iconic photo really embodies the spirit of our family, and an amazing memory that we'll cherish forever! If you're thinking about hiring her - just do it!

We were over the top thrilled with our experience with Olesya.
She is clearly very talented, and she is extremely organized and helpful. On the big picture day I was ever thankful for her patience and peaceful presence while she captured our young family of 4. She is a kind hearted person who genuinely had our 2 year old smiling and giggling, and our 3 month old at ease. She went with the flow while giving the perfect amount of direction and was also very quick to try something new if any little members weren’t pleased. She’s a mom herself and it shows with her understanding of capturing the family. We will cherish the special pictures and the happy memories from the day! PS - she travels and we had her meet us in Joshua Tree!

Olesya’s work speaks for itself!
She has an excellent eye for light, color, and composition, and her fun personality helped ensure our photos are full of love, tenderness, and smiles! She was super helpful at every step—providing lots of options for locations (with example photos), help with styling, and a thoughtful questionnaire to make sure we got the photos we were hoping for. Olesya was also amazing with our 1 year old, who is somewhat shy with new people at first. Our photos are beautiful and we’ll cherish them forever!

Olesya has such a brilliant eye for light.
She has created some of the most beautiful family photos we could have ever dreamed of for us and I know we will look at these for many years to come with huge smiles on our faces. She makes it all so easy. Her kindness carries over into her photography and it makes it a seamless process for everyone involved. Especially the kids! They have all had so much fun with her and it really comes out in the photos. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for special and unique photos! We are so thankful for her! 5 stars for Olesya!

Olesya is absolutely amazing! She provides a questionnaire to get to know you and your family.
She offered a styling tool and valuable styling feedback. Upon meeting her, she was extremely friendly and built excellent rapport with my two little guys. She radiates joy. She is a true artist. We are thankful for her and the beautiful, treasured photos and service that she provided!! We can’t wait to book our next family photo session with Olesya!

We recently had our family pictures taken by Olesya.
I have 3 very young active little boys and she not only captured their genuine smiles, she became friends with them. She made the photo shoot so easy and fun. They got to play, run and be silly. And the pictures themselves were beautiful. The coloring, lighting, composition & quality. I am so beyond happy with our experience with Olesya and highly recommend her to all of my friends and family. I will be using these photos as gifts to grandparents, displayed in our home and sent out as Christmas cards.
