It was a pleasure to work with Vlad and his assistant and I love how my new photos turned out! Vlad made it easy to schedule, suggested a location that perfectly captured the spirit of what I needed, and was incredibly detail-oriented throughout the session. My 15 year-old daughter who was sitting next to me as I looked through the gallery absolutely loved them as well. As you might imagine, impressing a teenager who is on social media is not easy! If you are looking for efficiency, professionalism, and soft, natural photos that capture the essence of you, no matter what the occasion, Vlad is your photographer.

Amazing photos and amazing experience! Extremely communicative with fast responses. When I sent a message on the website to request an appointment, I got such a quick response that I initially thought it must be an auto-reply! But it was a personalized message written by him He really knows how to work with young kids. He photographed my family of 4 which included a 2 year old and a 5 month old who were obviously difficult to wrangle. My 2 year old kept wanting to hold her doll and I was trying to take it from her so we could start the shoot, but he said he could work with the doll! And indeed he did! The photos with the doll are extra cute! Sign of a true professional to work with unexpected situations and turn it into something that looked planned! He gave great instructions and we got amazing photos. He brought a bubble wand and picnic blanket, which made for some really fantastic shots! He let us take extra time whenever the kids needed a break, and we got a lot of extra time tacked on to the end that we hadn’t even paid for. Crazy story - he discovered he had a flat tire when we were done and trying to leave the parking lot. It was relatively late in the evening. We had paid for same-day sneak peaks where he sends some edited photos the day of, but when I saw his tire, i told him that he didn’t need to worry about giving them to me that day. And yet he still sent them that same night!

We had the pleasure of working with Vlad for our maternity photos. They did an amazing job directing us with different poses and knew exactly where to take us around the various session spots. They were efficient and professional, and we didn’t feel rushed. We received the edited photos very quickly and the photos came out beautiful! We highly recommend.

We worked with Vlad for our family photos. We had family as young as 4 and as old as 75! Vlad was very accommodating and patient with the kiddos as they got into the groove very very slowly! He was equally patient with our senior family member who has mobility issues. Communication was very easy! Over the phone or text messages or in person (during the shoot), he was listening and thorough in his response. The photos came out great! We’ll be putting them up on our walls for years to come!

If you are looking for a really professional photographer you definitely will find one in Vlad. He is so meticulous about what he is doing. He came to the shooting place much earlier to find a perfect location for his equipment, take test shots and prepare the location so that all you had to do is enjoy the process and relax. The pictures were ready very fast and they turned out incredible, full of life and emotions. Looking forward to many more photo shootings with him 🥰

About Me

Hi, I’m Vlad – a photographer with 8 years of experience, based in Austin, TX.

I believe every moment, from family laughter to heartfelt engagements and unforgettable weddings, deserves to be captured with care and soul.

My passion is creating timeless images that tell real stories — your stories. Whether you’re celebrating your love, gathering your family together, or stepping into a new chapter of life, I’m here to make those memories last forever.

To ensure the highest quality and reliability, I use only professional-grade Canon equipment and lenses. For stunning portraits, I rely on the industry-leading Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L to create beautiful bokeh and razor-sharp images. For versatility across different scenes, my go-to lens is the exceptional Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L.

Data security is my top priority. All sessions are captured simultaneously on two SD cards in the camera to provide immediate redundancy. As soon as possible, all files are saved to a professional NAS (Network-Attached Storage) system with a complete cloud backup, entirely eliminating the risk of damage or loss to your priceless frames.

Let’s create something beautiful together!

A holiday card has a small job: help someone feel connected to your family for a moment. It does not need a perfect pose, a snowy background, or matching sweaters. When relatives and friends pull your card from the mailbox, they want to see the people they know. The challenge is choosing one image from a gallery where several [...]

Austin Baptism Photography: A Guide for Families

By |September 18, 2026|

A baptism is one of those family events that can feel both quiet and significant at the same time. The ceremony itself may last only a short while, but it often brings together grandparents, godparents, siblings, relatives, and close friends who may not all be in the same place very often. That is why baptism photography is about more [...]

On-Site Team Headshots in Austin

By |September 10, 2026|

Updating your company’s headshots can sound like a small project until you start coordinating everyone. One employee works remotely, another has client meetings all morning, and your website designer needs the finished images before a launch. Sending people to separate appointments adds another layer of scheduling. On-site team headshots bring the photography setup to your office. Employees step away [...]

Should You Have an Unplugged Wedding Ceremony?

By |September 2, 2026|

An unplugged wedding ceremony is a ceremony where guests are asked to silence and put away their phones, cameras, and tablets. The rule usually begins before the processional and ends after the couple walks back down the aisle. It does not mean banning phones for the entire wedding. Guests can still take pictures during cocktail hour, portraits, dinner, and [...]
