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!

I had a great experience with Vlad. His advice on posing was very helpful, especially since I’m somewhat stiff. Highly recommend!

Vlad has photographed for me twice: family photos and engagement. They both ended up amazing with many photos to choose from! Communication with Vlad is also great, definitely recommend.

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 🥰
