Let me begin with what matters most to me! My family. I’ve been married to my best friend, Kevin, for 28 wonderful years, and together we’ve raised a houseful of boys who’ve grown into remarkable young men. These days, I proudly wear a new title~Baba (that’s Ukrainian for grandma!)~to the sweetest, giggliest grand~babies you can imagine. Spoiling them? That’s my favourite pastime.

                                                         My Photography Journey

I've been photographing newborn going on 15 years now. Photography has always been my passion and purpose for many years. I didn’t just stumble into this~I pursued it with a passion and intention. From college~level photography, continued college courses and hands~on mentoring to in-person workshops and self~study, I’ve spent years refining and honing my craft.

As an Accredited photographer with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC) and a Certified Newborn Photographer with APNPI, your baby’s safety, comfort, and natural beauty are always my top priority.

                                                      What Makes My Work Unique...

Capturing genuine emotion takes more than a camera~it takes patience, presence, and a whole lot of heart. I create a calm, welcoming space where families feel at ease~whether I’m soothing a sleepy newborn, engaging a curious toddler, or helping parents relax in front of the lens.

My style blends classic elegance with rustic, vintage-inspired charm~wrapped in warm, earthy tones that evoke a timeless, organic feel.

                                  Thoughtfully Curated Props & Newborn Client Closet

I’ve lovingly curated a studio full of luxurious, Ethically sourced props from trusted artisan vendors across Canada, the U.K and Europe. From delicate lace rompers to cozy hand~knit bonnets, every detail is chosen to complement your baby’s natural sweetness.

With a fully stocked newborn client closet, there’s nothing you need to bring~just your baby. I’ll take care of the rest.


                                                 The Moments I Love to Capture

From the quiet anticipation of a growing bump, to first smiles, sleepy newborn stretches, tiny toes, and playful childhood giggles~these are the stories I live to tell.

                                                          My goal is simple

To create authentic, heartfelt images that celebrate your family’s journey in a way that feels natural, timeless, and uniquely yours.

                                       Why Choose Meraki Photographic Creations?
