Meraki Photographic creations
Hi there, I’m Denise!
Let’s start with the fun stuff! I’m a wife of 28 years to my best friend, Kevin, and the proud mom of all boys—though they’re grown and off being amazing men now. But the real perk of this stage in life? I get to be a Baba (that’s Ukrainian for grandma!) to some ridiculously cute, clever, and sweet grand-babies who light up my world. Spoiling them is my new favorite hobby!
Now, about my photography journey—because that’s why we’re here, right? Through years of college-level photography, self-directed learning, hands-on mentoring from the industry’s finest, and plenty of in-person workshops, I’ve honed my craft as both a photographer and digital artist. That means every session with me turns into a mini art project, designed to give you timeless and unique images to treasure forever.
I bring patience, compassion, and a touch of humor to every session. Whether I’m soothing a newborn, connecting with a wiggly toddler, or putting your entire family at ease, my goal is simple: to make the process fun, relaxed, and memorable.
My style? Think classic and timeless with a sprinkle of rustic and vintage charm. My curated newborn props and sets are designed to complement those sweet first moments of your little one’s life. And as the story-teller of your family’s most precious milestones, I’m here to capture it all—from the baby bump to the newborn snuggles, the first steps to the cheeky grins, and every giggle-filled moment in between.
So, if you think we’re a good fit, let’s create something beautiful together—something you’ll proudly display in your home and cherish forever. I can’t wait to meet you and your loved ones and capture your family’s next big adventure!
Denise ~ xoxo
