HELLO I’M OLGA

I started as a model when I was 16. This was when I realised something…

Photography is an art – a good photographer sees beauty and captures it for all time.

I also learned that photographs act as triggers for our memories. Captured well, these snapshots in time, paint a picture of our lives. A little snap that you take today can be the only memory someone will have of you many years later, like that fading shot of a grandparent.

When I was 25 I moved to New Zealand and found my new home.
I actually found way more than that – I met the man of my life and now we are happy parents to a little girl. I was taking pictures for quite a while, I was assisting professionals because I thought it was fun. But it was only when I became a mum, I decided that this was what I wanted to do for life.

Capturing real smiles, tears full of love or hugs that are still warm in the photo – this what makes me happy.

I actually love editing in the middle of the night with a cuppa, listening to something relaxing and looking at happy faces. I always find myself smiling to the screen. You will find me taking pictures of a family or capturing every detail of a wedding – two different types of photography. However, to me they are forever bonded. Today I am taking pictures of a happy couple saying their I dos. Tomorrow, I am chasing their kids and trying to get a smile from them.

If you ask me what is a good photograph I will confidently reply:

A good photograph is the one that makes you feel something. This is what I am always aiming for.
