Hi there, and thank you for visiting!
I’m Natasha, a storyteller of new beginnings. My home is in Rancho Cordova, Northern California, where I share life’s journey with my loves - my husband, Andriy, and our daughters, Varvara and Erika.
Why I’m here for You?
My “why” comes from my own births. I was completely broken emotionally after my first one, and during my second, I didn’t feel supported, even though I had a doula with me. Only now do I understand how important those experiences were in leading me to the amazing place where I am today.
Today, I carry deep gratitude for my births, because through them I gained two powerful truths. First - every woman deserves to be truly seen and lovingly supported at every step along the way. And the second truth - woman deserves her true birth journey - her real birth. Not rewritten by anyone, not interrupted, not taken away, but a story written by her own nature.
These two truths are the heart of my why. They are not lessons I found in books or ideas I gathered on the surface. They come from the depths of my own experience, from the place where pain was transformed into purpose.
Because of what I went through, I know how to truly be there. I carry a deep calling to stand as a warrior for every woman - to help you avoid the experience I had, and to honor the truth that your birth story matters.
I still dream of experiencing my third birth, and I believe it will be the most beautiful one yet. But for now, I’m here for you: to hold space, to document your journey, and very soon, to advocate for you.
Varvara’s Birthday
I first picked up a camera over 9 years ago, while pregnant with my first child, and fell in love with documenting life’s most meaningful moments. Since then, I’ve captured families and newborns, and entrepreneurs and creators, balancing their dreams with motherhood.
Erika’s Birthday
Only with time do we truly realize the meaning behind all these photos and videos. When my first baby was born, I began documenting our family’s journey - their childhood, their lives unfolding, the way they grow and change.
Now my daughter is 10, and it still amazes me that we can sit together and watch a video of her at just two years old - waking up to a cake surprise in her bed, her little voice, her laughter, her pure joy. Moments like these are priceless. The more time passes, the more value these memories hold.
This deep understanding is what inspires me to create the same gift for other families. Sadly, when I gave birth, I didn’t even know this kind of work existed. I couldn’t imagine that someone could show up for me in the middle of the night, stay for hours or even days, and document my story with such devotion.
So when I first discovered birth photography, I didn’t hesitate - I said yes to the very first family that asked me to come. And it was absolutely mind-blowing. That was the beginning of my transformation and my entry into the beautiful world of birth.
