Let's meet!

 

Hey, my name is Mariia

 

But my friends and family call me Masha, so you can too!


I’m a family photographer based in Melbourne, though I took the scenic route to get here. Originally from Europe, I spent time living in the US - where my photography journey began 8 years ago - before my husband sold me on the Aussie dream. Three years later, I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.


What started with capturing weddings naturally evolved into what I love most: telling the stories of families through my lens. I’m not here for the stiff, perfect poses. I’m here for the in-between moments, the loud laughter, and the honest connection that makes your family unique.


My work has been featured in publications like Dirty Boots & Messy Hair and Beloved Journal, but my true passion is giving you memories that feel as real as the moment they happened.

After living far from my own family and building a life abroad, I've learned to treasure these connections even more. Every photo I take is a quiet celebration of

love, belonging, and home.
