About
❗ Before reaching out, please take a look at my portfolio to make sure my style is what you’re looking for. Thank you for understanding! Hi, I’m Irina, a photographer from greater Boston. I capture maternity, newborn, family, and with a cozy, cinematic feel. My style is a mix of natural and gently posed moments. I love when photos look real — when people smile, move, and connect just like they do in everyday life. I’ll guide you when needed, but I also let moments unfold naturally. My goal is to create warm, timeless images that feel like little pieces of a movie — full of love, calm, and genuine emotion. Pricing • Maternity session starts at $300 • Family session starts at $300 • Newborn session starts at $350 Delivery: ✔️ Private online gallery to download and share within 5-7 business days ✔️ 25-30 digital pictures (depending on the project) professionally edited included

Irina was so lovely and accommodating. My husband and I do not often do photos (we even eloped so we don’t even have professional wedding photos!) so we are very awkward in front of the camera. Irina was able to coach us through poses and able to capture our authentic selves. She also came prepared with examples and poses so we knew what to do. We would definitely hire her again in the future for our photo needs.

Irina was absolutely wonderful to work with for our maternity photos. From the start, she made us feel comfortable and excited about the session, and she was so open and enthusiastic about incorporating our dog into the shoot (which was really important to us!). She gave thoughtful coaching on how to use the spaces in our home, suggesting different rooms, angles, and little tweaks to the scenery that made everything feel natural but still look elevated and polished. We never felt awkward or overly posed—she guided us just enough while still letting us be ourselves. The final photos were beautiful: warm, flattering, and full of emotion. She captured this moment in our lives exactly how we hoped she would, and we’ll treasure these images forever. We’d highly recommend Irina to anyone looking for maternity photos, especially if you want someone who is flexible, creative, and truly cares about the details.

We did a fall maternity photoshoot (35 weeks). Irina was very helpful in recommending outfits that would compliment our location, and vice versa. She was warm, good at providing direction, and did an amazing job balancing our skin tones (we have quite different undertones and often clash in photos - but not this time!)

I had an amazing experience working with Irina! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and professional from start to finish, which made planning my proposal photos so much easier. During the shoot, she was extremely helpful and made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully, and the entire process—from communication to receiving the final images—was seamless. She provided an easy-to-use link for downloading all the photos, which made everything simple and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for such an important moment!

Irina was absolutely wonderful. We are so happy we went with her for our family photos. First off, she picked the perfect location for photos. We got a ton of compliments for the scenery. She also did a great job with editing. We received great comments like "this looks like it belongs in a magazine" or "the best family photos I've seen in a really long time." She was extremely patient with our baby. The funniest part is, our baby wasn't the difficult one, but our dog was complete nut ball being in the open. She was so accommodating considering we wasted a lot of time because of our crazy dog :).

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location
