Nastya, photographer

About me

Hi, I’m Nastya, a photographer specializing in newborn, maternity, couples, and family photoshoots, edited in a true-to-color style with light retouching.

Originally from Ukraine and having worked across Europe and the USA for over five years, I actually fell in love with photography more than a decade ago. Each client is the center of my work, and I aim to show them the uniqueness of their stories.

My favorite part of being a photographer is capturing the candidness and magic of the moments I see. While I will slightly refine staging and poses, I strive to make my clients feel at ease and keep the moment sincere and spontaneous. I edit pictures in a true-to-color style with minor retouching when needed.

My hope is that every photoshoot I do will allow my clients to go back in time and relive a cherished moment whenever they want. So let’s start collecting memories together!

FAQ

Go to the contact me page and send me a message with the information about you and the type of photoshoot you are interested in.

For weddings, 3–6 months in advance is recommended. For family, pregnancy and portrait sessions, 2–3 weeks is usually enough, depending on the season.

Sessions can take place outdoors in and around Irving, at your home, or at a rented studio — we choose the location together based on the mood you want.

A standard session lasts about one hour. Weddings and special events are arranged individually depending on your programme.

The number of edited pictures depends on the package we agree on. You can also indicate your preferred number in the booking form.

Edited photos are usually delivered within 2–3 weeks after the session. Weddings can take a little longer due to the larger number of pictures.

Yes, a deposit of 50$ is required to confirm your booking. The deposit goes towards the total price of the photoshoot.

We simply reschedule to the next convenient date, or move the session indoors — whichever you prefer. The deposit stays valid.

Yes — newborn sessions are very comfortable at home, in your baby's familiar environment. I bring everything needed for a calm, safe session.

Yes, I work across Texas and would love to travel for your event out of state or abroad. For locations outside the DFW area a small travel fee may apply — it will be agreed before the session.

Absolutely. You don't need any experience — I guide you through natural poses and prompts so the photos look relaxed and real.

Of course! Pets are family too and they are always welcome at outdoor and at-home sessions.

You will receive a private online gallery from which you can view, download and share your pictures in full resolution.

I deliver the unedited pictures as JPGs, but not the RAW files. Alongside them you receive the carefully edited, high-resolution images — editing is an essential part of my photography style.

Yes, additional pictures from your gallery can be ordered for editing after the session for a small fee per photo.

Only with your consent. In the booking form you can choose whether you agree to your photos being shared in my gallery and social media.
