"We love our jobs, and it shows."

"I had no idea I was going to fall in love with photography when I chose a major in architecture, but fall in love I did, during my very last semester at UC Berkeley.

I first became fascinated with photography as a child, back in Moscow, Soviet Union, when my dad would transform our tiny bathroom into a darkroom. In the eerie glow of a red bulb, I watched incomprehensible negative images magically emerge as familiar faces in the developer tray.

I am grateful for my education in architecture and design as it gives me a keen insight into the design process, spacial relationships and flow, and a common language with clients in the design community.

Over the past 35 years, I have been very fortunate to collaborate and forge lasting relationships with numerous architectural, interior design, and construction firms, as well as retail clients such as Target and Neiman Marcus."

With more than a dozen years of experience behind the camera, she has keen eye for detail, lighting and narrative.

With a diverse style that emphasises beautiful light, texture and contrast, her goal with each image is to invite the viewer into the scene, evoke emotion and make them salivate. In order to accomplish that, her focus is on content and style, always aware of creating a strong narrative.
