Hi, I’m Irina,
Newborn and Family Photographer in Portland

I’ve loved photography since I was a child. We had a special cabinet at home filled with family albums, and I spent so much time looking through them. That’s when I realized that photos are the only way to truly go back in time.

I’ve tried many types of photography but when I did my first newborn session, I felt like I was home.

This is where I belong.

Why families choose me

As a mother of three, I know what those first weeks with a new baby feel like — so much love, and also very tiring. My goal is to make your session the easiest part of your week.

My clients often say I’m very patient with babies because I stay calm no matter what. It’s almost impossible to stress me, even if a baby is crying. In my Southwest Portland studio, we never rush — we take all the time your baby needs to feel comfortable.

My promise to you

I want to help you start your own "special cabinet" of memories. I want you to look at these photos years from now and remember how tiny your baby was—and how peaceful you felt in my studio.

I can’t wait to meet your family!

The Studio

My natural-light studio is a calm, minimalist space designed specifically with families in mind. Located in the heart of Southwest Portland, it offers a private and comfortable environment—the perfect setting for newborn, maternity, milestone, and family sessions.

The studio features soft, wrap-around lighting and a neutral aesthetic. This simple, timeless backdrop ensures that the focus stays exactly where it should be: on your connection, your emotions, and your baby’s tiny details. Every corner is crafted to help you feel relaxed, supported, and completely at home.

Designed for Your Comfort

"To make your experience as seamless as possible, the studio is fully equipped with everything you and your little one might need:

  • A Curated Client Wardrobe: Full access to high-quality, timeless clothing options for moms, babies, and young children.

  • Private Amenities: A dedicated room for nursing, changing, or simply resting during our time together.

  • Thoughtful Essentials: Complimentary coffee, snacks, diapers, and wipes are always on hand.

  • Baby-Safe Environment: Every essential is chosen with care, using only clean, baby-safe products.

My studio is located in Southwest Portland, right off Highway 26 and just a few minutes from the Portland Zoo.

It’s an easy, quiet area with plenty of parking right by the building, so getting here with little ones is simple.

There’s a Starbucks just one minute away if you’d like to grab a quick coffee before or after your session.

And nearby parks make it easy for kids to stretch their legs or for your family to take a relaxed walk afterward.
