Hello There!

My name is Daria, and I am passionate about capturing genuine stories that unfold before my lens. My photography style is all about keeping it natural, authentic and fun. I love working with natural light.

If you’d like to see examples of my work, check out the gallery, which includes a few past shoots with my amazing clients.

Please let me know if you have any questions about services/packages or want a custom solution. I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Where are you based?

    I am based between Toronto, Canada & Bali (currently in Bali). However, I am happy to travel for photography.

  • Are you the right photographer for me/us?

    If you like my photography style and examples of previous work, we are at a great starting point. My goal is to make sure your vision comes to life (with a touch of my style), and I like to have a consultation with all my clients before the shoot to talk through all the logistics and ensure we are on the same page about the outcome.

  • I/we don’t know how to pose and might feel awkward in front of a camera. Will you help?

    Of course, this is a big part of my job as a photographer. I want to ensure you feel comfortable and will direct you through the shoot. I love capturing real moments and will guide you through poses/action shots and take candids on the way. If you have a specific ‘shot list’ in mind, we can make it happen and integrate it within the shoot. Still, unless we are talking about a corporate/editorial session, my goal is always to capture genuine emotions.

a couple of FAQs

  • How many images will I/we receive in our gallery, and how long does it take to edit them?

    This depends on the type of shoot we are doing. I typically deliver a few edited shots within the first week after the shoot. You can get a feel for the overall editing time by checking out different standard packages within the services tab (for example, it takes about 2 weeks to deliver a complete gallery for a solo/couple shoot and 1 month for a wedding/event shoot). This will also be negotiated and reflected in the contract I send you after we agree on the finalized scope.

  • Will you retouch the photos?

    I edit all photos and will remove/retouch any temporary skin marks (acne etc.) and adjust wardrobe imperfections/malfunctions where necessary, some background noise etc. Basically, anything that is not your permanent feature or trait. I believe in authenticity and want my photography to reflect this. Therefore, there will be no skin retouching.

  • Can you share all the raw files with me/us?

    I spend a lot of time carefully selecting the best photos from our shoot and enhancing each image in its unique way, so you'll receive a collection that beautifully captures all your special moments and is consistent with my style of photography. For this reason, raw files will not be part of your final gallery.
