P
hotography was a creative outlet of Irina's throughout high school, college and into her first career as a nurse. As she was earning her RN BSN degree she was continually taking Art/Photography classes at RISD. Her passion for portrait photography was born in 2010 and wedding photography 2015 when a friend asked Irina to capture her small wedding. She fell in love with wedding photography and realized quickly that this was what she wanted to do with her life.
As a nurse in the local hospital, Irina continues to do what she loves - capturing precious moments/milestones in her clients’ life. She's blessed to be a wife to wonderful person and mom to the amazing boy and fur babies.
When she's not behind the camera, she likes to spend her time chasing her boy and the pup in her backyard, working in the garden, traveling and planning upcoming adventures.

PHILOSOPHY
What's it like to work with me?
ore than anything, I’m inspired by love, joy and intimacy - the kind of intimacy that’s all about holding each other close and creating love and joy in our hearts.
For me, being a photographer isn’t just about curating a collection of pretty photographs, it’s about creating an incredible experience for each and every person who steps in front of my camera. Every session is a guided experience, an opportunity for you to reconnect with each other, to spend time talking, hugging and laughing and being a little silly and playful with each other. By creating space for you to slow down and just be present with each other, you get to walk away from your session feeling closer with your loved ones, and with a collection of photos that capture what you love feels like, not just what you look like.
This means there’s no boring posing, no using the word ‘cheese’, no standing still and awkwardly smiling at the camera.
We’ll constantly be moving and chatting, having fun and hanging out just like friends. As we go I’ll be giving you heaps of direction and looking out for those little moments - I like to call them the 'blink-and-you’ll-miss them' moments, and capturing them for you is my specialty.
Here's what I promise to do:
Never tell you to just "be yourself" - because it's 100% possible to feel like yourself, and still freeze up in front of the camera.
Everything I can to make you feel relaxed & comfortable, because the more fun you are having the more natural your images will be. This means I will laugh with you at the awkwardness of the whole situation, pull funny faces, crack terrible dad jokes, and chat with you (because I want to know all about you too).
Give you lots of tips about how to stand in a flattering way for YOUR body type, where to put your hands (and what to do with them).
Show you photos as we go, so I can get your feedback and hopefully give your confidence a boost when you see how awesome they are!
If that sounds like an experience you want to have, I would love to hear from you.
HECK YES I WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS!

my family
Michael and I got married in the small coastal town Bristol, RI of 2007. We have one beautiful boy, Jacob and 2 fur babies, Piper and Lexi. When we're not working, we spend our days chasing our pup, playing soccer, piano practices, exploring new places and many other fun things and we wouldn't have it any other way!
travel and adventure
I love to travel, to wander, to experience new places, people, and cultures. Discovering a quaint village, sipping an espresso, and taking in breathtaking mountaintop views fill my heart.
We've been to some most beautiful places in US, as well as Europe and even East Asia. My bucket list is constantly growing and two places I want to go to next are Antelope Canyon, AZ and Banff National Park in Canadian Rockies!

My family and I are so fortunate to live near the coast. I've been fascinated with lighthouses and all things coastal since I can remember. Today lighthouses are more a piece of history than a part of the present but they still continue to represent various concepts and values such as strength, safety, hope, navigation, and guiding light. So far, I’ve had the opportunity to visit and photograph 6 lighthouses on East Coast.

I believe gardening soothes your soul! I don’t just love spending time in my garden, I really enjoy getting my hands dirty: planting seeds and bulbs, weeding, digging up plants and pruning. I find the process of sticking my hands into the soil or pinching out early buds to be calming and almost meditative. There are no distractions from social media, emails or other technology. It’s just me, the plants, the wildlife that occasionally creeps by and sound of birds chirping.

THINGS IRINA CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT
- Kristin, L.
Irina is fantastic. She has been taking photos of our family since our almost 4-year-old son was an infant. She always captures beautiful moments. She is great at somehow getting perfect smiles even when my kids do not want to be getting photos taken! I am always happy with the result. She is kind, friendly, and excellent at what she does! We feel very lucky to have her capturing our little family!

It is always a joy to work with Irina and have her photograph our little family!
- Natasha, B.
Irina is amazing! Our family immediately felt very comfortable with Irina and were able to relax and have fun throughout the whole process. She has photographed twins Easter, family beach, twins birthday, maternity and newborn sessions. She was very organized and open to any requests or ideas we had in each photo session. All her photographs were absolutely beautiful and each one is a masterpiece to enjoy for years to come! Irina is very professional and a pleasure to work with! Definitely recommend her and can’t wait to work with her again.

Irina is amazing & we can not recommend her enough!
- Deana, T.
We really enjoyed our recent Fall photo session with Irina! The setting was beautifully staged and she was able to capture several different scenes of our family of five. Our kids were relaxed and had fun with it. We were even able to include our energetic new puppy, thanks to Irina's patience. The mini session was quick and easy and we have many beautiful photos which we will always treasure. Thank you Irina!
