Hi, I’m Yury. A family photographer — and a dad.

I know how fast childhood flies. That’s why I don’t pose or stage — I create space where kids can play, parents can relax, and real moments happen.

With a cinematic eye from my filmmaking background, I turn those little looks, cuddles, and laughs into photographs that feel like movie stills — timeless and emotional.

You’ll leave not just with pictures, but with memories you can hold onto forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should we wear for our photoshoot?

The most important thing is to feel comfortable and be yourselves! I recommend choosing coordinating colors rather than matching outfits. Natural, earthy tones work beautifully on camera—think white, beige, and grey. After booking, I'll send my exclusive style guide with detailed tips to help you plan the perfect outfits without stress.

I'm worried I won't look good in photos.

It's completely normal to feel this way, and my main goal is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful. I specialize in finding the most flattering angles, using natural light, and guiding you into poses that feel authentic. We will focus on the connection and emotion, and I promise to capture you in a way that you will love.

What if my kids are uncooperative?

This is the number one concern for every parent. As a father myself, I have plenty of patience and tricks up my sleeve. Please don't stress if your children are being energetic—I embrace it! I won't force them to sit and smile. Instead, I'll turn the session into a game. The best photos often come from their true, playful personalities.

Where will the photoshoot take place?

Los Angeles and Orange County are full of amazing backdrops! Based on the vibe you're looking for—be it a golden Malibu beach, an urban DTLA setting, or a quiet natural park—I can suggest a variety of locations. We'll work together to choose the perfect spot for your family.

What happens if it rains or someone gets sick?

Don't worry, I'm very flexible. We can reschedule once at no extra cost. I always keep a few backup dates open for situations like this, because I understand that life happens, especially with kids.

How do I book you?

It's simple. First, fill out the inquiry form on my website. I'll get back to you within 24 hours to discuss the details and confirm a date. To officially reserve your session, I require a signed online contract and a 50% retainer. The remaining balance is due on the day of our session.
