ABOUT

Hello there!

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.You might see me as Sasha, Alexa, or Oleksandra — and it’s all me.Sasha is the Ukrainian nickname for Oleksandra, and Alexa is the name I sometimes use for my work. Whichever name you choose — it comes from the same heart.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minnesota, and also a mama to a little boy who’s changed the way I see the world. Motherhood has made me slower in the best way — more present, more aware of how fleeting and precious every moment is.
I’ve spent over 10 years behind the camera, capturing love in all its beautiful forms — the magic of a wedding day, the quiet connection between new parents, the joy and chaos of family life.
My style is simple and heartfelt: timeless images, soft light, honest emotion. I love photographs that feel effortless but speak deeply — the kind you’ll want to hold onto for years. If you’re planning a wedding, waiting for a baby, or just wanting to freeze this season of life — I’d love to be there.To witness, to feel it with you, and to turn it into something lasting — whether it’s an engagement session filled with excitement, a cozy family shoot full of laughter, or a solo portrait to celebrate where you are right now. I’m here to help you tell your story with warmth, honesty, and heart.
