About me
Hi there!
My name is Pola, I’m a proud Polish native and I came to the United States in 2014. I live in Columbia, SC with my husband and three daughters. Family means the world to me and that’s why I became a lifestyle family photographer.
Capturing real moments and authentic bonds is what makes photography so unique. Life is not picture perfect and that’s why photographing the true relationship your family has is so important to me. Whether it’s laughing together, holding hands, or snuggling, those are the moments that I want you to be able cherish and have forever.
Another thing, that being a parent taught me is that life is about simple things. My favorite ones are hot coffee, ice cream (my favorite flavor is stracciatella and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in US, if you have please let me know!), and a good book. I also recently learned how to make sourdough bread and I’m obsessed!
About my sessions:
Most of my sessions are in your home during the day (between 10am and 2pm) or outdoor around sunset (usually around an hour before).
I give gentle directions and will not ask you to pose. Of course, we can make few “frame” pictures but the rest of the session will mostly be led by kids, we will run, explore, tickle, snuggle and laugh. The session is to capture your relationship so no need to look at the camera, focus on your love and feelings you have for your beloved ones. This will allow us to naturally unfold the real bond and will lead to special shots. I am looking forward to documenting your family’s precious moments in an undirected manner.
