Photography is my passion… I have been doing photography as a hobby since I was a teenager. My dad used to teach me how a camera works and how photos can keep our memories alive. They will remind us of the things that our mind would forget, they will help us share our impressions of anything we had once, with others… My Dad encouraged me to travel and the best time for me was to come home with thousands of pictures and share everything I had seen with my dad. He would be very patient listening to my long stories. Then he would critique some of my shots and hint me how to improve them. He always appreciated the opportunity to look through my photos as he used to say that he felt as if he had traveled and seen all that himself. And for me it was very inspiring to bring home my Photo Report about where I had been to as I treasured those moments spent with my dad. And I keep doing that for all these years!
What is photography for me?
It is like writing books, making speeches, or painting on the inspired theme. This is how I see the world and tell others about it. Photography helps me slow down in this hectic life and enjoy the beauty of anything I happen to be around.
All you need is any of these: a camera, an iPad, or a smartphone, together with your desire to learn!
Introduction
I became friends with my camera when I was twelve. My dad gave me a nice camera (Zenith) for my Birthday.I was afraid to touch and break it, it looked too professional to me. My dad explained to me that all technologies are made for people to enjoy them, to enjoy the product they produce! So I was really intrigued but was dying to see the “machine” in action and what it is capable of! I overcame my fear thanks to my dad. He taught me how it operates. Besides teaching me the technical side of photography, I also learned that photos can keep our memories alive! Isn’t that wonderful? We can rely on this tool and record what we find beautiful, interesting and important and share all that with others
At about the same time, when I got my first camera on my Birthday, I was learning English and our teacher was demonstrating big colorful photographs of London Sights. My AWE reaction was obvious and I wanted to know those people who gave us a chance “to travel” without traveling! I thought how great it was to create something like those photos and give others a chance to see the world through your work! And I started dreaming that maybe one day my new camera will help my dream come true!
I always loved how by means of photography I am able to share the beauty of the world around me with others. As if all the viewers go on a trip with me and travel without actual traveling. By education I am a teacher and find myself comfortable teaching kids what I am passionate about!
Nowadays everyone takes pictures: on all kinds of cameras and of course cell phones, tablets, and IPads! It’s hard to imagine our lives without photos, isn’t it? So I was introduced to the world of photography when I was 12 years old and so grateful to my dad who taught me this amazing type of Art which I can’t live without and so willing to share my knowledge with you!
Kids are naturally curious and expressive. I am sure if a child learns photography, his curiosity and creativity can skyrocket!

Larisa has taken our family pictures for years as well as senior photos for our older children. She is always professional and helps us create pictures that capture our personalities. She is great at recommending different locations to help us avoid taking pictures at the same place each year.She does a great job of putting you at ease and has amazing patience when working with young children. We treasure the photos she has taken for us over the years and look forward to future ones to come.
