I was born and raised in Minsk, Belarus. My journey into photography began during my school years when my parents gave me my first camera. Soon after, I joined a photography studio, where my passion for visual storytelling first took shape.

After graduating from university, I spent 17 years working in the tourism industry. Photography, however, remained a constant part of my life. In 2012, I graduated from a professional photography school and earned my diploma as a photographer.

Since then, I have participated in photography competitions, exhibitions, and workshops. From 2013, I worked as a freelance photographer for La Dolce Vita magazine in Minsk, Belarus. In November 2014, I held my first solo photography exhibition.

Today I live in Poland, where I continue to develop my own photographic projects, exploring the beauty of everyday life and the stories hidden in ordinary moments.

My greatest inspiration comes from travel, people, nature, and the unique moments that can never be repeated. I am grateful to share my life with my wonderful husband, our two daughters, and our granddaughter.
