About Your Surrey Newborn Photographer
I’m Natalya, a Surrey newborn photographer specializing in refined, natural newborn imagery for families across Surrey and the Lower Mainland.
As a mother of two, I understand how quickly these early days pass and how meaningful it is to preserve them with care and intention.
Over the years, my work has expanded to include baby milestone sessions and family photography, allowing families to preserve their story beyond the newborn stage through elegant and meaningful images.
For over 25 years, photography has been my life’s work. Today, I focus on creating calm, emotionally rich portraits that capture not just how your baby looks — but how this moment in your life feels.
Because of this, my sessions are intentionally designed to be quiet, unhurried, and deeply personal.
✓ An Experienced Newborn Photographer in Surrey
With over 17 years dedicated specifically to newborn photography, my approach is guided by experience, intuition, and a refined attention to detail.
In fact, I was among the first to introduce professional newborn photography in Russia, helping shape the industry in its early stages. Since then, my work has evolved into a recognizable style defined by softness, simplicity, and emotional depth.
Today, I work with families across Surrey and the Lower Mainland who value authenticity, connection, and a natural aesthetic over trends.
✓ A Natural and Minimal Newborn Photography Studio in Surrey
My work is intentionally simple. In particular, I use soft natural light, neutral tones, and minimal styling to keep the focus where it belongs — on your baby and your connection as a family.
Because of this, there are no distractions, no heavy props, and no forced perfection — only real moments, carefully observed and beautifully captured.
✓ A Safe Approach to Newborn Photography in Surrey
Your baby’s safety is always my highest priority. In addition to my photography experience, I have a medical background as a trained junior nurse, which allows me to approach every session with a deeper level of care, awareness, and confidence.
Every session is fully baby-led. I do not force poses or rush the process. Instead, I gently follow your baby’s natural comfort and rhythm.
✓Serving Families Across Surrey and the Lower Mainland
My natural light newborn studio is based in Surrey, BC. However, I regularly work with families throughout the Lower Mainland, including Vancouver, Langley, and Richmond.
In addition, I offer in-home lifestyle sessions, allowing families to be photographed not only in the studio but also in the comfort of their own home.

Beyond working with families, I actively contribute to the photography community on an international level.

My work has been featured in magazines and professional publications. In addition, I am the founder of a large online school where more than 1,000 photographers have been trained.
Over the years, I have inspired not only students but also fellow educators, helping shape modern approaches to newborn and baby photography.
✓ Collaborations
I collaborate with respected industry brands such as Smart Albums and Profoto and contribute to well-known online platforms, including Prophotos.
My images have been selected for presentation by the Australian company Queensberry and recognized with a $2,000 award.
I am a winner of the Russian Art Awards exhibition (1st place and two 2nd place awards), the author of three scientific articles, and the creator of a personal exhibition in Moscow.
For over 17 years (I started my newborn photography journey in 200), I have been leading in-person workshops focused on newborn photography. At the same time, I run one of the most popular (russian) YouTube channel dedicated to photographing newborns and babies.
I have also served as a jury member for the Russian Photo Awards.
