WHAT DO I DO?

BASED IN Edmonton, Canada, Masha has been taking pictures for more than six years, starting out as a hobby but quickly turning into a professional portraiture business, using her three children to practice her photography and build up a stunning portfolio of portraits. You can check out more of her work on her Facebook page below: www.facebook.com/ MamaandMiaPhotography

I have always admired the Renaissance era art and worked on my own paintings for some time. Once my life changed with the appearance of three beautiful kids, I stopped painting as it was time consuming and too messy! But my artistic nature demanded a way to get unleashed, so I developed an interest in photography.

It began as a hobby but quickly transformed into something more serious. My youngest daughter Mia with her charming and bubbly personality inspired the name for my brand – Mama & Mia Photography. I mostly work in fine-art portraiture, because of the tasteful dramatic combinations of rich colours, textures, looks and, of course, the magical light.

Despite being a photographer for six years and counting, I always find room to grow, overcome ongoing challenges and learn new techniques. One part of my work I enjoy is the ability to show my vision of a moment.
