My name is Vera and I am a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in the Netherlands.

I was born in a small town in Siberia, Russia. There I went to university to become an English teacher. My endeavours in photography started back then. Wherever I went I always had a camera with me.

In August 2012 I moved to the Netherlands so I could be with the love of my life. It was a hard decision to make. I had to leave everything behind: my family and friends, my job and the relationships I had built up with the people I photographed there.

I currently live in Ede, a nice and quiet town in the center of the country. It’s a wonderful place surrounded by forests and meadows, which allows me to pursue one of my other hobbies of hiking and exploring.

I love photographing people and I am passionate about telling a story and capturing real-life moments. I want to give people an opportunity to bond and have fun and then remember those precious moments forever through beautiful images.
