Golden hour portrait in a field of tall wheat grass.

Kind words

Ritta is such a pleasure to work with. We’ve done family photos every year since our kids were little and as they’ve grown, trying to get teenagers to smile can be a challenge!

Ritta’s personality is so warm and friendly. Her giggling with the kids is the best, and makes the whole experience delightful!

Kind words

"I’ve worked with Ritta before,

and every session is so much fun.

She has a great energy to her

and really thinks about every shot.

We love the photos, the kids enjoy

working with Ritta, and we now

have the best lifelong memories to treasure; including magical pictures for our Christmas card this year.

Thank you, Ritta!"

Photography has been part of my life from the very start, thanks to my incredible mom, Yana, who founded Yanka Photography. I’m proud to carry her name and legacy forward, capturing real & meaningful moments for clients in Austin and Northern Virginia!

Photography is all I’ve ever known, and I’m excited to help you capture memories you’ll treasure forever.
