Get to know the photographer

Family, kids, animals, couples, food photography & so much more...

I picked up a camera before I can remember and never put it down. Photography has always been part of my world. Having a family of my own has changed the way I see photography. Being welcomed into other families’ lives, watching the chaos, the laughter, and the quiet in-between moments unfold feels familiar and meaningful. It’s real, it’s fun, and it’s exactly what I love to photograph!

There’s something about a photograph that nothing else can replace. A photo is the only thing that has the power to transport us back to that exact moment & relive it, years later.

Motherhood

I’m a mom to my sweet son, Oskar, who will be two in April, and I absolutely love being his mom. Motherhood can be challenging, but it’s endlessly rewarding, and it has given me a whole new perspective on life. My husband, Sebastian has shown me what true love looks like. He supports my vision, my work, and my dreams, and having a partner like him makes all the difference.

Photography

Watching my mom nurture her family and build Yanka Photography, and now being a mom myself, has taught me how intentional connection shapes every photograph I take. People sometimes think I just have a magical camera, but for me, photography is about creating real, meaningful experiences with the people I work with. It’s about capturing moments that are felt as much as they’re seen.
