Welcome to Yanka Photography
I'm Ritta! For me, photography has always been about freezing the little pieces of life as they happen — the real, the funny, the chaotic, and everything in between. I’m not here to turn your life into a magazine cover; I’m here to document the life that makes it yours.
I’m all about making sure you feel good and look good. During your session, I’ll guide you every step of the way — from easy posing tips to little tricks I’ve learned over the years to get genuine smiles (even from the most stubborn toddlers). My goal is to take all the stress out of the experience so it actually feels fun, not forced. I’ve had plenty of dads show up dreading the session — either from negative past photography experiences or just the fear of a typical kid meltdown — and by the end, they’re saying, “Wow, that was actually fun. I’d do that again. Thank you.”
That’s exactly the kind of experience I want for you too.
This video will give you a glimpse into how I work, a little bit about me, and why this business even exists in the first place.
It’s all thanks to my mom, Yana, who built Yanka Photography from the ground up. She passed away in 2023, but her legacy continues — and the name remains in her honor.
