Winnipeg | Manitoba

A new baby is the most

precious & amazing gift you

can receive.

Teeny tiny fingers and toes. That fresh newborn scent. The sparkle in your child’s eyes. The way your family laughs together. The happy chaos of a milestone celebration. The gentle nuzzle from your beloved pet. I love capturing all these fleeting details — the moments you wish you could hold onto forever. For over 5 years, I’ve been creating warm, natural, and timeless portraits for families across Winnipeg and Manitoba. Every session with me is unique, personal, and styled to reflect the love and connection that makes your story one of a kind.

I’m Vera 

My journey with children has been a lifelong story. Back in my home country, I worked as a pediatrician, caring for little ones and their families during the earliest and most delicate stages of life. After moving to Winnipeg, I continued this path at the Health Sciences Centre, working with children in a hospital setting. Later, I opened my own home daycare, where I was surrounded daily by laughter, curiosity, and the pure joy only children bring.

But there has always been another love in my life — photography. It runs in my family — my father and grandfather were both passionate photographers. I grew up with the smell of film, the click of a shutter, and the magic of turning fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes.

Today, photography is not just my profession — it’s my full-time calling. I specialize in newborn, kids, family, milestones, pets, and portraits, capturing authentic emotions and connections. Each session is personal, heartfelt, and crafted with the same care and dedication I’ve carried through every chapter of my life.

This isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.

 

Tell your story 

Every stage of life deserves to be remembered — from your newborn’s first days to family hugs, milestones, and the bond with your pets.
My sessions are about you — your love, your connection, your story.

I create timeless, heartfelt portraits you’ll proudly display in your home and cherish for years to come. Let’s capture the moments you never want to forget and turn them into beautiful memories that last forever.

I can’t wait to tell your story through my lens!

KIND WORDS

 

Vera is absolutely amazing! We had her photograph two of our babies as newborns. Then again on their 1 st birthdays for a cake smash. She is so patient with the babies and siblings. She makes it so non stress for the mom., She gives you time to feed your babies, calm them down and do whatever you need.y flakes of skin on her hands. Together, we will plan your own special newborn portrait session and celebrate your story.
