Behind the Lens
ABOUT ME
I'm an adventurous, positive person who values kindness and loves capturing photographs that evoke emotion.
Inspired by the love, beautiful nature and kind people in the place I call home- the Outer Banks.
I was born and raised in Poland and came to the United States in 2015 to take part in a student exchange program during college. I thought it would be a great opportunity to travel and visit places I often saw in movies. Little did I know that I would meet my husband, fall in love, and build my future here on the Outer Banks. The best things often happen unexpectedly... I am happy to call this island my home. Also, I hate cold weather so living in Poland during winter wasn't an option haha.
I bought my first camera to document my journey in the US. I had no idea that it would lead me to where I am today. I spent countless hours learning the craft of photography, lighting, posing, editing, and I never stopped learning. Growth is my motivation, and challenges keep me going! It's very fulfilling for me to document the special moments in people's life. Positive feedback and happy couples are the biggest reward of all. My clients are amazing and I couldn't do it without them.

about ME
My husband and our love story: we met during my summer trip to the Outer Banks. We continued a long distance relationship while I was in Poland completing my Bachelor's degree. A lot of skyping, texting, flying back and forth for almost a year. He proposed on our trip to London, and shortly after we got married. We've been together ever since and I can't imagine my life without him.

Maya, our pet Doberman. She's such a sweetheart. Her favorite thing is to snuggle on the couch at all times.

Traveling to places where people speak different languages, eat different food, have different experiences - it broadens your own perspective of the world and that's why I love it.
Some of my favorite destinations are: Kauai, St John, Yosemite, Zion, Lisbon.

Wine. White wine. Red wine. Usually accompanied by too much cheese! And I could eat tacos every day - but who doesn't like them?

I love living on the Outer Banks. It's a peaceful, gorgeous place where you can reconnect with the nature. It has so much to offer! Beach, dunes, woods, lighthouses, gardens - a real gem for photographers!

Documenting people's special moments - weddings, engagement, motherhood, kids' milestones- brings me so much joy. I so feel fortunate to be able to say 'I love my job.'
