After having to take a year off due to my son’s health and my own health, I AM BACK and am feeling inspired to continue my passion with photography. Whether it is photographing my own kids, the beauty within nature, or getting back to working with families, I am grateful to have my camera back in my hands and sharing my work with the world again.

I became connected to the art of photography in high school when I was going through changes in my life. Spasmodic Dysphonia took over my voice and I had to find another outlet to express myself. My brother taught me the basics of photography and ever since I became more aware of my surroundings. I was eager to capture EVERYTHING through the lens of my camera.

As a mother of two AMAZING kids, Daniela who is 4 and Nico who is 2, it is sometimes hard to find time to keep the inspiration going…but I am hopeful ;)

With love and gratitude,

Olga

Today is just another hot summery day….but it totally feels like Christmas in the studio because…There's a new toy that came in the mail! Meet the new and beautiful, Fujifilm FinePix X100! She is a beauty…I could stare at her all day.

Photography has always been a huge part of my life and my family's life. My grandfather always took so many photos and video of his 8 sons and daughters growing up. I recently got the chance to transfer all of the beautiful film and negatives into digital files and DVDs. I spend endless hours looking through all of the footage of my dad, uncles and my aunts growing up. I am so grateful that he documented their lives…a treasure that I will always cherish and pass on to my kids one day. One of the cameras he had was this gorgeous Leica film camera that got passed down to my father and now to me. It lays on one of my shelves in my house as a beautiful decoration, but I always love looking at it and thinking about mi Abuelo.

When I came across the Fujifilm FinePix X100 a few weeks ago at a lecture, I couldn't help but think of my grandfather's camera. It has the beautiful vintage feel that my grandfather's camera has and takes amazing digital photos. When I travel, I never leave my house without my big, chunky Nikon gear; however, now I can pack a few pounds less and not have neck pains when I go on my next family vacation! I am so excited to play with this new toy and share some images with you all! Stay tuned!
