Hello, I’m Yana
Family, maternity & newborn photographer in Newcastle upon Tyne
Before photography became my profession, it was already part of my life. I was always drawn to the quiet moments — the everyday terdeness, the love that often goes unnoticed.
Like many mothers, I spent years behind the camera, preserving memories while rarely stepping into the frame myself.
That perspective shapes everything I do. I photograph families with sensitivity and calm, creating space for mothers to be present, seen, and remembered — not just as they care for others, but as they are.
Photography for life’s most meaningful seasons.
Newborn Photography
Quiet, unhurried newborn sessions focused on connection, comfort, and the smallest details of your baby’s earliest days.
Photographed gently, at home or beautiful natural surroundings, with parents fully supported throughout.
Maternity Photography
A calm, natural approach to maternity photography — celebrating the quiet strength, softness, and beauty of this fleeting chapter.
No pressure, no stiff posing — just space to be present.
Family Photography
Relaxed family sessions that capture real connection, movement, and everyday love — whether at home or outdoors.
Moments that feel honest, warm, and timeless — the way you’ll want to remember them.

Sarah Davies
Newborn in-home session — North East
We absolutely loved our newborn photo session with Yana and cannot recommend her highly enough. She created such a calm, gentle atmosphere while photographing us and our daughter.
The gallery we received is beautiful — the images feel so natural, with perfect balance of softly guided moments and candid connection. Her attention to detail is exceptional. It was truly memorable morning.

We had a beautiful family session on our local beach to celebrate our son’s first birthday.
Yana was incredibly patient and made us feel completely at ease throughout. We recommend enough!!
