It all started before I even knew what shutter speed meant, but I knew it felt like home

Hey, I’m Sava! Photographer, vintage lover, and proud old soul. I was born in Mariupol, Ukraine, and immigrated to the USA when I was 8. I’ve been capturing stories since I was big enough to hold a camera, and I still get butterflies before every shoot. Whether we’re dancing through golden hour or chasing concert lights, I’m all about making you feel seen, celebrated, and like the main character you are.
