Hi, I’m Nastasia!

I’ve basically been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember.

Paper fortune tellers in elementary school? Sold ’em.
Girl Scout cookies? Obviously.
A snow-cone stand? Absolutely.
Some questionable business ventures in between? Let’s just say I’ve always had ideas... haha.

I’ve always loved creating something from nothing and figuring out how to make people see the value in it. I guess it makes sense that, somewhere along the way, photography became the thing that stuck.

And maybe it started a little earlier than I realized.

The photo to the left, is me with my Babcia, my grandma, who was one of the people who first made me fall in love with photographs.

Growing up, she was always showing me old family photos. I loved hearing the stories behind them, seeing people at different ages, and realizing how a single photograph could bring an entire memory back to life.

I think that’s when I started to understand that photographs are about so much more than what’s happening in the frame. They hold stories. They preserve people, places, seasons of life, and little moments you might otherwise forget.

That feeling has stayed with me ever since.

I’ve been a photographer and creative entrepreneur for over sixteen years, and I’ve had the chance to photograph just about everything, weddings, families, concerts, events, brands, and everything in between. I loved all of it, but eventually I noticed something: my creativity really came alive when I was photographing people building something of their own.

There’s something so exciting about taking someone’s vision, personality, and big ideas and turning them into imagery that actually feels like them.

Because your brand is more than a pretty photo.

It’s the way someone feels when they land on your website. It’s the tiny details that make people remember you. It’s the confidence you feel when you finally look at your business and think, “Yep. This is exactly what I’ve been trying to say.”

That’s what I love being a part of.

But enough about work...

Let’s get a little more personal.

I’m first-generation Mexican and Polish-American, born and raised in Chicago. I’m a huge believer that where you come from and all the little pieces that make you you eventually find their way into the things you create.

I love to travel, eat good food, find beautiful spaces, and experience places that make me feel inspired. I’ve even traveled all the way to Bali, Indonesia for a branding session, so when I say I’m willing to go the extra mile for my clients... I mean it.

I’m also a Libra with a Leo rising, which probably explains at least 60% of my personality. Take that information how you will...

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me dreaming up a new business idea, planning my next adventure, obsessing over good design, or convincing myself that I definitely need to start another creative project.

At the end of the day, I’m just really passionate about people who are passionate about what they do.

Whether you’re building a business, growing a personal brand, launching something completely new, or simply ready for your brand to finally look as good as the thing you’ve been building...

I’d love to be a part of it.

Come say hi, tell me what you’re working on, and let’s make something really good together!
