WELCOME TO YAna’s photos
The portrait studio is located in Sherman Oaks at 13715 1/2 Ventura Boulevard, north of the boulevard, and west of Woodman Avenue.
Yana has been photographing artists, musicians, families, high school seniors, grooms and brides, and business executives for over 10 years, and they have trusted the Photographer to create portraits that stand the test of time, to be cherished by future generations.
Yana received a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree from the University of North Texas in 2007, and has maintained her passion for working with families, professionals, and kids of different cultures and backgrounds. She speaks Russian fluently.
Yana’s new Sherman Oaks studio location has the capacity to utilize the sunny LA rooftop vibes added with the optional stability of studio lighting.
“I’ve worked in front of the camera professionally for over 16 years, and shooting headshots with Yana was one of the best experiences I’ve had. ”
“I first found Yana on Instagram and was immediately drawn to all of her beautiful work! It was an ABSOLUTE pleasure doing my first solo photo shoot with her!! She quickly eased my nerves and made the ENTIRE experience fun, relaxing and exciting!! ”
“Yana is an INCREDIBLE photographer, I cannot recommend her enough! We had her to photograph our family (3 kids - a toddler and 5 week old twins) and she was amazing. I was so nervous that our life is too chaotic to get nice photos, but the photos Yana captured not only elegantly depict the organized chaos of our life at that time (which are incredible memories) but also resulted in some beautiful posed family photos that we could gift to family. Yana is incredibly professional, has a beautiful attention to detail and absolutely loves what she does. Everything she delivered from the digital photo album, to the printed and framed pictures we purchased were immaculate.”
“Yana is an AMAZING photographer to work with. She has photographed three Bring Change to Mind Southern California Student summits and has captured the event so beautifully. We work with many photographers around the country, and Yana’s photos are some of our favorite. I highly recommend her!”
“Yana is an all around rockstar. We understood each other from the get go and she is so thorough and put-together that I didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day. It was really lovely to know that I had someone who understood who we were as a couple (goofy as heck) and the kind of photos I was hoping for. Yana made our day really special and low-stress, and the photos came out beautiful!! I can’t recommend her enough.” ”
““I’ll be recommending Yana to everyone I know! Our wedding photos turned out absolutely gorgeous. Not only is the final product fabulous, she was so helpful leading up to the event helping us plan photos we wanted. At the wedding, she was a calm and positive presence and an absolute pleasure to work with.””
““In planning my wedding, I was dreading the photography part because both my (then) fiance and I were not used to getting our pictures taken. Then comes Yana to save the day!! She really made the whole picture taking experience not so intimidating. She’s gifted as well— the photos came out... really really good!! Super professional too- -came on time, traveled all the way to our venue in Long Beach, stayed focused the entire time, and was good with dealing with large groups. I’m soo happy I had Yana shoot for our wedding. She’s the real deal!””
““Yana photographed my engagement shoot and wedding.I could not have asked for a more professional and talented photographer. My wedding was the most important day of my life, to date, and the photos I have to commemorate the festivities are priceless. She made everything so easy and worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted. Our wedding was perfect and Yana was a large part of that, I know that we will use ‘Yana’s Photos’ for all of our future photography needs.””
