About me. Family photographer Akulova Natalia in Shanghai, China

Hi, I’m Natalia.

I’ve been holding a camera with love for many years, but family photography has always been closest to my heart.

It all started with old photographs from our family archive — pictures of my grandparents, my parents, and myself as a child. These images are still incredibly valuable to me.

Over time, my love for photography only grew stronger. Now I photograph my own family — my sons, parents, and loved ones. Especially after photography opened up to me from a new, professional perspective.

I continue to learn, see familiar things from new angles, and explore light and color. For me, photography is an entire universe and a world of creativity.

I believe you didn’t come here by chance.

It probably means that photography is important to you too — and you want to preserve the moments of your life: your beauty, your children, your family.

My goal is to create photographs that show you and your family as you truly are — laughing, hugging, sharing real moments together.

Whether at home in a cozy atmosphere or walking through the streets of Shanghai, you will have photographs that will become part of your family story.
