HEY THERE!!
—
thank you SO much for being here!!
my name is Snezhana Pakhnyuk, I am the owner of “Snezhana’s Photography LLC”
I am a full time mom & wedding + elopement photographer based in Oregon, but also go beyond that.

I was born and raised in Oregon, my family/friends are all from here and I got married here, so Oregon holds a special place in my heart.
I am that person that you see at a coffee shop taking photos of the same cup of coffee in different angles/corners and of the coffee shop itself. almost anywhere I go, I am always taking photos, whether it's on my phone or my camera.
so cliché, but photography has always been something I loved doing since I was young. I got my very first camera when I was about 13. ever since then, I always took photos and upgraded all of my equipment throughout the years.
God & my family are my number one priority. although photography could get a bit overwhelming and busy, I always try to make time for each of those. ever since becoming a mom, majority of my time has been taking care of my daughter while also trying to get some work done in between.
being a photographer feels like your work never ends, especially during busy seasons. we always have something to edit, if not that, we are working to update our website, learning new things from other photographers, communicating with clients & etc. so it’s always important to get a day off from work to spend time with family.
going on spontaneous trips, traveling, exploring new places is what I really love doing. I am ALWAYS up for a new adventure. I can’t sit in one spot, I love going out and doing things even if it means to just go hang out at a coffee shop. I find meeting new people to be very exciting and find it to be the best part of my job. I especially enjoy working with couples and capturing the pure, intimate moments of love, joy, and happiness. simply put, I LOVE what I do and I am so thankful to God for giving me this amazing opportunity!

I married my best friend. we both speak english, russian and sarcasm. we can rarely ever take each other serious. our relationship is filled with so much love, joy and laughter. he is the one that constantly supports me in everything I do. we both love the nature, we love going on hikes together or even just going on a walk around the neighborhood.

I went through all of the wedding planning and the whole process myself so I know it could get a bit overwhelming & stressful. I always try to make sure your experience with me is stress free and easygoing.
for me personally, I really enjoyed the whole wedding planning process! sure, it was a bit stressful and overwhelming at times but I enjoyed putting things together and creating my own dream wedding.
that's another reason why I love being apart of the wedding industry. I love helping others plan out their wedding or even simply to just capture all of the big and small moments on their special day.

photography is not just a passion for me, but something I am very committed to, and take great pride in. I only provide high quality, edited photos and guaranteed customer satisfaction.
I'm always looking forward to meeting new people and hope to capture memories that will last a lifetime. you will find that my expertise goes beyond just portrait shoots, I excel in engagement, maternity, wedding and elopement sessions.
whether you're looking for more of a city vibe, or a shoot out in the nature, I do it all. I'm willing to travel more in the upcoming year so if you are wanting to elope or have a wedding in the most beautiful place, I would LOVE to capture those big moments. but above anything else, let my work speak for itself. I hope that together we can make your next session be a memorable one.
