“IT’S MY BAD ATTITUDE THAT KEEPS ME YOUNG.”

--NADIA VOLVOKOV

Born and raised in Alaska, I fell in love with the outdoors at an early age, along with creating art in all forms.

I started my business in high school with senior portraits and photographed my first wedding the year after I graduated high school. After that, I was hooked. I’ve spent the decade-plus since photographing life and love everywhere and any way I can.

A couple dressed in formal attire outdoors during daytime, with the woman wearing a wedding dress and the man in a green velvet tuxedo jacket. The woman has curly hair and is wearing a star-shaped headpiece and veil. They are standing close together, with the woman's hand on the man's chest, showing her wedding ring.

I married my high school sweetheart, David, in 2016. He has seen my business from day one (he was one of my original clients!) and is always helping behind the scenes and he may even lend a hand on your shoot!

Our wedding was amidst Portland’s worst storm in 50+ years. Literally, everything that could have gone wrong did. But in the end, we did the damn thing and I always want to remind my clients that is what is most important; this day is about you and your love! We can deal with whatever comes our way as long as that stays center.

My current home base is Portland, Oregon -- but love finding any excuse to travel. I have an insatiable sense of adventure, which means I’m always exploring and know all the best places to take you! Whether it's hiking a mountain at sunrise, sunset on the coast, or late nights in the desert waiting for the stars--I’m your gal.
