I Create Costumes For My Children And Photograph Them In Magical Scenarios
As a teenager or even young adult I woudn’t dare to call myself “creative”. It all changed when I got my first DSLR. Then my son, Jacob, was born. I discovered Pinterest, gave birth to my second child – Barbara, learned to sew… All these episodes have made me who I am now.
I’ve been photographing my kids since they were born. I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos. But it was about a year ago when I started looking for something more unique. Being inspired by amazing photographers from all over the world I was trying to find my own way to capture my children’s childhood. And I still am.
I create costumes by myself. Mostly, every single piece of the outfit for a photo session is made by me (except for the shoes) I generally use the cheapest available fabric I can get. I also try to choose a location for the photo shoots near my home (usually within 20 km).
A photo session lasts no longer than 10 to 15 minutes (when it comes to my daughter, aged 3, 5-6 minutes MUST be sufficient). I never pose my kids. It is a story or a tale told during the session that makes them react naturally.
I am not a professional photographer. By profession I am a teacher in a secondary school in Poland. Photography turned out to be my hobby, so as sewing. Both of them give me a huge amount of energy. My head is full of ideas for next pictures. If only a day was longer…

Great photos and so much fun! Especially love the witch. Her expression says it all :-)
Urocze dzieciaki :) Zdjęcia piękne, a kostiumy - cudo! Wszystkie zdjęcia szalenie mi się podobają, ale wróżka jest po prostu magiczna, czarownica z miotłą ma fantastyczną minę, a Harry Potter wygląda lepiej niż w filmie :) Oczyma wyobraźni widzę Pani maluchy na jednym zdjęciu - córeczkę w roli pięknej królewny, a synka jako strzegącego jej rycerza :) Zazdroszczę świetnego pomysłu, i talentu pozwalającego go zrealizować. Dzięki Pani pomysłowości macie na pewno sporo zabawy w trakcie realizacji, masę śmiechu przy przeglądaniu zdjęć, a na przyszłość wspaniałe pamiątki. Założę się, że koleżanki i koledzy zazdroszczą modelom takiej mamy :)
Beautifully organised images with superb lighting - but it is worth waiting until the connection with the child is alive - some here show a somewhat alienated expression.
I love everything! Except the Viking costume having horns. None of us Vikings had horns!
Beauitful photos and the children are adorable everything about your pics are beauitful.
