The One Behind the Camera
My name is Aleksandra and I am a photographer based in Toronto.
I was born in former Yugoslavia and moved to Toronto when I was 10 years old. My passion for visual storytelling began at 13 when an interest in capturing portraits of friends and family blossomed into a passion for documenting all of life’s adventures.
I specialize in intimate weddings, portrait and lifestyle photography. When it comes to weddings, I have a semi-documentary approach. This means I'll capture the day as it happens organically, with minimal interruption, so that you can be present and enjoy day. During portrait sessions, I'll provide gentle direction to ensure a natural look and feel, avoiding overly posed shots. So, if you’re planning an elopement or wedding, please reach out — I’d love to photograph your special day!
My approach to portraiture ranges from lifestyle to traditional. I care deeply about getting to know my subjects and making them feel comfortable in front of the camera, whether it’s a casual outdoor shoot or indoors in a classic studio setting. My intention is to make each person look and feel beautiful no matter what stage in their life! Additionally, one of my passions is empowering women through photography, fostering self-love and confidence as they see themselves in a new light.
If you’re looking to capture a special life event or simply want to create memories with your loved ones, please reach out. I would love to photograph you! My portrait photography includes: maternity, motherhood, newborn, engagements, couples, family, personal branding and solo portraits.
Besides documenting all of life’s adventures, I am also a certified meditation teacher and co-founder of Love Yourself Yoga and Wellness Retreats. I also LOVE coffee, travelling and the outdoors.
A few of my favourite things are:
The feeling you get when you hear a song that reminds you of a place, person or a time in your life
Drinking coffee and people watching
The sound of birds on a summer morning
The feeling of exploring a new city, country or place
The taste of chocolate
Just a few more…
Watching the sunset…anywhere
Sunbathing on the beach and listening to reggae music
My daily meditation practice
Road trips
Being by the sea or ocean
So where am I heading to next?
You’ll likely to spot me and my camera on a faraway beach, an epic mountain hike, in the middle of a salsa dance floor, or wherever my explorations lead!
Or better yet…I’d love to tag along with you, wherever you’re going, to document your special day or adventure.
Three words that best describe me:
Adventurous, Curious, Passionate
