Dear friends, glad to meet you!

     My name is Irene Yakimova, and I am a portrait and landscape photographer based in Germany.

My love for photography began in childhood, watching my grandfather develop photos in the bathroom - he was also passionate about photography. Since then, it’s become an inseparable part of my life. So, if you see a girl with a camera slung over her shoulder, it’s probably me, heading out to capture my next shot.

     In 2018, I graduated from the Photography Academy in Moscow, and since then, I’ve been doing what I love most - capturing people, their emotions, and their stories. For me, portrait photography is more than just an image - it’s a unique moment in time, a story of a person or a family, frozen in a moment that will never be repeated.

     During shoots, I create an atmosphere of trust and ease, allowing you to feel natural and comfortable. Even if posing is not your favourite, I will guide you through the process, capturing the most beautiful moments.

     I’m always open to new ideas, ready for creative experiments, and excited to bring bold and unconventional concepts to life.

     Since 2019, I have lived and worked in Heidelberg, and I am delighted to offer my services across Europe.

     I am also a wife and mother of two beautiful boys.
