Hi! I’m Mariia Leningradskaia, a professional photographer based in Illinois. I specialize in capturing heartfelt, genuine moments that tell your story.

For the past 7 years, families, couples, women, and men have trusted me to preserve the most meaningful milestones in their lives—whether it’s a special event, a personal photo session, or a professional portfolio for business.

As a mom of two daughters, I truly understand the value of family memories. I love working with children, creating natural, lively portraits that reflect their true spirit. I also have a deep love for animals and believe that every living being deserves care and attention—this passion comes through in every pet session I photograph.

In addition to photo sessions, I enjoy sharing my knowledge through photography lessons. Helping others explore their creativity and grow their skills is incredibly inspiring to me—it’s a joy to watch people discover their passion for photography.

I’m based in Chicago and work throughout the state of Illinois, and I’m always happy to travel to other states for photo shoots.

Let’s create something truly unforgettable together!
Reach out to book your session and preserve the most precious moments of your life.
