Meet the Photographer

 

Hi, My name is Yoana Vasileva

 

I live on the Main Line of Philadelphia, in beautiful Wayne, PA, with my husband Stoyan, our son Micah, and adorable labradoodle Sharo.


My passion for photography started a long time ago and I don't remember a time when I have not been behind the camera. Getting started professionally was a natural transition that allowed me to start sharing the magical side of life I saw through my lens with many others. Capturing portraits that reflect your unique personality in a rich, lush, dreamy environment is at the core of why I chose this life path. My artistic style combines realism with painterly touches, achieved through careful hand editing of every single image. I enjoy connecting and working with all my clients at a personal level, which makes the photoshoot easy and light. I love working with young children and capturing the precious little smiles and genuine fleeting moments. I strongly believe that movement and emotional connection are the foundation of the most beautiful and meaningful portraits.

We have worked with Yoana Vasileva Photography on multiple occasions and we are always extremely pleased! She made our family photo shoot process feel fun and low-key so that we could actually relax, resulting in pictures that genuinely feel like us. She also photographed a surprise party for us, capturing both candid shots and posed stills so beautifully. She is the best, and we'll absolutely be working with her again!

We had the most wonderful fall photography session with our kids! From start to finish, the experience was relaxed, fun, and incredibly well-organized. Yoana was amazing with the children - patient, engaging, and able to capture genuine smiles and candid moments that truly reflect their personalities. The fall setting was beautiful, and the final photos exceeded our expectations: warm, natural, and full of emotion. These are the kind of images we’ll treasure for years to come. Highly recommend Yoana to any family looking for timeless, heartfelt photos!

As someone who is naturally camera-shy, I was nervous going into the shoot—but she immediately put me at ease and made me feel confident and beautiful. She was incredibly patient, supportive, and skilled at directing and coaching me, which resulted in dynamic, natural shots that truly captured me at my best.

What really set her apart was how attentively she listened. She took the time to understand my insecurities and personal style, and thoughtfully guided me into poses that flattered my form and highlighted my best attributes while still feeling authentic to who I am. Her awareness of the surroundings, combined with a strong understanding of lighting and composition, was evident throughout the entire shoot.
