PHOTOGRAPHY IN ROCKLIN, CALIFORNIA BY ANASTASIA SHATALIN
Hello, I'm Anastasia. My main mission in this world is to make it a bit more beautiful, and right now, I'm doing it through photography.
As a lifelong perfectionist at my core, I'm obsessed with creating harmonious, balanced, meaningful, and timeless images for families.
I started my business in 2017, and over the years, I’ve held over 1,000 newborn sessions and more than 1,000 family, maternity, and baby photoshoots combined.
After seeing me in action, clients are usually amazed by my endless patience with babies, calm energy, and ability to seamlessly navigate difficult situations.
Many of my clients keep returning year after year, and so many families have trusted me to capture newborn sessions for two, three, or even four of their children.
I hold a Master’s degree in Agricultural Sciences. Before moving to the States, I worked in urban landscaping, creating floral designs and landscaping concepts, bringing them to life, directing the teams implementing them, and overseeing plant care across a city of over 100,000 residents in a suburb of Moscow.
Life took an exciting turn when I unexpectedly won the Green Card lottery, leading me to take a chance, move to the United States in 2013, and begin a whole new chapter.
I've been obsessed with photography my entire life, but back then it was just a hobby. After moving to the States and having my daughter, I started taking photography classes, workshops, and 1-on-1 coaching, and launched my photography business in 2017.
Outside of work, I cherish time with my daughter and enjoy California’s nature, sunshine, and winter fog. I like staying active, traveling, following fashion, and taking on new challenges. Being an introvert at heart, I also enjoy spending time alone.
