About Daria K. Photography – Your Atlanta Photographer
I didn’t choose photography—grief did.
i survived by taking pictures…
Back in Russia, my grandmother bought the cheapest camera she could find to take photos of me. But while she pointed it at me, I kept turning it around—photographing the world instead. Landscapes. My cat. Strangers. Life.
She passed when I was 14. At 16, I moved to the U.S. with my dad.
Then he passed too. I was 26. And just like that, the last piece of “home” vanished.
Photography saved me. It gave me purpose when everything else felt empty.
I bought my first professional camera with the small inheritance I was left—and that same month, I brought home my dog, Luchik.
Both have been with me through everything.
And now, this passion? It’s my career. My calling. My way of helping others hold onto what matters.
Behind The Scenes
based wherever you want me to be.
As an Atlanta photographer, I capture real moments—messy, bold, vulnerable, wild.
Whether I’m documenting love stories, milestones, or intimate portraits, I lead with emotion, artistry, and intention. I’m not here to pose you—I’m here to see you.
With a background in creative directing, styling, event planning, and floral design, I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up to build an experience.
I'm based in Atlanta, but I’ll travel wherever your heart leads—no extra travel fees (for some of my packages), just pure dedication to your vision.
If something about my work or my story speaks to you… don’t wait.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
a few of my favourite things.
Besides photography ;)
