Hi, I'm Valeriia
Dogs have been at the heart of my photography journey since 2012, and in 2024 I expanded my work into professional dog show videography.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of photographing hundreds of dogs, meeting passionate owners, handlers, and breeders, and capturing unforgettable moments both inside and outside the show ring.
Beyond photography, I'm also a Rhodesian Ridgeback owner, breeder, and handler. Being deeply involved in breeding, raising puppies, training, and exhibiting dogs has given me invaluable insight into breed standards, structure, movement, expression, and presentation.
This experience allows me to see every dog through both a photographer's and a breeder's eye. Whether I'm photographing a promising puppy, presenting a stud dog, documenting a champion's achievements, or creating timeless family portraits, my goal is always to highlight each dog's unique qualities and tell their story in the most authentic and beautiful way.
For me, photography is about much more than creating beautiful images - it's about preserving emotions, celebrating achievements, and creating memories that will be treasured for generations.
I am also a proud member of the World Dog Press Association (WDPA), an international community of professional dog photographers and journalists dedicated to promoting excellence in canine media.

“Valeria is an incredible professional. On top of that, she is incredibly patient with the dogs and has a great touch with them. She is a dog owner herself. As a successful Rhodesian Ridgeback breeder, she really has an eye for dogs and knows exactly how to capture the best photos and videos. She is truly part of this world - and not just involved, but competing at a winning level.
Because of this, she is without a doubt the photographer we choose to hire for every single event we attend. It is also worth mentioning that we have more than 65 World and European Champions ourselves, so we know a thing or two about dogs. In our humble opinion, we believe Valeria absolutely needs to be at your event if you want it to be a truly world-class occasion.”
Ivett Szopkó
professional handler 🇭🇺
“She is super talented and dedicated photographer and videographer. Every time when we take photos she is very patient and kind. If she doesnt like the photo which she took even if i say it is okey she does it again because she wants to be satisfied what she have done. Photos and videos are just perfect until the smallest details. She is working with every single piece a lot. If you would like to go somewhere where you would like to take photos or videos about your dog she is always ready for a new adventure.”

“Working with this photographer was an amazing experience! She has a unique talent for seeing the perfect angle and capturing moments that others would never notice. Every image tells a story and reflects genuine emotion. Her professionalism is outstanding. At the World Championship, she delivered beautifully edited photos within just 30 minutes after my ring performance. I was amazed by both the speed and the incredible quality. She is talented, dedicated, and truly passionate about her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who consistently exceeds expectations!”
