About this Nominee
Meet Zhanna Velichko, a lifestyle/storytelling family photographer known for her warm, natural style and ability to capture connection in its most genuine form. Her work is filled with movement, emotion, and light — telling stories that feel effortless and true to life.
Zhanna has photographed families in the quiet charm of upstate New York, the wide-open spaces of Texas, and now calls Benicia and the Bay Area home, where she’s been serving local families for the past eight years. Her sessions are less about posing and more about presence — creating space for people to simply be themselves, beautifully.
