Meet Yulia
Hello! My name is Yulia Timofeeva, and I'm a professional photographer based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I specialize in family, portrait, and wedding destination photography.
I’m inspired by the beauty of nature and the uniqueness of every individual. My goal is to capture your beauty and the stunning surroundings through my lens. My photos are simple and stylish, featuring natural light, authentic colors, and genuine emotions.
As a mom of two girls, I understand the importance of portraying your family as you truly are—the heartfelt connections, the adorable candid moments, and the laughter of your little ones. These are the moments you'll treasure for a lifetime.
I know that organizing a photo shoot can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I’m here to support you every step of the way. My aim is to make the process smooth and enjoyable, ensuring it's as easy and stress-free as possible.
Take a look at my portfolio, and let me be your next photographer!
Additional Information
-
I offer individual photo sessions, family sessions, couple and maternity shoots.
I also photograph births, hospital discharge moments, Lifestyle Newborn (photoshoots within the baby’s first month), baby's first-year milestones, and children's parties.
Additionally, I offer business photography (LinkedIn-style portraits, social media content, and Reels shooting). -
Photoshoots usually take place early in the morning after sunrise — don’t worry about losing precious time in beautiful Rio, you’ll still have the whole day ahead of you!
Depending on your chosen location and the time of year, it's also possible to shoot in the afternoon — I know the best lighting and timing for each spot.
The session will be relaxed and enjoyable — even men who don’t usually like taking pictures end up having a great time!
We’ll choose the location together, and I’ll help you pick the right outfit.
You’ll get beautiful portraits with stunning Rio backdrops, as well as lively and emotional candid moments. -
I always show you the photos during the shoot so you feel confident that everything is going the way you imagined.
And if you don’t have any expectations and it’s your first time doing a photoshoot — just trust me! You’ll love it and want more.
I promise you'll leave Rio with amazing memories. -
After the photoshoot, I’ll send you a small preview so you can select your favorite photos.

If you’d like, I can also record some behind-the-scenes video on your phone as a keepsake.
-
Delivery time for final photos is up to 1 month, via a Dropbox download link.
If you need your photos faster, express editing within 5 days is available for an additional 25% fee. -
Payment is accepted in Brazilian reais.
I also accept USD, EUR, PayPal, or wire transfer in Russian rubles to a Russian bank account. -
Wedding photoshoots are charged at the same rates listed above — so if you’re newlyweds, don’t forget to bring your wedding attire!

☀️ Important tip: Please don’t get sunburned before your session!
Rio’s sun is very strong, even on cloudy days. Use sunscreen — no one wants red, sunburnt faces in their photos.
