Viktoria is the owner and lady behind the camera at Mama Bear Portraits. She is a Pregnancy, Newborn and Family Photographer based in Rush, Co. Dublin. She has very kindly given us an insight into her passion, motivation and variety of work she does ….
“My photography is a journey of self-discovery and self-expression; it’s a process through which I choose to explore people and their feelings, emotions and unique identities.
Originally I started taking photographs of my loved ones and close friends with my grandfather’s old Zenit film camera at the age of 15 and quickly developed that desire to capture all the beautiful moments I experienced through my lens. I got my first digital SLR at the age of 18 and mastered my skills with years of practice in portrait, fashion and children photography.

In 2013 I completed my BA (Hons) Degree in Photography (Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology) and Nikon UK sponsored my final graduation exhibition. I have been working in technical support as a coacher and trainer for one of the leading manufacturers of high-end DSLRs for over 10 years. I also often work with numerous Irish baby brands and boutiques and photograph their products and create content for their social media (Clevamama, Senger, Sue&Samuel, Poet&Deer, Lil&Izzy and many more).
I love photographing the beauty of natural light. Lifestyle photography is about your story, your life and your moments and memories. I have a beautiful lifestyle studio space at my home (Rush, co.Dublin) and I also love working outdoors in spring and summer!”
