About Ivan
I’m Ivan, a documentary family photographer, husband and father based in Tallinn. For more than eight years, I’ve photographed families as they really are: moving, laughing, resting and finding their way through the beautiful chaos of everyday life. You don’t need to perform for the camera, and your children don’t need to behave perfectly. My job is to help everyone feel comfortable and preserve the connection that is already there.
How it works
A simple, relaxed process from first message to final gallery.
Tell me about your family
Share who is coming, what matters to you and any dates you have in mind. I’ll help with the location, timing and simple preparation.
Spend time together
No stiff posing and no need for perfect behaviour. We walk, talk, play or stay at home while I quietly photograph what unfolds.
Receive your story
Within two weeks, you receive a private online gallery with a complete, carefully edited story of your time together.
Kind words
Real families, real experiences, and no pressure to perform.

“We can just have a walk, everyone in their own element, and Ivan captures real emotions.”
Klaudi K.
“From the first moment, Ivan was warm and approachable. Even our shy child and our dog felt comfortable. The pictures captured our family beautifully.”
Maris
“Ivan creates such a chill, non-demanding vibe. He records everyday life and, as a result, you can see that your life is magical.”
