She brings a magical artistry to her work & captures the sweet innocence of the newborn in each silhouette.

Mascha has been the resident photographer/catalog designer for boutique brands Haute Baby & Frilly Frocks since their inception. Her work has been featured in numerous catalogs, magazines & books.

Mascha believes in getting to know her clients before they book a session. She strives for a “good fit” since she’s creating a special memory of a special moment in their lives . And of course everyone has questions to pose. The first question she’s always asked is “Why the name Barberries?” It was a childhood nickname from her friends. Mascha was very familiar with these colorful shrubs when growing up—and her friends called her “barberries” since it sounded like her Russian last name. And the name stuck!

As family members become more at ease then the concerns start pouring out. “I freeze in front of the camera! I’m afraid my baby will cry the whole time. We don’t know what theme we want for the cake smash.” Well, these reasons are exactly why you need Mascha! In our busy world today the photos that you intended to take will end up as just that - good intentions that time takes away. Let Mascha preserve your memories & create art work that will be cherished for generations. And rest assured that she will handle every little detail of the experience!
