As a family photographer from Ustka, Monika Lesner creates natural, light-filled sessions: family, newborn, children, communion and birthday shoots — with care and calm.
My name is Monika and I focus on family photography — it is my passion and specialty. Based by the Baltic Sea in Ustka, I draw inspiration from coastal light, cozy home interiors and the small, everyday gestures that define family life. I favour natural moments, while also shaping light when necessary — softening highlights or introducing subtle illumination to create timeless, emotive images. I specialise in family sessions: newborn and baby shoots, children's portraits, baptism and communion photography, birthday sessions and family outdoor portraits. Each session is personalised — we begin with a conversation about your expectations and meaningful locations (beach, forest, home, palace or lakeside). I work mainly across Pomerania and West Pomerania — Ustka, Jarosławiec, Rowy and nearby lakes are regular places of work, though I’m happy to travel to your preferred location. My approach is calm and friendly: I guide with gentle direction, suggest poses when needed, but mostly I wait for authentic moments — a child’s laugh, a tender look between parents, everyday rituals. For newborns and very young children I prioritise safety and comfort; in family sessions I aim for lightness and honesty so the images feel unstaged and true to you. Why choose my family sessions? I place emotion and light at the centre of my work — photos that become cherished keepsakes. I combine photographic experience with sensitivity and a relaxed manner so even camera-shy little ones feel at ease. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Ustka who understands the Pomeranian atmosphere and can capture your family in beautiful, natural light, get in touch — I’d love to talk about your session.
