MY STORY

hello,

I'M MEGIJA!

Photographer, storyteller and the person behind Leimia Photography.

For me, photography has never been only about taking a beautiful picture. It's about the feeling you had when you look at it years later —

The way he looked at you.
The way you laughed together.
The nervous excitement before saying "I do".
The wind in your hair.
Your children running towards you.
The little moments nobody else noticed.

"I photograph people who want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked."

My style is romantic, soft and timeless, with a touch of cinematic European elegance. I love natural light, beautiful locations, genuine emotions and photographs that don't feel overly posed.

And don't worry if you're thinking — "But we are terrible at taking photos."

That's exactly why I'm here. I'll guide you through posing, movement, locations and little prompts so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands or where to look. My only goal is for you to forget about the camera and simply enjoy each other.

Whether we're walking through the streets of Riga, watching the sunset by the Baltic Sea, celebrating your wedding or travelling somewhere completely new — I'll be there to turn those moments into photographs you'll keep forever.

Welcome to Leimia Photography.
I'm so happy you're here. 🤍

MY APPROACH

EVERY STORY DESERVES TO BE BEAUTIFUL

Behind the Lens with Megija

My approach is always personal and collaborative. I don't believe you need to know how to pose, or even feel comfortable in front of a camera, to create beautiful photographs.

Most of my clients tell me they feel a little awkward being photographed. And that's okay. You don't need to know where to stand, what to do with your hands, or how to look natural. That's where I come in.

I'll guide you through movement, gentle prompts and small moments of interaction — creating space for you to relax, connect and simply be together. We'll walk, talk, laugh, dance, hold each other, and sometimes just pause.

Because I believe the most beautiful photographs often happen in between the posed ones. When you forget about the camera. When you laugh at something only the two of you understand. When a simple touch or glance says more than any carefully arranged pose ever could.

My role is not to make you perform for the camera. It is to create an environment where you can be yourselves, and to recognise those fleeting moments when something real happens.

The result is photographs that feel natural and timeless — images that don't just show how you looked, but preserve something of how it felt to be there, together.
