Featured Family Sessions in Orange County

Sunshine, sand, quiet trails—wherever your family feels most at home, that’s where I work. I’m Venya Manzyuk, an Irvine family photographer specializing in outdoor sessions across Orange County. My shoots are fast-moving and low-stress: no stiff posing, no forced smiles—just real connection, lit by California’s best natural backdrops. I photograph families who want images that reflect their real life—only better. See family session investment options to learn more, or scroll down to view recent sessions.
