Hey there!
I’m Marina Simanava, a portrait and graduation photographer based in Miami, Florida.
But you already know it, right? That’s what my logo says.
So let me better tell you something new.
10 years ago I was a journalist. Made my bachelor’s in Minsk, Belarus. I was telling stories and helping people to be informed. Texts can be very powerful, but sometimes it’s better just to show what are you talking about. And I started to show. Emotions, movement, life in all colours.
One day I realized that I’m not writing anymore. I’m talking with my readers through pictures.
And here I am 7 years and 2 continents after! Helping you to tell stories of YOUR life. Capturing moments to remember. Showing your new, unseen before side (don’t hide it, it’s beautiful).
So tell me, what brings you here today?
Marina is wonderful to work with
Christina Sarubbi
We drove in from palm beach county to meet her in Miami and it was 100% worth it! Her talent is incredible. We brought 2 big dogs that were very much apart of the photo shoot and she captured us all! We love every photo. I’m also 20 weeks pregnant so we got to capture the growth of our family this holiday season. Thank you so much Marina, you are so kind and very talented❤️
She assists with the PERFECT poses!
PennShelia & Stephon Brooker
Amazing is an understatement … she made us feel SOOO comfortable! She carried our things, capture every detail there was, and ensured that we got every photo we envisioned! We literally had no posing skills. but with her, you don’t need them! She’s assists with the PERFECT poses! She’s phenomenal!
Stunning work!

Marina was so patient and wonderful. She really helped me make my vision come to life. Her editing was exactly what I requested bright and airy, the pictures turned out precisely how I wanted them. I’m thrilled with the final product, and can’t wait to share the pics on social!
Grateful for your time and professionalism Marina :)
She is an artist

Marina is more than a photographer, she is an artist. You can tell she is dedicated to what she is doing from before you meet for the shoot. She plans out the details and is also very adaptable when circumstances change. I have no criticism and am looking forward to working with her again.
