Hi, I’m Gala

For 13 years I worked in sales - learning how to connect with people, understand what they truly wanted, and build trust. I realized people don’t just want a product; they want to feel something and feel confident in their choice.

But inside me, a passion for creativity was growing louder, harder to ignore. So I started searching for myself. Studying psychology opened up a whole new world, and the moment I picked up a camera, there was no turning back. That’s how, in 2019, I became a photographer.

It started with photography, then video - but I wasn’t just learning to work with a camera and light. I learned to see the essence of people, feel their story, and capture it in a single frame. Visual storytelling became the language I use to speak with people - a way to show their uniqueness.

Today, I capture the moments that matter most: weddings, love stories, couples, individual portraits, and brands. Whether it’s two people saying “I do,” a quiet portrait that captures who you really are, or a business that needs to show its true face - I bring the same care to every story. I take on the whole process, from the first idea to the final result, so it doesn’t just look beautiful - it feels real.

I know how to show you, your love, or your business in a way that makes people not just look - but feel.

When was the last time you had photos taken just for you?
Not for a special occasion. Not because you had to.
Simply because you love who you are right now.

As the years go by, you realize that happiness isn’t about finding a perfect person. It’s about finding someone you can truly be yourself with. by @gala_novach

Wedding 💍

I want to post all the photos, it’s a pity that you can only post 10☺️

Це був дуже спекотний день, сонце палило вже о 10 ранку так, що дихати було важко😁. Тіні у всіх на лицях, спека, хекаєш з тією камерою… але все вдалося .
Після зйомки я сиділа і думала про весільних фотографів – це дуже важка праця. Але воно того варте☺️бо створення сімʼї та пережиті на зйомці емоції, залишаються приємними спогадами☺️
Дякую @mariia_mehra що довірилась мені. Wedding taken in San Diego, California by @gala_novach

This photo shoot was filled with so many feelings and emotions. Endless smiles of happiness, tender touches, and sweet sounds of a sleeping baby - all this creates an indescribable atmosphere, which we tried to preserve in every shot.

Understanding the extent of how important and valuable these moments are for each family, gives me a foundation for creativity, making each session unique.

What I like most is noticing the little things: tiny hands and feet, chubby cheeks, gentle breath... It's necessary to capture these, as days fly by so quickly!

A huge thank you to the parents for sharing these unique moments with me, bigger thank you for trusting me to capture the magic of this new life.♥️ taken in Orange County, California by @gala_novach

Photography is a way to capture moments that quickly slip away from our memory. It’s important to take photos at every stage of life because each period leaves its mark and has its own value. Photos help us see how we change, how we develop, and preserve important moments for future generations. Each photograph is a piece of our life’s story that we can pass on.

Thank you for trusting me.❤️ Maternity photoshoot taken in Orange County, California by @gala_novach
