ALL ABOUT SERAP & Volkan

We believe in creating images that remind you not just how life looked, but how it felt.

More Than Photography — It’s Legacy

I’m Serap—photographer, calm guide, and devoted storyteller. A decade ago, I left a 13-year corporate career to follow the work that moved me most: creating timeless portraits for families who value connection and legacy. We later moved to Canada to build a studio where every detail is intentional and every experience feels effortless.

My approach is simple: beauty with meaning. I’ll handle the styling, light, and gentle direction—so you can simply be present. The result is art that feels like you: soft, elegant, and alive with the moments you never want to forget.


I photograph what time can’t keep.

Meet SERAP

Over the years, I’ve photographed more than 2,000 families from over 90 countries, and each story has taught me something new about love, legacy, and what truly matters.

That experience has shaped a process that is calm, curated, and deeply personal — from your first hello to the artwork that lives on your walls.

If you’re looking for portraits that feel as effortless as they are beautiful — you’re exactly where you need to be.

xoxo,
Serap

That decision changed everything.
