Hey There !

 I’m Małgorzata — but you can call me Margot.


I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Abu Dhabi, a proud mum of two beautiful girls (who sometimes cause me a nervous breakdown), the wife of my wonderfully Italian husband, and a lifelong cat lover.

Photography has been part of my world for as long as I can remember. As a child, I loved flipping through family albums — little treasures that brought back faces, stories, and the love we sometimes take for granted. Even then, I understood how powerful photographs could be — how they keep people close, even when life changes.

I learned that lesson early. I lost my father at a young age, and photographs became more than just memories — they became a way to hold onto him: his smile, his warm hug, and the feeling of being safe and loved. That experience shaped how I see photography today — not as a simple portrait, but as something deeply meaningful that preserves memories of our loved ones.

When I became a mother, that belief only grew stronger. My journey to motherhood wasn’t simple — after going through multiple IVF cycles, I truly understood how precious life is and wanted to capture every moment of it. Even though motherhood is still the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, I want to preserve the feeling of every cuddle, every laugh, and every quiet in-between moment.

My Style

My approach to photography is to capture real, authentic moments, with a focus on joy and connection. I don’t chase perfection or stiff poses. I focus on the bond between you and your little ones — the way your child runs into your arms, the way you look at each other, the laughter that comes naturally when you forget the camera is there.

Today, I photograph families, couples, and parents who want more than just beautiful images. They want photographs that feel like them — timeless, emotional, and full of life. Images that will one day be looked at the way I once looked at those albums: with love and gratitude.

Because moments pass.
Memories fade.
Photographs are what remain.

I’ve been capturing real, unscripted moments that tell your family’s story for over 12 years and have photographed hundreds of families. If you’re looking for simple, timeless images filled with feeling, love, and the moments that matter most, I would be honoured to capture your story.

Few Facts

I grew up speaking Polish and, over the years, picked up English, Italian, and a little French — languages have always been my way of connecting with people.

The desert is my favorite office. 

Coffee is a non-negotiable part of my mornings — everything starts there.

Before photography, my path was anything but linear. I’ve been a language teacher, a consular officer, and a call center manager before finally following my passion.

And despite being behind the camera every day, I still prefer staying out of the frame — which is probably why I’m so gentle with those who feel the same ;)
