MAGICAL PHOTOS OF CHILDREN
BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY

Welcome to my world of laughter, light and lens.

I’m Iwona Podlasinska, a passionate photographer and educator hailing from the enchanting landscapes of Poland. But beyond the lens, I am a proud mother of two adventurous boys, accompanied by a mischievous cat and a loyal Cocker Spaniel who fill my life with boundless joy and inspiration.

My journey into the realm of photography took an unexpected turn. Once an architect by profession, my love affair with capturing moments in time blossomed with the arrival of my sons. What began as a personal exploration soon evolved into a profound passion, as my lens captured the essence of childhood in all its raw beauty.

The photographs I captured quickly gained recognition, resonating with audiences around the globe. Encouraged by this reception, I found myself embarking on a new path—one that would redefine my purpose and ignite my soul.

Today, I devote my time and energy to sharing my knowledge and expertise with aspiring photographers, both in Poland and across the world. Through workshops, tutorials, and creative collaborations, I empower others to unlock their potential and capture the magic of childhood through their own lenses.

With each click of the shutter, I strive to encapsulate the fleeting moments that define our lives—the laughter, the innocence, the boundless imagination of youth. It is a privilege to witness the world through the eyes of a child and to translate that perspective into timeless images that evoke emotion and stir the soul.

My journey has taken me to far-flung corners of the globe, where I have had the honor of connecting with hundreds of fellow photographers, each with their own unique story to tell. Together, we share not only our passion for the craft but also the challenges and triumphs that come with it. For me, there is no greater joy than fostering a community where creativity thrives and dreams take flight.

Join me as we embark on a journey of discovery—one where every click of the shutter is a testament to the beauty that surrounds us, and every photograph tells a story waiting to be told. Together, let’s capture the magic of childhood and create memories that will last a lifetime.
