When I opened my inbox late last night, I was delighted to find a link to these amazing photos sent to me by a friend. There is so much magic in this photography by Elena Shumilova, of her two sons and their animals, I was mesmerized.
I had to go back two more times last night to go through these photos. And again this morning. So if I figure if I couldn’t get enough of these photos, there are certainly others that might enjoy them just as much.
These photos here are only a sampling of Elena’s amazing work.
I find these images to be evocative of innocence, imagination, wonderment and pure resonance with nature. What do they evoke for you?

I’m so blow away by these beautiful images. Like you say … they are simply magical. For me, they evoke a kind of dreaminess, wonder, and purity …. so care-free freedom and love. I wish I had her talent!
Those pics are absolutely gorgeous, so artistic. I love the one with the rainbow. Such a great photographer. I would love to have some pics like that of my kiddos.
Oh my goodness, these photos are absolutely amazing!
Those pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I love the one with the haystack.
Amazing photos! You can just feel the love in them. Like you, I wanted to look at each one for a good bit. Love the one of the son running through the field with the rainbow. She is a very talented photographer.
Oh wow! I keep thinking oh that’s my favorite and then I get to the next picture. They are all breathtaking!

i saw these photos a few days ago. i was poking around on stumble upon and there they were. i loved them too
Beautiful is an understatement……..these pictures are breathtaking!
I could see someone as inexperienced as me having a tough time taking photos in those lighting situations. I was just reading a post about how to get good photos of your kids indoors because the lighting is different this time of year and that one with the baby by the window is just perfect! I love even her outdoor ones. So amazing the view and angles she is able to encapsulate in her photos.
wow such gorgeous photos! love the last one so much, what talent!
Stunning photography. I am always amazed what others “see” I wish I had the gift to see the way they do and take photos like this. Thank you for sharing these!
Oh these are amazing! What beautiful photos. I would so love to meet her in person and have her take pics of my daughter. She did an amazing job on all of these!
WOW! Those are amazing shots! They are all so peaceful too, love them all.
