Icons In The Now

Tell us about you. My name is Vera Djackova. I am the owner of VeraD Photography. Photography is my passion and I truly love what I am doing. Originally, I am from Europe (Lithuania) but lived in the USA for more than 15 years. I live in Chicago suburb with my husband, 14-year-old son and two cats. I have multiple degrees in different areas, such as Philology, Law, Healthcare but photography was always with me. I got my first camera when I was in high school and since then love photography. I am fascinated that the camera can stop the moment and create memories. Two years ago, I opened my own company, VeraD Photography, and now I am living my dream. What do you do and why do you do it? I am a photographer and do it simply because I can’t live without a camera. I love life and my photos reflect a variety of life – family, sport, fashion, nature. I can’t choose one area because I believe that my goal is to take photos of every aspect of life.  How does what you do bene
