A Little About Me

From a girl with a camera in Moldova to a dream come true.

I grew up in Moldova and picked up my first camera in 2013, when I was still in high school. Photography quickly became more than a hobby: it gave me money of my own all through high school and college. I started as an event and wedding photographer, learning to catch real moments as they happened.

In 2017 I moved to the United States. My husband and I met in college, and today we are raising our little boy and girl together. After my daughter was born in 2021, I picked my camera back up and fell in love with maternity photography. Becoming a mom myself showed me how precious and fleeting that season is.

Today I am a proud studio owner and a maternity and family photographer in the DMV, serving Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. My studio has an unlimited gown collection, so you never have to worry about what to wear. I create timeless maternity photos, family portraits and Christmas mini sessions.

I am also a wife, a daughter, a granddaughter, a good friend and a perfectionist at heart, so I know how full your plate is. Learning to delegate and let go is still hard for me, and that is exactly why I plan every detail of your session. You get to relax and be present, and I take care of the rest.
