ABOUT ME
Where am I located?
My studio is located in the 16th district of Vienna, close to Ottakring U-Bahn station.
What do you shoot?
I specialize in maternity, newborn photography, also in smash the cake, toddlers and mommy & me sessions.
Why did I become a photographer?
I’ve always been visually stimulated to create something new, that I connect well with. I actually wanted to work as a graphic designer initially, but life’s path and God’s plan for me was a little different. So … here I am 🙂 and I’m loving it.
How did it all begin?
My artsy journey began in high school- I studied at Art’s High School in Romania and then I studied photography 2 years in Vienna, at dieGraphische college. I’ve been photographing since 2011, but I only started working in the newborn and maternity field in 2013. It was then, when I had my first newborn baby, that I photographed. It was of course much more than I was expecting and much harder .. but I liked it, so I gave it a chance. i invested in more equipment, in a LOT of props (and when I say “a lot” … well you should ask my husband 🙂 ) and later in 2018 I invested more in myself and went to workshops and mentoring sessions with some well known photographers in this field. In January 2023, I photographed my 100th newborn baby and with each baby that comes in my studio, I get to challenge my creativity posing them in stylising the setups (love that part!), but I also challenge myself to get better and better and to grow more.
Discovering me?
Since then I’ve been on a thrilling journey of discovering my style in this branch of photography. It’s interesting to see how, while learning new things, my vision and my style are shaping more and more. I love progress, I love a good challenge and you will be able to see that through my work at one point.
What will I do for you?
I will try to take more than just photos. I will try to capture a few of life’s greatest moments, that you will cherish forever. So bring all the babies to me! Let’s write the story of your life!

My work is guided by personal values, artistic vision, and a clearly defined focus. I choose to work on projects
that align with these principles and within the scope of services I offer.
I believe photography is a deeply personal collaboration, and for this reason, I may respectfully decline requests
that are not the right fit, in order to ensure the best experience and outcome for everyone involved.
