About

I believe life isn’t just meant to pass by with time - it’s meant to be lived with a deep sense of meaning, impact, and God-given purpose. At my core, I deeply understand the power of stories to bring connection and make a genuine difference. After my family moved from Romania to the United States in 2003 in pursuit of a better life, I've always believed in the potential of seeing dreams turn into reality. Through photography, I've been so blessed to see this little American dream of mine blossom into a business that encourages legacy and creates conversations. I'd be so honored to have a part in telling yours, too. 

f you're someone who values history, tradition, and passing down memories to the next generation. Let me be the first to say this: you're in the right place. Over the past 6 years behind the lens, I've had the distinct privilege of capturing your most memorable moments - from joyful wedding days, to grad photos during cherry blossom season, to announcing the newest member of your family to the world. I believe in truly getting to know each one of my clients-turned-friends and celebrating life right alongside you. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me planning my next trip to the beach, exploring new coffee shops, or visiting family. 

I

Romania will forever be a huge part of my life. The culture, the values, and the memories I have of exploring medieval towns nearby the area I grew up in are so special to me. I love being able to go back and visit family when I get the chance.

01. my home country

Beach trip, anyone? There is nothing that makes me happier than summer sunshine at the beach, iced coffee in hand with a good book to top it all off. Some of my favorite beaches in New Jersey are Avalon and Cape May, but I'll never say no to a trip to Rosemary Beach in Florida.

02. my Happy Place

As a follower of Jesus, my faith is something that is near and dear to my heart. My prayer is that God would use my life to make a difference in this world and to bring peace into every situation I find myself in.

03. my whole heart
