"Even though it was cold and rainy, Simona brought so much warmth and sincerity that the whole experience felt sunny. The photos are vibrant, magical, and full of life. She truly listened to my ideas and added her own thoughtful touches. I’m so grateful for the beautiful results and can’t wait for our next session! Highly recommend her—for any moment, big or small."

My Style


My photography is rooted in storytelling — romantic, raw, and real. I’m drawn to the little things: the way your child rests their head on your shoulder, soft hands held tightly, or the way sunlight dances through your home. These in-between, unscripted moments are the ones I love the most — the ones that so often go unnoticed, but say everything.

I work in a lifestyle way, lightly guiding when needed, but always holding space for authenticity. You won’t find stiff posing or forced smiles here — just honest, emotive imagery that feels like you.

When it comes to editing, I lean toward soft, muted tones — warm but gentle, with earthy greens, buttery light, and creamy skin tones. I avoid heavy contrast or overly saturated colors so the emotion and tenderness of your session stays center stage. My goal is for your gallery to feel timeless and nostalgic — like a memory unfolding.

If you're looking for photos that hold feeling, that tell your story in a way that’s meaningful and true — then we might be the perfect fit.

A sun-drenched afternoon spent chasing giggles and gathering memories—heartfelt family photography rooted in connection and presence.
