 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best photo shoot experience with Oana. I had two little ones with me which can be challenging at the best of times. Oana was so patient and helpful and made the whole experience feel stress free with the little ones. Oana provided beautiful outfits for all the family which really added to the photos. On top of this my favourite dress to borrow was a little low cut for my liking but she kindly edited the photos beautifully to remove my cleavage/bra from the images. I highly recommend Oana more you will not be disappointed if you decide to book a shoot.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a lovely experience with Oana. Her home studio is beautiful with soft, neutral tones that make the photos feel timeless and natural. She was amazing with our toddler and made the whole session feel relaxed and fun, which meant she captured really genuine family moments. We absolutely love the final images and couldn’t recommend Oana enough to anyone looking for natural, family photos with little ones.

Oana was so welcoming, patient, calm and gentle throughout, which really helped us both relax and enjoy it. The studio was beautiful, clean and the whole session felt really natural and comfortable. The photos came out absolutely gorgeous! I really appreciate the time and care she took with us, it honestly meant a lot. I’d highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again . 💕

Baby photography

From first smiles to curious eyes, every stage is worth remembering. Baby sessions are especially lovely once your little one can sit up confidently on their own — usually around 6–9 months — as this is when their personality truly shines through. I also photograph babies up to 2 years old, keeping each session simple, playful, and timeless.

Cake Smash & Splash

Celebrate a first birthday with joy and laughter. These sessions are perfect for little ones turning 1 year old. We’ll start with portraits, then let the fun unfold as your baby explores their cake, and finish with a bubbly splash in a tiny tub. Bright, playful, and usually full of personality and giggles.

Family Photography

A relaxed session to capture your family just as you are. Perfect for families with children of any age, up to 5 members. I focus on connection, laughter, and the little moments you’ll treasure as your family grows and changes.

Newborn Photography

Tiny details, soft expressions, and the gentle beauty of your baby’s very first weeks. Newborn sessions are best booked when your little one is 1–4 weeks old, while they’re still naturally curled and sleepy. My cosy home studio is warm and calm, so you can relax while I capture these fleeting early moments.

Professional Headshots

For small business owners, creatives, or professionals — I create clean, natural portraits that feel approachable and authentic. Suitable for any age or stage of business, these can be styled in the studio or lifestyle-based, giving you fresh, timeless images that reflect you and your brand.

Christmas Photography

Seasonal sessions filled with warmth and sparkle. Perfect for families and children of any age, these sessions use a cosy, festive studio setup — a fun way to create timeless keepsakes and treasured holiday memories.
