Capturing love, growth and memories for one special family


I first met the Lazar family in June 2019 for Reggie’s first cake smash. It was easy to plan everything with them. The conversations flowed, and I felt welcome from the start. Reggie smiled, danced, and had the time of his life. The session was full of joy.



Later, they invited me to photograph Anca’s pregnancy. She glowed with kindness and warmth—inside and out. Every meeting with her feels like chatting with a friend. Calm. Gentle. Open-hearted. I felt proud they trusted me again to capture such a special moment.



Then came baby Luna’s newborn session. I wanted their gallery to hold every emotion—love, wonder, hope. A second child brings more patience, more strength, more unity. I aimed to freeze those quiet, powerful feelings in their photos.


The next time, we met for a Christmas mini session. Reggie had grown into a protective big brother. He watched over Luna with such care. Their bond shone through every hug, every smile. They were their parents’ sun and moon.


When Luna turned one, I photographed her milestone. Big, beautiful eyes. A smile that lit up the room. She clapped, danced, and gave me the biggest hug at the end. That hug meant everything, after such a difficult year. It filled my heart.

Of course, sibling love has its moments. Reggie wanted to hug Luna. She made him chase her for it. Every hug became a little adventure.


They came back again for Christmas 2021. Reggie knew exactly what to expect. He smiled from start to finish, eager to show Santa his joy. Luna stayed close to Mummy and Daddy, soaking up their love. And even though she wasn’t ready to share hugs with Reggie that day, we captured moments that spoke louder than words.



We’ve also met for back-to-school minis and more Christmas sessions. Every time, I see them grow and their love deepen.



What more can I say?

Children grow so fast. A year slips by before you even notice. But these photos? They hold onto the moments you never want to forget.



Anca and Gabriel—thank you for letting me walk alongside you. Thank you for trusting me to tell your story, one image at a time.

I hope we meet again soon.
