HI! I’M CLAUDIA I'm a Romanian with a dash of Hungarian, calling Canada my home now. I’m also the person that will be more than your “photographer for the day.” I believe in connection and emotion, so I am here to get to know you and become part of your loving, chaotic and ever beautiful family. From the quiet moments; when your little one gives you the biggest hug his heart can hold, to the 5 o’clock tantrum when the orange cup is not actually what he wants, even though he just screamed his lungs out that he wants that one. Thank you for trusting me to capture your life with its treasures and intimacy. I do it with passion and it brings me so much joy to know that in 20 years from now, you will still have these photographs to remember the NOW.

Maternity + Newborn Session Bundle Your life is about to change forever in the best way possible! Sure, you will clean up poop, find lost shoes and barely have time to shower, but at the end of the day, it will still be amazing. You’ll get to experience your growing baby bump, see your little one smile for the first time, say your name in the cutest way possible, and wobble their way to your arms as they take their first steps. Weather in studio or on location, let’s document your pregnancy and create beautiful images that you and your partner will treasure always as a couple! After your baby’s birth, I will come by your home in the first 7 days to photograph your grown family. This will be a perfect time to capture intimate moments of you and your baby, and some peaceful, sleeping ones of just the little one.

Questions & Answers Q: I want to book you! What’s the payment timeline? A: Sounds good! First, you reserve your date and time by paying the session fee. After your session, it takes about 2-4 weeks to edit your beautiful photos. Once I’m done, I’ll get in touch with you and show you the end result (it’s going to be amazing, trust me!) and you choose a Collection or A la carte product. That’s also the time when you pay for these products. Q: Do you accept payment plans? A: Yes! At the end of the day, I want you to have your photographs in the form of tangible, artistic products, so I’d be happy to work with your family on a payment plan that fits your monthly budget. Q: What if I need to cancel? A: Please note that the session fee is a non-refundable retainer. If you cancel up to 7 days prior to your session, then you can transfer the fee to a future session within the calendar year. If you cancel less than 7 days, I reserve the right to retain the full amount.
Love “Every time we look at the collection of photos taken by Claudia, we’re amazed and thrilled by the moments she captured. Over the last few months we have had several sessions with Claudia: family, maternity, birth and a newborn photo shoot. Claudia always has so many wonderful ideas and works to bring your vision to life. What a wonderful gift, to have some very precious times in our life forever remembered.” – Christine and Mike
“We have had the pleasure of working with Claudia many times. She has become a staple member of all of our family milestones as she has beautifully captured our engagement, wedding, maternity and newborn photos for both our children. We continue to choose Claudia because she is such a joy to work with and takes the awkwardness out of having our photos done. She encourages us to be ourselves in the photos and include artifacts (like dinosaurs) that are meaningful to us.” – Heather and Gary
