Hello, I'm Olguta (Ol-gouda.. yup, like the cheese .. don't worry you're not the first to have had that initial thought)! Originally from Romania and having grown up in the San Francisco Bay area - life brought me to San Diego back in 2005 and i'm lucky enough to  call Oceanside, home. I am married to a former Marine and a momma to two of the sweetest little boys ever - Jacob who is 9 and Logan who is 6. I'm a lover of coffee, Olive Garden (who doesn’t love those breadsticks!), sappy music, pretty lighting, and adventures! If you have a unique location idea - LETS GO!  I've always adored photography and love capturing special moments for others. Being able to freeze these precious, fleeting moments in a beautiful photograph that will last a lifetime and for future generations, make me absolutely love what I do. I always joke with my clients that they don’t pay me for selfies or snapshots. As much as I love an authentic moment, I want the images you get from me to be fine art and polished like ART — not just leave you with 200 snapshots 99% of which will never make it to your walls or be passed down through generations. When I’m not behind the camera or enjoying family time, you’ll find me educating fellow creatives. I host private mentor sessions, as well as teach at in-person workshops throughout the United States and online. I have taught my own group workshops, on the Milkyway Online Maternity + Newborn Retreat, Ana Brandts Baby & Belly Academy, and am a Resident Instructor for the Summerana Academy - I love sharing my knowledge with others!
