Alexandra Petrache smiling in the warm light of a garden.

I’m Alexandra.

I love photographing you when you feel at ease. When you’re talking, holding each other close or playing with your little ones.

I’ll guide you when you need it and let things unfold at your own pace.

A mother holding her child close, their foreheads touching. — In your arms, time stands still.

A mother hugging her two daughters as the younger one laughs in her arms. — One mum. Two miracles. One endless love.

A father looking at his laughing daughter in his arms, in black and white. — Dad makes laughter come easily.

A baby’s hand curled around a parent’s finger. — Your hand is still so small.

A little girl laughing as her mother holds her hands on the sand. — Her laughter, the sweetest melody.

An expectant couple laughing together, in black and white. — From your love, a miracle is born.

A mother closes her eyes as she hugs her little girl in the grass. — What a photo session *with me feels like.*

We prepare for your session together.

We choose the location and feel of the session in advance, around what you enjoy and what suits you. I’ll help with outfits too. Send me what you have in mind and we’ll choose together.

We start by getting to know each other.

Tell me a little about yourselves and your children: what you enjoy doing together and how you feel in front of the camera.

We follow your children’s lead.

If your little ones become restless, we try something different. I want you to enjoy this time together.

I notice the little things.

I love capturing the way they reach for your hand and make you laugh.

We worked with Alexandra for our maternity and newborn photo sessions. We really connected with her very natural style of photography, and when we met her we were impressed by her passion, dedication, attention to detail and professionalism. She helped us feel at ease, and we came away with beautiful photographs and happy memories.
She was wonderful with our baby: she managed to soothe her and get her to sleep, and had endless patience in finding the best photographs of the three of us. I’m already looking forward to our next family sessions. I wholeheartedly recommend her for such a warm and light-filled experience!

Am colaborat cu Alexandra pentru ședința foto de maternitate și nou-născut. Am rezonat puternic cu stilul ei foarte natural de fotografie și când ne-am întâlnit am fost impresionată de pasiunea, dedicarea, atenția la detalii și profesionalismul de care a dat dovadă. Ne-a ajutat să ne simțim în largul nostru și ne-am ales cu niște poze superbe și amintiri fericite.
Cu bebe s-a purtat nemaipomenit, a reușit să o liniștească și să o adoarmă și a avut răbdare nelimitată să obțină cele mai bune cadre cu noi trei. Deja aștept cu nerăbdare următoarele sesiuni foto în familie. Recomand cu toată încrederea pentru o experiență tare caldă și luminoasă!

Thank you for the experience, and we wish you every success!

O experiență plină de emoții pentru noi ca proaspeți părinți. Alexandra este o persoană care reunește calități artistice și umane deosebite de a fotografia nou-născuți. Decorul pus la dispoziție face ușoară intrarea în atmosferă pentru cei fotografiați și la indicațiile calde ale Alexandrei și cu răbdarea care o caracterizează, totul se desfășoară în mod natural, ca o poveste.
Mulțumim pentru experiența oferită și mult succes în continuare!

Relaxed and full of fun

We start with your children’s games: jumping, picking flowers and getting the whole family involved. I want you to enjoy being with them, without worrying about whether they’ll pose.

An hour together

The session lasts around an hour. Outdoors, we photograph the whole family; studio sessions focus on children under one year old.

From preparation to photographs

I’ll send you a preparation guide after booking. Payment is after the session, and your photographs will be ready within two weeks.

Photographs that feel like you

We keep things playful and leave room for your joy. I want the photographs to hold the simplicity, light and emotion of this time of waiting.

28–35 weeks

This is the time I recommend for maternity photographs. The session lasts around an hour.

From preparation to photographs

You’ll receive a preparation guide after booking. Payment is after the session, and your images will be ready within two weeks.

The smallest details

I love working with white and focusing on you and your baby together. I look for your emotions and the delicate details of these first days.

The first two weeks

This is when I recommend having your session. We arrange the booking before your baby arrives and choose the exact date a few days after the birth.

Around two hours

We can meet in the studio or I can come to your home. You’ll receive a preparation guide beforehand; payment is after the session, and your photographs will be ready within two weeks.

Each year, I welcome you to my Christmas and Mommy & Me sessions. For each occasion, we prepare a special studio setting, simple and full of light.
