Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the beautiful moments you captured! These are the true memories that will forever remain ingrained in our minds and souls.

Even though I was feeling huge and quite exhausted, Raluca’s photographs were about a joyful, beautiful and happy mother, holding a wonderful baby in her arms.
She is a brilliant photographer and an amazing person.
