because life only happens once!

about you
You must be here because:
You are drawn to authenticity and meaning in a world full of superficiality.
You know perfection doesn't exist and imperfections are what make us unique.
You like relaxed and stress-free photoshoots.
You want more than a collection of faces. You want moments, personalities and connections.
You love beautiful, meaningful photographs.
You want to leave a unique legacy of photographs behind you.
Welcome
Hi there!
to my world of stories!
I'm a Romanian-born American who now lives in Essex, UK with her awesome husband, five kids, some chickens and a dog.
Photography is my language, my way of telling you how awesome you are.
So together let's create a collection of imperfectly perfect moments that shout how great you are!
I'm Ralu

Kind Words
"Ralu brilliantly captured our everyday craziness in the most genuine and beautiful photos we could have ever imagined."
The C Family
My Promise
empowering
Stress-free
Authentic
There is power in real photographs because they show you how important you are to those around you, how hard you work and how much you love.
No cheesy smiles, no posing and no perfect behaviour needed or expected. You just get to be yourself, enjoy your time and those around you.
Life is beautiful because of its imperfections. Let's celebrate those, let's celebrate you, the imperfect, beautiful YOU.
