And what makes my approach truly different


More and more travelers are booking a professional photoshoot during their vacation in Croatia.

Because if you’re already visiting one of the most beautiful places in Europe,

why not take home more than just memories?

Why not capture the feeling of being here, with someone who understands the light, the landscape and the moment?

Where it all began


I was twelve when I got my first camera.From that day on, I was always outside, lying in the grass, sitting by the lake, walking in the forest. Nature was my first love.

Years later, I turned my flower shop into a photo studio and photographed thousands of women, families, weddings, children and entrepreneurs. But eventually, I felt the call to go back outside. Back to natural light, fresh air, open space.


I moved to Croatia.


Why Croatia is the perfect backdrop

I now work in the most breathtaking locations, at the Plitvice Lakes, in the village of Rastoke, along the coast, and in hidden ruins and mountain landscapes.Whether you’re looking for a honeymoon photoshoot, a relaxed family session, personal branding images or a soulful solo portrait, you won’t get stiff poses or tourist snapshots.

You’ll get photos that feel calm, natural and alive.


What makes my style unique


Because I’ve photographed both people and landscapes for over 25 years, I naturally pay attention to light, composition and visual balance. Even in a dense forest or a wild rocky path, I see exactly where to place you so the image feels effortless. That’s not something I have to think about, it’s just there.

This is how you get photos that breathe. Photos where you shine, and the background supports your story. Photos you’ll want to frame, revisit, and remember.

Most people say…

“I didn’t know I could look like that.”

And honestly?That’s my favorite part.

Because when you see yourself — really see yourself —that’s where the magic happens.
