​MEET ALBENA, YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!
​

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here, and I get to share a bit about myself. I've always loved photography. As a kid, I was fascinated by how a photo could freeze time. My dad had a darkroom at home, so I got to witness the magic firsthand, and I've been hooked ever since!

Now, after more than 10 years as a professional photographer, I still feel so fortunate to call this my work. Meeting amazing people, welcoming newborn babies, playing with your kids, and witnessing a piece of your most important moments and journeys—it truly doesn't get any better than that!

As a mom of two teenagers, I know how fleeting and precious the years are, and how much it means to look back at photos of us together. I also believe in the incredible power of a portrait—how it can not only help us connect with others but also deepen our self-acceptance and self-love.
​

My style reflects what I care about most: clean, timeless photos that capture genuine connections, real emotions, and those little details that make life so special. These are the things that truly matter to me, both in my work and in my life. Beyond taking photos and being a mom, I find joy in the simple things: like being in nature, spending time with my friends (who are basically family!), and embracing deep breaths and long hugs. And just like in my work, I believe in celebrating what makes each person special.
