Hi, I'm Dina.
My journey with photography began in Moldova, where I was born and raised. Even in high school, I was drawn to the magic of capturing moments, which led me to take my first photography classes. However, back then, I didn’t have the possibility to buy my own camera, so I made the most of every opportunity to borrow one from friend. Those early experiences, though limited, fueled my passion and deepened my desire to learn and create. Every time I had a camera in my hands, I felt a sense of excitement and purpose, knowing that I was preserving moments that would otherwise be lost.
When I moved to the United States, one of the first things I did was buy my own digital camera, a decision that would shape my future in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I took that camera with me everywhere—from vibrant festivals to serene beaches and the breathtaking state parks of Oregon and Washington. I found joy in capturing the beauty of nature, the energy of events, and the simple, everyday moments that tell a story. It was during these years that I began to truly understand the power of photography in preserving memories.
Throughout this journey, I was fortunate to have dear friends who believed in me. They became my first subjects, allowing me to photograph them and their families. Their trust and encouragement helped me refine my craft, turning a hobby into a true calling. Every click of the shutter was a step forward, a chance to learn and grow as a photographer.
Now, I live in Fort Worth, TX, with my husband and our son, who inspire me daily. With their unwavering support, I’ve decided to take the leap and turn my passion into a full-time career. For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures; it’s about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions, and the stories that make life meaningful. I’m dedicated to creating images that you’ll cherish for a lifetime, preserving the memories that matter most to you.
Whether it’s a family session, a special event, or just a day in the life, I’m here to help you freeze those fleeting moments in time, so you can look back on them with joy for years to come. I’m excited to share my love for photography with you and to create beautiful, lasting memories together.
