Hi, I'm Romi!
I grew up in the Austrian countryside, surrounded by mountains, forests, and lakes—like something out of a postcard. The landscapes and deep-rooted culture shaped the texture of my vision, influencing how I see light, emotion, and storytelling. It’s where my love for photography began.
At 19, I solo ventured to Ireland, drawn to its rugged, misty coastlines. Eventually, I landed in Texas and fell into the romance of the Southwest. Finally, in 2020, I made my dream of moving to the Pacific Northwest a reality.
My work blends natural light, rich textures, and a touch of cinematic moodiness, creating images that feel both timeless and personal. I focus on emotion, movement, and connection, whether through a vulnerable portrait or an expressive editorial shot. I love capturing the in-between moments—the way light dances on skin, the laughter that spills out when no one’s looking, the quiet confidence in someone’s eyes.
I believe in creating a space where you feel seen, empowered, and free to be your authentic self. My approach is artistic and intuitive, shaped by my own journey toward self-acceptance. Photography became a way of reclaiming my truth, rediscovering my voice, and embracing the parts of myself I once hid. Now, my mission is to reflect the power, beauty, and resilience within you, helping you reconnect with who you are beyond the noise and expectations.
I’ll guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My goal is to create images that resonate, capturing your story in a way that feels raw and meaningful.
Let’s create something beautiful together. I can’t wait to work with you!
P.S. I love cake :)
I'm currently based in Vancouver, WA but available to travel.
