Ioana is a wonderful website designer and an awesome photographer. She just redid our entire website , including the pictures and we are extremely excited, happy and pleased with the results. As a business owner is very hard to find people that will do exactly what you want utilizing their own creativity. If you need a website or especial events pictures she is the right person to pick. Thanks Ioana Ciucur at Jolimia Salon & Spa we are in love with our page.


EMMA Herrera

They were a lovely duo to work with. Fun, accommodating, and helped complete our wedding. They helped capture our ever lasting memories in a beautiful form. I would highly recommend working with them again.

Ioana is an amazing professional. She made me feel comfortable while doing the photoshoot, and I'm in love with the results! We did our session in DC at the National Mall recently, and I'm already spreading the pics all over my social medias and getting a huge positive feedback! People love the pics - or should I say Ioana's work?

Thank you, girl! You rock it!

Great photographer, strongly recommend her.
