Andra Nesiu
I’m Andra Gabriela, a family and newborn photographer who recently moved to Neusiedl Am See, Burgenland (Austria) from Timisoara (Romania). My journey has been a wonderful adventure, and I’m excited to share my passion for photography with you.
I believe that my playful attitude is one of my greatest assets as a photographer. Thanks to my years of babysitting, children quickly relax around me, and we have a blast playing in front of the camera. If you’re looking for a photographer who simply tells you to stare into the camera, I might not be the right fit for your session. Instead, I prefer a more natural style that captures the essence of your family’s love, laughter, and tender moments.

ELENA GAVLAK PHOTO – creating happy stories
Hi, I am Elena – a passionate birth, family, babies & kids photographer.
I have always been amazed by how a single photograph tells the story of a thousand words. And that is what I love about powerful, emotional photos – there are no words needed.

During birth, I respect the woman and her space, hold back and take the “observer” role.
When I work with a family or children, we first chat and create a little relationship. Photography is about trust – that you put your trust in me, can feel relaxed and natural. If we manage this, it will be a happy story!
