I found Olguta's page through a mutual friend, and when I say I "bookmarked" it so fast, thinking one day "If I do have children I want to work with her!" Olguta made my dreams come true, simply put. Body image is tough when you're pregnant, but truly she is a mastermind at identifying everyones angles, beauty and directs the shoot so wonderfully. Its a true talent many photographers lack. Never in my life have I been so in love with every picture. It was impossible to make a choice, so naturally we bought the whole album. The whole experience, from booking, her taking the time to survey and find out each individual clients interests, wants, etc. to joining her at her AMAZING Oceanside studio, it was like you were a celebrity for the day. Also, I must add Olguta is the kindest, most welcoming beautiful person inside and out, she made me feel extremely comfortable during this entire process. This is a MUST if you are expecting, it is my wish that every expecting mama gets this experience. BOOK HER today, you will not regret it! Thank you Olguta! read more

I have been following Olguta for awhile since my friend had maternity & family pictures done by her. I knew this would be our last, so I wanted to go all out with a glam maternity shoot . Olguta was soo welcoming the moment I stepped into her studio and made me feel comfortable & beautiful the whole time in front of the camera. She has so many gorgeous dresses to choose from. Quick turn around time with sneak peek & final edits (especially with the holiday season coming up.) I am so happy with the way the photos came out. Thank you again for your amazing work! 100% recommend her!! read more

I can't say enough about Olguta and her mad photography skills. She did my first maternity shoot 4 years ago, and we had such an incredible experience that we wanted her to do my maternity photoshoot for baby 2 a few days ago. Olguta is a genuinely awesome person who will make you feel extremely comfy! She even made my toddler smile/laugh in a ton of captures. The overall experience was more than amazing from start to finish. Her creativity and eye for detail is next level. I would give her a 100 stars if I could! Looking forward to more future sessions with her. read more

If I could give more stars I would. We just did our second shoot with oh my Goddard and both times were amazing experiences. The second time I had my two year old and Olguta went out of her way to make him comfortable, laughing and smiling. The only problem is every single photo is perfect so it's so hard to choose!!! Not only is her work amazing but it she's so kind and patient. I would recommend her to anyone expecting. Thank you again for this amazing experience. read more

This photographer does beautiful/amazing work! ... but on top of that she is attentive and quickly responds to questions and is very informative and helpful. The day of the shoot she arrived to the shoot location early and helped us navigate how to get there. When we arrived, she helped me and my daughter get dressed and even carried my daughter a few times for me! She is just a super friendly/helpful person, who is not only great with clients but with kids as well. My daughter loved her... we loved her. Olguta, really made the experience special .. and for that I can't thank her enough. The pictures are amazing. She does high quality work and we are so happy to have worked with her. She is a true artist and a professional at her craft. We will be using her for our next maternity shoot! Thank you Olguta!!! read more

As a busy mom I want easy and she completely removes all the decision fatigue. She had different outfits to choose from all I had to do was show up to her studio with my cute baby. She was so great with my baby and captured beautiful candid moments. Completely recommend doing a cake smash with Oh My Goddard photography luck no further. read more

Oh My Goddard Photography - Cake smash - Session Photography Near Me

I had been on bedrest since 18 weeks and wasn't sure if I was even going to make it to have maternity photos done. In the time leading up to the shoot, Olguta was always super prompt and understanding during all of our communications. She made notes of all my inspiration pics and understood the whole vibe I was going for. By the time the shoot came around I was not feeling very glam at all, feeling more like a beached whale, but Olguta made my family and I feel so comfortable during the shoot - even with a toddler and a dog running around the studio. I just saw my gallery online this week and I can't believe how amazing she was capturing all of our moments together and making me feel 100% LIKE A GODDESS. My family and I are usually the most unphotogenic people when you get us together (we are cursed) but right now I am so excited to get my final pics back and cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to get photos done and sing her praises. She is such an incredible person and is awesome to work with, I really did have a magical experience with her! read more

Olguta was a pleasure to work with to say the least, in the beginning of my booking it turned out that my fiancé was going to be out to sea at the time of original booking date to which Olguta was so understanding and worked out a better date for us. During our shoot she made my fiancé and I feel so welcomed and helped me go from shy to confident and come out of my shell. Her turnaround and response time is incredible for the volume of work she does! My fiancé and I are incredibly happy with the results of our maternity shoot I truly could not have pictured it better. I would do it 10x over! read more

Hands down amazing art work! I would go back again and again to be photographed and edited by Olguta!! She talked to me about anything and everything I wanted to pre shoot. Helped me get into my dress and made me feel extremely comfortable in her hands. She has an amazing eye and lens! I am a fellow photographer and literally loved every second of this experience! Dreamy, creamy, and absolutely stunning work! Hope to have more opportunities with her! Thank you Olguta!!! read more

My husband and I have worked with many photographers, we regularly get pictures done usually twice a year and very few have been like Olguta. She is super personal and friendly; she gives great direction as far as what to do and putting you at ease that you will look amazing. I truly felt like she was invested in ensuring that we would have amazing photos. You will definitely not regret booking with her. I personally am not one to write reviews but felt that others who may be on the fence needed to know that you should definitely book her and the investment is worth it. read more

Olguta, was AMAZING!!!! I couldn't believe how amazing our photos turned out! Straight out of a fairy tale. We shot at the beach and inside her studio. There was over 200 gowns to choose from plus the most gorgeous accessories. She made me feel so comfortable shooting in literally nothing but angel wings. I can't wait do it again for the next pregnancy! San Diego's BEST maternity photographer. read more

In all my years of working with photographers, I have never met anyone quite as amazing as Olguta. I am personally terrible at taking pictures and have always considered myself to be super un-photogenic. If ever I had taken pictures, it was for family special events, and I dreaded them. For once, I decided to give it a shot and take maternity pictures since I hadn't for my 2 previous pregnancies. I felt so strange stepping out of my comfort zone to do something for myself since I'm always great at doing things for others. After seeing her amazing gallery I knew Olguta had great taste and that I could trust her artistic judgment blindly and boy, was I right! I let her guide me and she was incredible! She'd tell me how to pose and she hyped me through the whole session. I have never felt so beautiful and confident. She was easy to talk to, friendly, kind, great at giving directions, confident that she knew what she was doing and all I had to do was follow her lead. This truly was one of the best experiences of my life and I am so grateful to have found her. I know when my daughter sees my pictures she will see a strong confident mom and I totally owe that to Olguta and her beautiful self, who made me believe in myself and helped me channel my inner goddess. I 1000% recommend her and can confidently say anyone who books with her won't regret it. read more

Olguta is the best photographer one could ask for. She was super professional yet personable and kid friendly. Preparing for our cake smash sessions was a breeze along with the actual session itself. Her studio is amazing and everything went smoothly. She was very communicative through to the end and sent over the entire photo gallery within 48 hours. Will definitely book future photo sessions with her! read more

I love love love working with Olguta. I even commute to get my pictures taken by her. So far I have done 3 sessions with her! She is awesome with my daughter as well as my husband!! (Who hates taking pictures ahha). Her response time is awesome & her pictures are to die for. I can't get enough!! Thanks Olguta for capturing such special moments with my family. read more

I came across Oh My Goddards page, and instantly fell in love with all the maternity pictures. The booking process was easy. When we got to the shoot, Olguta, was sure to create a relaxing and fun atmosphere for my family and I. She had a huge maternity gown collection to choose from and accessories as well. I communicated my wishes for the photo shoot and she delivered! On top of her professionalism she was very sweet and had high energy. My son began to cry and she began making jokes, to make him laugh which saved the family shoot! I highly recommend booking with Olguta, you will not be disappointed. read more

The best of the best experience I've ever had with a photographer. As a mom to be I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin, but the way Olguta made me feel is unexplainable. I had never had this much fun in a photoshoot experience as much as I did with her. She is the best and I will be booking with her soon again for family photos!!! read more

I'm used to and prefer being behind the camera lens rather than being photographed but I wanted to document my pregnancy after taking so long to get there! I loved my maternity shoot with Olguta (Oh My Goddard Photography)! Her personality is great and she puts you at ease during the shoot, the selection of wardrobe options she has is AHMAZING, her editing is beautiful and my husband was so impressed with my photos!

Olguta was super professional and friendly, made me feel at ease the moment I arrived. I haven't taken photos in years so I was nervous of the outcome, but when I saw them my heart skipped several beats, they were stunning!!! I drove from Los Angeles to Oceanside just to get a session with her and I would do it again if I needed more maternity pics. Excellent, superb, great communication, great direction, I highly recommend her and reach out sooner than later because she stays booked!' read more

It's been about 5/6 months since I've had my photos taken but I'm still so happy over the results. This photographer is awesome!

I felt like a princess getting to choose from a variety of different dresses and accessories she provided. I highly recommend this business to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She made my first maternity shoot experience the best day ever. read more

This day was a highlight of my last pregnancy. I had not taken maternity photos with my first two and came across Olguta's instagram and fell in love with her photography style. I had so much fun during our shoot. She made me feel comfortable (even when the shoot was implied nude) and beautiful the entire time I was with her. Speaking with her was an absolutely pleasure - it truly felt like you were having your photos taken by an old friend and not someone you had just met that day. Right before our shoot I had dropped my curling iron on my chest and it caused substantial red marks. She is an editing master and was able to remove the burn - you would have no idea it ever happened. She is a wonderful person, a talented photographer and a magician when it comes to editing. I'm only sad I won't be able to take photos with her again someday. Thank you for a beautiful day, Olguta! I feel very lucky to have these pictures I will cherish forever! read more

Such an amazing eye and raw talent behind the lens. Olguta is personable, friendly, efficient and knows what she's doing. She produced high quality work and gets even the most awkward in front of the camera to relax and produces great shots. I've received so many compliments on the family shot she took of us in our maternity session. It really captures the essence of our family dynamic better than any photo I've ever seen taken of us! Highly recommend Olguta for your photography needs! read more

AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!!!! I will cherish my photos forever, will definitely come back to her in the future!

Olguta is a real artist! She's very knowledgeable in what she's doing, I didn't know how to pose and she led me perfectly and made me feel so confident. Seriously I can't recommend her work enough. The result was just splendid: elegant, classy, timeless. I'm just extremely happy with the results! read more

Olguta is a great photographer. She was very patience with my family. My husband was running late for the photoshoot and she was very understanding about it. We received our finally edited photo gallery much faster than I expected. She is highly recommended! read more

I had nothing less than a amazing experience with Olguta. My maternity shoot was originally scheduled for the first week of July. I was very excited for my shoot however, the day did not go as expected. I had a stressful morning due to a bad experience with the hairstylist I booked with. I showed up to the studio late and with my hair looking frizzy and not styled at all. Olguta was so sweet and took it upon herself to pushed back her next appt to allow me more time to shoot. I was willing to make the best of it regardless of my bad experience earlier that morning. Olguta pulled me aside and asked me if I would like to reschedule for a different day. She explained she noticed how upset I was and did not want me to look back at my pictures and feel disappointed. If this would have been a different photographer they would not have allowed me to reschedule let alone within a week from my original shoot day. She was so empathetic and so sweet she hugged me and told me everything would work out. The day for the rescheduled shoot came around and I was so happy with her professionalism. I am not photogenic and she guided me throughout my poses and was so sweet and understanding through it all. She constantly asked if I felt ok and or if I needed a break. I am so happy with my pictures and my overall experience with her. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a professional photographer to capture a special moment of your life. She is truly the sweetest person I have met. read more

This was such an amazing experience I was so nervous and Olguta made me feel so special & comfortable I'm so happy I chose her as my maternity photographer. You definitely won't regret it the investment is everything. If I'm blessed with another baby the first thing I'm doing is scheduling my maternity shoot with her my photos turned out so beautiful read more

Olguta was kind enough to take my maternity photos for our very first baby this year. You can see from her Facebook page her work is flawless. Her images are one of a kind, fine art heirloom photos that make anyone look like a super star. She is so kind, thoughtful and patient throughout the entire process. She lifts you up and builds your confidence with every click of the camera. The entire time she was directly she was also praising and genuinely excited about the results. At 8 months pregnant you don't feel so beautiful or confident at times to be in a form fitting gown but her talent and skill makes it all come together very gracefully. I cannot believe that girl in the photo is me. These are memories I'll have captured for a lifetime. Call her you won't regret it. read more
