Get to know the photographer
Family & Lifestyle Portraits
Hi, I’m Alina — the heart behind Alina Marie Photography. My love for photography started simply, as a mom wanting to capture every sweet, fleeting moment of my kids growing up. What began with everyday snapshots — sticky fingers, big smiles, and quiet snuggles — slowly grew into a passion for preserving genuine connection and emotion through my lens.
Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.
Motherhood changed the way I see everything — especially through the lens. It’s what first made me pick up my camera, wanting to hold onto every tiny detail before it slipped away. The way little hands reach for yours, the wild giggles, the quiet moments that often go unnoticed — those are the memories that matter most. My photography is rooted in that feeling — the deep love, chaos, and beauty of motherhood — and my hope is to capture those fleeting moments for other families, too.
Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with storytelling through photography. I’m drawn to the natural moments — the in-between smiles, the little glances, the real laughter that makes a photo feel alive. Whether it’s a family session, a newborn snuggle, or a couple’s embrace, my goal is to create warm, timeless images that feel true to you.

Alina was so professional throughout the entire process. She took time to get to know our family and plan a photo shoot that represented us. She was kind and patient, working with both a boisterous toddler and unpredictable newborn. The photos were gorgeous and we will cherish them always.
