My name is Irina and I’m the photographer behind Irina Negrean Photography!
I started shooting more than 14 years ago, right after graduating from UW with a degree in Sociology. At first I worked as a wedding photographer, but eventually found my way towards portrait work.
“I LOVE what I do, and I’m so passionate about the work I get to create with my clients and the stories I get to tell.”
Stories of moms booking family shoots so they can be in photos with their beautiful families, of teenagers excitedly booking their senior photos, business owners bravely showing up for updated headshots. These are the stories that deserve to be told. Your stories.
Not just the grand moments that take your breath away like weddings, but also the milestone years when sleep is sparse but the love is overflowing, the little inconspicuous fleeting moments you want to remember forever, the way your babies looked, how your husband couldn’t take his eyes off you, the way your family grows and changes, the year your baby goes to college, all of it passes in a blur.
I believe photography is the language of memories, make sure yours tell your story beautifully. So that when you look back on your great big beautiful life, it makes your heart soar.
I truly believe I was MEANT for this job. I’m a total extrovert, HIGHLY sociable and a FOREVER GIRL’S GIRL. I’m a posing pro (I especially love to work with plus sized bodies), I love to be creative and I’m very good at distracting people from the fact that there’s a camera pointed at them. Most of my clients are shocked at how easy it is and how much fun they have! I especially have a soft spot for working with seniors as I’m a proud momma of a soon to be teen and I find young people to be so refreshingly honest, rebellious and creative. I can DEFINITELY work with that! ESPECIALLY when they come with loads of ideas and visions for their shoot!
If you’d like to follow me online, I share openly and honestly on instagram, TikTok and Facebook but the best way to get to know me better is to invite yourself over for a cup of coffee and some of my famous Romanian crepes.
