Hey, there

I'M ASTRID,

the woman behind the lens at Bloom Effect Studio. I’m a storyteller at heart, a mother, a dreamer, and someone who believes deeply in the power of self-love and empowerment. My journey into photography began with a simple but profound desire: to help everyday people see their unique beauty, strength, and stories in a way they might never have imagined.

I’ve worn many hats in my life—daughter, mother, friend, businesswoman—and I know firsthand how easy it is to lose sight of your own magic while balancing it all. That’s why I created Bloom Effect Studio, a space where you’re encouraged to bloom into the best version of yourself, no matter where you are in life.

Why

I DO WHAT I DO

I believe photography isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s about capturing moments that make you feel something deep within. It’s about finding those authentic, raw, and powerful pieces of your story that deserve to be celebrated.

I’m here to help you embrace your journey—whether it’s a solo portrait, a maternity shoot, a boudoir session, or capturing the love and chaos of family life. Through my lens, I want you to see yourself in a new, beautiful light.

My ultimate goal is for you to leave not just with stunning photos, but with a renewed sense of self-love and empowerment. This isn’t just a photoshoot; it’s an affirmation of your unique beauty.

I promise to always capture you as authentically and beautifully as you are. I promise to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and celebrated. And most importantly, I promise to give you images that you will cherish for a lifetime, turning them into stunning art that tells your story.

So, whether you’re celebrating a milestone, a relationship, or simply yourself, I’m here to make it unforgettable. Let’s create something beautiful together.

WITH LOVE,

Astrid
