I went from being a Chief Happiness Officer to a Women's Empowerment Mentor and Photographer. My mission is to empower and guide women to embrace their unique beauty, through elegant and fashionable portraits that showcase their inner and outer beauty.
My Story
Let me tell you a little bit about myself! I'm a woman with Serbian roots, a proud mother of two grown children, and a lover of all things beautiful. I started my career at Google Switzerland in Zurich, where I was the first woman employed at the European headquarters. There, I implemented a people-first culture that still thrives to this day. In 2015, I decided to follow my passion for spreading happiness and positivity and became a Chief Happiness Officer. I advised companies on implementing customizsed initiatives to make their employees happier, more fulfilled, and motivated. But my heart has always belonged to photography.
With the help of my amazing husband Youri, whom I met on the beautiful island of Ibiza, I rediscovered my love for photography again. We're fortunate to travel the world together, capturing the most beautiful weddings. You can check out our work here.
When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me dancing, spending time in nature, or hanging out with my loved ones. I'm a big foodie and animal lover, and my dream is to have a happy chicken farm where I can sell healthy, happy eggs. Sustainability is a cause close to my heart, and I love connecting with local farms to expand my knowledge.
I'm a passionate photographer dedicated to capturing the beauty and essence of women. Specialising in portrait and branding sessions, I bring your journey to life, whether you're a mom, entrepreneur, or embracing your best life. My mission is to empower women, celebrating their individuality and revealing their true selves. As your mentor, I provide guidance and support to help you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Capturing a woman's essence requires a deep connection and dedicated time. That's why I prioritise ze creating a warm and supportive environment where you can truly shine. During our sessions, I take the time to understand your story, personality and unique qualities. With my coaching and guidance, every shot reflects your authentic beauty and captures the essence of your character. Trust me, together we'll create stunning, soulful images that showcase your unique charm and personality.
As a passionate foodie, photographer and animal lover, I believe that living sustainably is not only important for the planet and its inhabitants, but also brings joy and fulfillment to our lives. My mission is to inspire others to join me in this journey. After all, we have only one world – let's make it a better place, together!
I find joy in connecting people together, spending time with my family and animals, dancing tango, cooking delicious and seasonal meals, supporting sustainable farms and local businesses.

Avieta is a wonderful woman and a very talented photographer. I was looking for new photos for my business that would really capture the essence and would go beyond a standard branding shoot. Avieta really made that happen! She takes the time to get to know you and your business and makes you feel very comfortable through the shoot so that you can really shine on your photos. It was great teamwork and I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for unique and beautiful photos. As a bonus I got to see some amazing locations in Ibiza as well!
