Hiya!

I’m Eszter, a Bristol-based photographer who loves family and fun and captures genuine, heartwarming moments that make life real. I grew up in a family where honesty isn’t just the best policy—it’s practically a sport! When I moved to the UK, I had to leave behind my five cats (who are probably organizing a full-scale rebellion by now), but that’s just part of the wild ride!

My photography approach is about breaking the boundaries and keeping things real. I’m not a fan of horror movies (nope, not for me!), and common sense sometimes escapes me, but that’s where the fun comes in. And let’s not forget turquoise—it’s not just my favourite colour; it’s practically my signature!

With a background in photojournalism, I’m all about finding beauty in the chaos and capturing life’s most authentic, unscripted moments. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s family-oriented, loves to laugh, and can see the magic in life’s little messes, let’s chat!

A Heartfelt Promise

She is an amazing family photographer, and we had the loveliest time during our newborn baby photography session. Eszter came to our home, bringing with her an abundance of patience and understanding, which is no small feat with a newborn and a lively six-year-old sister. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Eszter to everyone. We absolutely love our pictures and the joy they bring us every time we look at them.
