Born in Tirana, Albania, Iva moved to the US at age seven. She traded a Microbiology degree from Arizona State University for a camera in NYC, building over a decade of expertise in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and brand photography, videography, and editing.
Her philosophy: photography isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Every shot should feel effortless, timeless, and true, stripping away pretense to unveil authentic confidence and natural elegance. She chases the quiet power in a glance, the subtle curve of light on skin, the unscripted laugh that reveals a deeper story.
She brought a decade of NYC experience back to Arizona, where she lives with her photographer husband and two young children.
