I've walked the path you're on now, facing the challenges of being a novice model and, later, a bride. The initial struggles were real—I felt far from special, lacking confidence in my modeling journey. Language barriers added another layer of difficulty, making me shake in front of cameras, unable to convey what I truly wanted.
Learning to overcome these hurdles while staying true to myself was a journey of self-discovery. It wasn't a quick process; it took over 11 years of traveling as a model, building connections, and working in various capacities, from TV to catalogs and shows. The culmination of this journey was my wedding in July 2023.
Planning the wedding wasn't without its share of challenges. Complexities arising from geopolitical tensions restricted guest invites, and last-minute cancellations disrupted our meticulously organized day in France. Despite these hurdles, I faced the weather with a warm dress in 35°C, realizing the importance of perfecting every detail.
My wedding photographer, though talented, faced language barriers that hindered communication. The complexities of organizing a wedding, coupled with the challenges we encountered, made me keenly aware of the need for support and guidance on such significant occasions.
Now, drawing from my personal experiences, I've made it my mission to be that guiding presence for others. Whether you're taking your first steps in modeling or planning your wedding, I'm here to ensure your journey is smoother, making your special day truly perfect.

What Makes Me Different
Hey, it's Alina. I've been on this crazy journey that's seen me grace stages, magazines, and even represent stunning bridal brands. But, let's be real, it hasn't always been a walk in the park. I picked up a tried-and-true mindset from my old man, who used to say we're all just looking for a place to be useful. Well, I found mine, and I'm grateful for the experiences that led me here.
My creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, gift of knowledge, and emphasis on practicality make my coaching approach truly unique.
My curiosity, attention to detail, and considerate perfectionism ensure that everything is not just perfect but authentically tailored to you.
My focus on making things happen is evident in my action-oriented, practical, and useful initiatives, whether it's perfecting elegant posing or tackling anything else.
But beyond my expertise, my connecting abilities shine. Making introductions, fostering inclusivity, and positively challenging others reflect my strong communication skills – honest, transparent, and caring.
So, ready to embark on this journey of self-expression? Let's make it a transformative and picture-perfect experience together!

My Coaching Style
In my approach, I'm not an agency or a modeling school; rather, I prefer to dive in directly and discover your unique abilities. I firmly believe that everyone is special, particularly children who possess a pure intelligence before they grow up. It's a pristine form of knowing what they want, requiring only guidance on how to express it. Now, let's break down the process into steps:
Step 1: Personalized Pre-Shoot Preparations
In this initial phase, we embark on collaborative groundwork, offering options like a personality test or even delving into astrology to understand the unique personality i'm working with. We set up a video call, brainstorm creative concepts, and meticulously style outfits for a tailored photoshoot experience. Every three months, we adapt the style to showcase growth, ensuring three distinct photoshoots with nine different outfits over the 9-month period, especially recognizing the rapid changes in children.
Step 2: Expressive and Creative Photoshoot
During the actual photoshoot, we depart from the ordinary. It's an immersive experience where we play with different emotions, fostering genuine and authentic expressions. Engaging in relaxed conversations, setting the mood with music, and jointly exploring styling creates a unique atmosphere. You're encouraged to choose your emotions, and breaks for children to play enhance the authenticity of every captured moment.
Step 3: Post-Shoot Portfolio Curation
Following the photoshoot, we transition to a week-long period dedicated to curating the initial portfolio. This involves selecting the most compelling images and crafting a portfolio that captures the essence of your unique journey, reflecting the growth and change throughout the 9-month experience. Once this creative portfolio is in your hands, it's yours to keep and share with any agency you desire, empowering you with the freedom to explore various opportunities.
Additionally, if you prefer a more hands-off approach, I can take the initiative to send it directly to potential brands. The portfolio serves as a powerful tool in initiating conversations with agencies or brands, marking the beginning of exciting possibilities for your creative journey.
Step 4: Beyond the 9-Month Package
As the 9-month package concludes, we take a bold step forward. This involves sending a comprehensive portfolio to potential brands and initiating discussions about a unique proposition – the possibility of me becoming your agent. A mutually beneficial contract, with a 10% commission, solidifies this collaborative venture. Remember, I'm not an agency or a modeling school; I prefer to dive in directly and discover your abilities. I believe that everyone, especially children, possesses a pure intelligence that needs only guidance to shine through.
