MY APPROACH

FAMILY STORIES

I am passionate about capturing real, messy, and joyful moments, especially in family sessions. It's vital for me to create a relaxed environment where every family can be themselves, regardless of their background. 

​

I'm all about capturing happiness and fun, regardless of sexuality, nationality, religion, or food preferences. If you're happy and love a good laugh, we're going to create some fantastic memories together! My goal is to celebrate and document the beautiful, authentic chaos of your life whatever it looks like.

 

Understanding that each family is unique, I tailor every session to meet your specific needs and preferences. Whether you wish to select the photos yourself or leave it to me, your comfort and satisfaction are paramount. We will discuss your privacy needs to ensure the session meets your expectations.

 

I prioritize quality over time, focusing on capturing the essence and joy of your moments with patience and attention to detail. We'll take the time needed to achieve the best results, ensuring the photographs resonate deeply with you.

 

If my approach resonates with you, please explore my packages and let's discuss how we can collaborate to beautifully document your family's unique story, capturing the essence of your life with authenticity and care.

PRIVACY

Every family and every parent is unique. 

While a lot of families enjoy celebrating and sharing their photos online, others choose to only share them with close friends or family members due to multiple reasons.

​

All of my packages include full privacy of your photos. 

​

Final galleries are sent via password protected gallery and I will not share any of your photos online without a previously written concent.

​

that said, 

I will grant you a generous discount for a social media release and even a better one for Stocksy united

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

This list of frequently asked questions is not aimed to replace a personal conversation about your plans, but to provide initial answers, perhaps to questions you have not thought of yet. We will then discuss everything else over a phone chat or a cup of tea.

 

How do we book a photo session? 

Please contact me with your planned dates, location and preliminary schedule. If I have time, I will schedule an appointment with you soon so we can get to know each other and discuss further details, either in person or via Zoom or a phone call. To book an appointment, I will ask for a 20% deposit and we will sign a contract.

 

Will you be traveling or working only in Berlin? 

I would be happy to travel anywhere in Europe you like. The only additional costs would be my transportation and lodging.

​

How far in advance should we book? 

Well, that depends on your event date. Between May and September, Saturdays are usually booked up far in advance. On weekdays or in the off-season, I may be available on shorter notice. Just ask!
