Choosing what you hold onto, is an intentional way of caring
Before I pick up my camera, I start by observing and listening. I want to know your story, your rhythms, your mess, your joy.
Photography, for me, isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection.
Stuttgart family, couples and lifestyle photography
Time is a privilege we’re given. Family life is made of fleeting seconds that quietly turn into extraordinary memories: the messy breakfasts, the afternoon rituals, the sound of laughter that warms your living room even on a rainy day... These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto, because one day you’ll realize how much they mattered.
My sessions are not about posing or perfection, but about creating a time capsule of love: honest, tender and true to how it feels to be together right now.
What will the session be like?
From hello to memories
-
We’ll connect over Zoom (or over coffee in person) so I can get to know you, your family, and what you’re hoping for in your photos. If we’re a good fit, I’ll walk you through my full process, including pricing, so you’ll know exactly what to expect and receive.
-
Booking is simple: we pick a date, secure it with a first payment, and your story has its place in my calendar.
-
I’ve learned that preparation is key, and that’s why we’ll take the time to uncover all the details. Why? Because it’s the best way to understand the heart of your family and how you want your photos to feel. We’ll go over questions like what kind of wardrobe works best, where the session will take place, and, if it’s at home, what time of day offers the best light and in which rooms. In the end, it’s all about the little details.
-
I’ll be your guide, gently balancing a little direction and stepping back to let life unfold naturally in front of the lens. My approach is relaxed, leaving space for snacks, quick runs, or bursts of energy. Often, it’s in these pauses that the most genuine, heartwarming moments appear. That’s why we schedule enough time for the session, so we don’t rush past the magic and you can truly savor every second together.
-
After 2–3 weeks of careful editing, it’s time for the best part: seeing your photos come to life. We’ll meet online for a personal slideshow reveal, where you get to experience your family’s story as it unfolds frame by frame. From there, I’ll guide you in choosing the images that speak most to you, whether for a handcrafted album, artwork for your home, or keepsakes to pass down through generations. This is where your memories take shape, ready to be cherished for years to come.
-
After you’ve picked your photos and chosen an album or artwork, I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll get everything into production and, once the prints arrive, start putting your album together (this part can take around 4 weeks, depending on how many images you’ve chosen). When it’s all finished, we’ll set up a time for you to finally hold it in your hands. You’ll also get your high-resolution digital files, so your memories are safe and ready to enjoy anytime.
A little glimpse
Still have some questions?
-
The truth is, your home doesn’t need to look like a design catalog. What really matters is natural light and the love that fills your rooms. If there’s at least one window with good daylight, we can create beautiful, authentic photos right where your family feels most at ease… at home.
-
Since natural light makes all the difference, I recommend setting aside either a full morning or a relaxed afternoon for your session. Depending on the season, the most beautiful light usually falls around 10 AM or 4 PM. This way, we’ll have the time and glow we need for you to enjoy the experience and to capture the kind of images you’ll love coming back to.
-
After 14 years as a nursery teacher, I can tell you one thing with certainty: kids are simply being kids, and that’s exactly what makes the photos real and beautiful. I never expect children to sit still or behave like adults. That’s why I recommend leaving enough time for breaks, snacks and little bursts of energy. In fact, those in-between moments often lead to the most heartfelt images.
And here’s the best part: we’ll be in your home, where your kids feel most comfortable. You know them better than anyone and your calm, relaxed presence is the secret ingredient. If you can keep smiling, they’ll feel safe and the photos will reflect all of that love and connection.
-
Absolutely! Most families choose either their home, where life feels cozy and natural, or an outdoor spot, where we can make the most of fresh air and beautiful light. Think kids jumping on the couch, or holding hands on a Sunday walk. The main goal is simple: to capture you just as you are, in a place that feels right for your family. If you already have a favorite location in mind, we’ll talk it through during our first meeting.
-
For family sessions, I recommend setting aside the whole morning or afternoon. Think of it less as a timed appointment and more as a special day together. Plan something fun that everyone can look forward to, and let the session be part of it. This way, when there’s no rush, kids (and parents!) can relax and the sweetest, most natural moments have space to unfold.
-
I believe memories deserve more than just living in a cloud. That’s why I offer a full-service experience, so you walk away with something you can hold, display, and pass down, not just a link in your inbox. Together we’ll explore options like handmade albums, fine art prints, or keepsake boxes (with prints inside) as timeless ways to bring your story into your everyday life.
Of course, you can choose to invest in artwork, purchase the full set of digital files, or combine the two, whatever feels right for you.
-
Yay! I’m so excited you’re ready to book. The first step is a casual Zoom call (or an in-person chat if possible) so we can get to know each other and I can understand exactly what you need. It’s important for me that we feel like a good fit… photography works best when there’s trust and comfort. After that, we’ll go through all the session details, choose a date and location, and secure your spot with the first part of the payment. Then, it’s official! Your session is booked, and the fun begins!
