For me, this picture represents all the incredibly strong women out there. For all the mums who fight every day for the sake of their children. Who have to be strong, even though they may despair inside. Don't give up!

A truly natural bond. We had a very quick breastfeeding shooting on a very hot summer day. The light was just magical and the pictures turend out so nice. This is why i truly love these photo moments of a mother and her breastfeeding child. No matter at what age.

The ultimate bond. This picture describes the intimate power of breastfeeding for me. Pure, elegant, simple. Many thanks to my clients, who let me share this picture with the world.

One of the locations I love most... because of the light! This mom to be had an amazing sunny evening with me out there. Thanks for having me.

I absolutely love this colour combination for little boys: it's so timeless and chic.

How I like these little smiles during my newborn sessions. They happen mostly right after a good breathfeeding session. That's why I pay particular attention to the pictures we create afterwards.

My customers really love the large boho bed in the new studio. Not only relaxed pregnancy photos are taken here, but also my “just you” portraits, which I recently introduced to all my clients who want to get some very special portraits of themselves as a mother.

I tried a new lighting setup in my new studio and my clients liked it a lot. Pure, elegant and minimalistic.

I absolutely love Christmas minisessions! Thanks to all my adorable families, who joined me at the studio this year.

This year's Christmas shoots were magical in the truest sense of the word. I had 4 wonderful settings set up in the new photo studio. Guess what the kids had the most fun with? The photos in the kitchen and baking biscuits, of course!

My clients know, I love cakesmash sessions. And yes! I really do. Less is more is my credo when it comes to decoration. I mean look at them! These gorgeous little girls - it's their smile that has to be captured forever. Nothing else.

There are some locations in my town that I really like... this is one of them. The sunset here is magical and makes every mom to be even more "glowing".

This photo was taken during one of my mum and me mini sessions. The family had their dog with them and I always take this opportunity for a souvenir photo. A four-legged friend is something very special for kids.

It often takes so little for a beautiful, atmospheric photo. And that's the proof. Many clients think they always need the picture perfect location with as much trappings as possible. But usually it's the opposite.

This picture was taken at the end of a baby bump shoot. Unfortunately, we weren't lucky with the weather that day: it was cloudy and rainy. My clients were just about to get into the car when I saw that the clouds briefly cleared and a beautiful light flooded the forest path. We took advantage of the brief window of sunshine and got totally spontaneous, vibrant images full of joy. I love every single one of them. Thank you for this award.

Pictures with siblings are so important to me and to my clients. That's why I like to shoot them outdoor, especially with young kids around. What a lovely moment!
