Autumn or late summer light is the best! It simply underlines the mom-to-be "glow" which I'm so in love with. And this stunning mom rocked her babybelly shooting, I tell you - she was gorgeous!

When regular customers come to me, it's always something special. When the little ones really enjoy their birthday shoot, that's the best thing for me. Thank you for letting me share this moment with the world.

The strength of breastfeeding moms it's so inspiring to me. That's why I love to shoot such special moments. And I couldn't be happier, having HER in front of my camera. Thank YOU so much for sharing this with the world out there.

The beauty of a mom to be - the joy, the anticipation, the "glow": all in this one and only picture! It was the last pic of the day and I already knew, this image has something special. Thank you so much!

Having a newborn baby client is always a little surprise for me. This time I was lucky having such a cute little girl with great hair in my studio. She was adorable, we did behind the scenes, wrapping tutorials and even a short video during her newborn session and she just slept.

This is where my breastfeeding photo journey all began: my very first breastfeeding mom and her sweet child. We went outdoors into the forest, searching for a magical place and found this old ruins of an ancient castle. A gorgeous scene for a gorgeous woman. From this time on, I knew that I wanted to capture moments like this for all my clients and became known for my breastfeeding pictures. Thank you so much!

This picture is one of a whole series I dedicated to my daughter. It's called "It's a sick world. Quo vadis Terra Mater?" I would like to raise awareness for the huge plastic (waste) problem we have. Hopefully I can change at lease some peoples point of view...

Creating new life is magic, right? This is what I would love to show with this beautiful picture of a good client of mine. I know her as a very strong person, a loving mom, who has been to much... Creating this magical and dreamy picture for her, was a pleasure for me because she really deserves it.

I call this image "the magic of my childhood christmas". Christmas Minisessions have a very long tradition in my studio history. I shoot x-mas sessions ever since the first clients asked me for and I'm obsessed with them. For the past two years I've been doing them in early October already, since you never know these times... and all my clients are totally thankful for that. The pictures I take every year of my little clients have become a huge family event for them. That's what makes them so special. I can see "my" clients growing up which is also wonderful. So, I could never be wihtout my x-mas minis, even though it's kind of exhausting sometimes shooting almost 100 families in this short time. But receiving so much positive feedback or seeing their christmas cards, makes it all worth.

I had such a great time shooting this gorgeous mom to be. Poses like this one don't just "happen". It's me guiding my clients, making them feel comfortable in my presence so that they can be 100% them. My model chose this location, because she had spent a lot of time in this forest while being pregnant. So the place itself had a special meaning for her. This and my connection with her, made this picture so perfect.
