As a mother of two (girl and boy) I really know what my clients are looking for, when choosing a professional baby-photographer. I'm striving to make every single photo of their kids a special one, that they will charish forever. I like outdoor maternity shootings in the woods or at the lake, bright colours, wildflowers and every single one of my little models.

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.
Milestone sessions - oh how I love them. This shot is my favourite one of the birthday photoshoot from this little girl. We had a funny cakesmash in a flowery field and went on with some splash photos on our way back. They really turned out more than well because was so damn cute.
Cakesmash Sessions are one of my favourites. Because at this age, kids aldeady show a lot of personality. I always do a splash bath action shooting afterwards, which they really enjoy.
This is a picture I took when shooting a home story. While the parents were preparing their picnic setting in their backyard, I took the chance for some one-to-one shots with their two kids alone and got very nice ones.
One of the most important lessons I've learned through all the years of maternity photography: you have not only to be a good Photographer with All that technical skills but also sort of a guide for your models. In order to receive TRUE emotions, I became one of those photographers who constantly chat with their clients, make funny or even crazy or stupid things to make them laugh. But hey: if it's worth it, so what? Like with this couple: soon-to-be-dad told me before our session, that he is a bit shy in front of the camera. But with sympathy and the RIGHT feeling for what to say when, we got a ton of stunning couple shots like this one.
Another wonderful breastfeeding moment in my studio: This cute girl was the funniest little client I had in a breastfeeding-shooting so far. She was interacting with me and the camera all the time. I immediately fell in love with her smile! One of my favorite pictures of the shooting year!
