THIS IS FOR YOU AND YOUR LEGACY

Maternity

You’re a first time mama and would love to capture this ecxiting new chapter? I got you.

Motherhood

Capture that special bond between you and your chidren in a motherhood and/or breastfeeding session.

Family

For the Families who want to stroll through the fields with me and capture the essence of their story.

WHAT AWAITS YOU


These sessions are for you if you’re looking for a laidback approach. We’ll stroll through the fields, play in the mud and you will snuggle with your children as if nobody’s watching. I want you to feel comfortable and let go all while I’m capturing your most authentic moments. The beautiful, the crazy and the intimate.

You feel awkward in front of a camera? Yeah, me too, but don’t you worry, I got you. My approach is very casual and includes a lot of action prompts so you’ll forget there is even a camera. I will direct you into genuine poses that feel natural and absolutely zero cheesing at the camera necessary.


What you can expect:

  • Guidance through the entire session

  • Fun and memorable experience

  • Your moments being exquisitely captured

To be able to fully commit myself to your experience, I only take on a limited amount of sessions per month and I only offer my service to likeminded people who share similar values and love my work for the essence of it.

 

AUTHENTIC IMAGERY

Come on an adventure with me. Let go, dream big and live your best life. I will manifest your story in poetic photographs.
I want to capture your essence. All the beauty, craziness and sweetness that makes it real. All I’ll be asking for is for you to trust me and to be ready for embracing the moment. It’s my highest priority to make you feel comfortable and be yourself. I’d love to show you the beauty of everything that you are.

MINDSET

Feeling all the good vibes for one another is going to come across in your photos; therefore, expectation setting is key. If you’re looking for those dreamy and carefree photos, please communicate your vision with everyone involved in your session - being on the same page about expectations is absolutely crucial. You will see most of my images show people interacting with each other, sharing an intimate moment or just fully embracing themselves. Only very few photos are smiling into the camera - meaning you should expect to also fully be in the moment during your photo session - basically pretend I’m not even there.

So get ready to:

  • Be yourself

  • Be open-minded

  • Be present an have fun

Please know that your kiddos can’t do any wrong during your session - in fact, I usually love to let them roam free and we’ll go with their mood. I want this to be a fun and stress free experience for everyone to enjoy. Make your photo session the big event for the day and let me take care of the rest.

YOUR INVESTMENT

Something as personal and unique as having your photographs taken is surely not an everyday thing. The resulting portraits should be considered not as an expense, but as an investment.


In our modern world of selfies, you might be asking… why on earth would I hire a photographer to do something I can just do myself?

Creating, capturing and preserving meaningful moments reminds us of our love for one another. I hate to break it to you, but we all won’t be here forever. Your children (and grandchildren!) are going to want to look back at beautiful photos in the future, and reminisce about shared memories. Make those moments count by being present, fully embracing them and letting me take care of the rest.
