Mini Session

210 €

A short session at home or outdoors, for a family, a couple, a child, or just you.

The approach is the same as in a longer session: no posing, no rushing. I photograph you in your own place, or somewhere nearby, the way you are.

A good place to start if you haven’t been photographed before and would rather begin with something small.

Includes:

  • 1 hour
  • Outfit recommendations
  • 10 edited photos
  • Ready in 14 days
  • Private online gallery

Families & Couples

300 €

What matters most to me is that you’re comfortable during the session. No rushing, no pressure, no need to hold a pose the whole time.

I’d rather catch the touches, the laughing and the looks between you than arrange them: the small things that belong to you and nobody else.

I’ve worked with a lot of different families and couples, and I know how to put people at ease. We spend the time together and I photograph you as you are.

Includes:

  • 1–2 hours
  • Outfit recommendations
  • 50 edited photos
  • Ready in 14 days
  • Private online gallery

Birth Photography

800 €

The day your child is born stays with your family for good. I want to keep more than the moment your baby arrives: the waiting, the touches, the looks between you, the people holding you up, and the mood of those hours, which no later day can recreate.

I work quietly. I don’t step into what’s happening, and I won’t ask you to pose or do anything again for the camera. You go through your day; I watch closely and keep it the way it actually was.

This isn’t about perfect frames. It’s your story — the strength, the nerves, the tenderness, and the first minutes of meeting your baby.

Years from now you’ll look at these and get back parts of the day you’d stopped remembering.

Includes:

  • On call for you from week 38 until the baby arrives
  • 100 edited photos
  • A short film of the birth
  • Ready in 14 days
  • Private online gallery

Good to know

When and how do I pay?

I’ll send you an invoice after the session. Venue rental fees and entrance tickets are paid separately by you.

How long until I get my photos?

Editing takes up to two weeks. Your photos arrive in a private online gallery and stay there for three months.

What exactly do I receive?

I choose which photos get edited. Files are JPEGs, 4000 px on the long side at 300 dpi — if you need them larger, tell me in advance. RAW files are part of how I work and aren’t shared.

Will my photos end up on your Instagram?

Only if you agree to it, and saying no changes nothing else. Your photos are yours to print, share and post as you like — just ask me first about commercial use
