Family Home Story
Home is where the heart is. The essence of our family, and where I love to create authentic family portraits. Sessions are a mix of documentary (chaos, cuddles, and action that naturally unfolds) and fine-art (thoughtfully crated portraits that draw out emotion and storytelling). Your home story will cover it all.
I come to you with a passion for authenticity. With ideas for a creative and memorable session. And an eye for the small details that matter.
You can expect the flow of the session to feel natural, low-pressure and fun. Think laughter, comfort, and boldness. The space where you can be unapologetically you.

FAQs
Do we need to clean or prep?
No, I think the everyday details of your life at home are inspiring! Please don't stress about a mess. Growing up with 4 siblings myself I learned to embrace the chaos.
​
Should we plan matching outfits?
Not for me. Yo can if you feel for it. I have so many clients with so many different tastes. I am happy to hop on the phone with you to help you with this. We can figure out togehter what feel we want to create in this shoot. Do we want it summery or moody with many clothes,layered...Hippie bohemian or more futuristic and so on. You see there is a lot I can help you with and there is also a lot to consider and that's all part of my preparing for a session.
​​​
Could you help me with what to wear?
Absolutely! I love fashion and dressing my clients. I sometimes bring articles of clothing to incorporate into a portrait. Or, we can look at your closet together to plan something memorable.
​
How long until I get my photos?
I typically give a sneak peek within a day or two, and your full gallery is delivered within 1 week.

Maternity Session | 60-80min or 2 hours
Maternity sessions take place most of the time in an outdoor setting (60-80min or 2 hours. The longer we photograph, the more creative we can become and create beautiful scenes, play around with clothes, fabrics and moods.
​
We will create outfits together which I am good at even if I look a bit like boyscout myself. You can bring tons of your clothes and we will have loads of ideas and fun. I Love it!
Of course we will also include your partner or kids or friends. Whatever you have in mind we will discuss. Big hugs

FAQs
Do I have to get naked?
No, definitely not a requirement. There are lots of ways to celebrate the form and I am a master at finding ways, either clothed, partially clothed, or completely nude, to showcase that beautiful bump. I respect your comfort, and we can communicate openly about it during your session.

Family Photography Session | Outdoor
If you prefer an outdoor session, we will collaborate to find a spot that has character and meaning. A place that is friendly for the kids, enjoyable and memorable for you.
​
I love places that have variety; maybe some direct sun and shade. Or perhaps some buildings we can explore. Scenes that ignite the imagination are especially fun and inspiring...
​
Outdoor sessions are adventurous, and involve the senses. These are a good fit if you're not afraid to put your bare feet in the water, or snuggle with your babies in a daisy-filled patch of grass.

FAQs
Should we match?
No, the most important part for outdoor sessions is that you're dressed or an adventure. Let the kids get dirty! Bring a few cool pieces of clothing that we can play around with, try out for shots, etc. I may also bring something we can incorporate into your session.
​
What will we do during the session?
You and your family will get to play, explore, and chill. I provide guidance for what spots might provide the best composition or lighting, but we always go with the flow - especially if you have toddlers or little kids with their own ideas.
​
Tips in general?
Let your kids play, get dirty, be goofy. Don't try to make them act a certain way to get the shot. I will playfully incorporate them when the time is right, and I'll guide them as needed.
​
How long until I get my photos?
I typically give a sneak peek within two or three days , and your full gallery is delivered within 1 week.

Mini Session
I decided to open up 2 mini spots each month. I know there are more than enough families struggling right now and I want these families to be able to book. Minis are short and I can't offer the same as I offer in a long session since the time is too short but of course it's a beautiful shoot and I will give my best.
Reach out in case you can't swing a full session.
$650 (30-35 minutes), 20 high-resolution digital files included
​
Special Events - (Weddings, Birthday Parties)
​
Please contact me via the contact form on this site if you're interested in purchasing coverage for a session. If I am available, I'll provide you with a custom quote.
Analogue Film Add-on
Every shoot from above you can also book as a film session.
Shooting Film is a Philosophy. It's a special way to see the world
Pricing is the same as the digital packages noted above but we add the cost of the film.
Each roll cost 40 dollars (including the film+developing+scanning).
It is completely worth it.
I recommend for a mini at least 2-3 rolls of film.
For 60-80 min at least 4 rolls
For 2 hour session at least 6 rolls.
Of course we can shoot more! Just ask.
Reach out to me in case you want to shoot film! There is nothing more exiting to me
