In einer Welt, die sich gefühlt immer schneller dreht, sind Fotos eine Art Zeitmaschine: sie beamen uns zurück zu den kleinen, besonderen Momenten, als der Jüngste noch in die Armbeuge passte, und die grossen Geschwister von den kleinen Füsschen verzückt waren… Diese schönen Erinnerungen entstanden an einem warmen Spätsommer-Morgen am Zürichsee – und wärmen hoffentlich jetzt im Herbst Eure Herzen! ;) Ihr hättet gern Eure eigene Zeitmaschine? Meldet Euch bei mir, ich helfe Euch gern damit!

In a world that seems to spin faster and faster, photographs are a kind of Time Machine that can beam us back to those little, special moments when our youngest still fit into the crook of our arm, and his older siblings were totally in awe of his cute little feet… These beautiful memories were captured on a warm late-summer-morning at Lake Zurich – and now they will hopefully warm your hearts! ;) You would like to have your own Time Machine? Get in touch – I’d love to help you with that!

Hortensien sind meine absoluten Lieblingsblumen – drinnen liebe ich Schneeball-Hortensien in der Vase, und in unserem Garten liebe ich diese Rispen-Hortensien, die so wundervoll und lange blühen und ein wenig Sommer in den Herbst hinein retten. Diese Schönheit ist natürlich auch eine super Kulisse für tolle Portraits! Da ist selbst meine sonst inzwischen eher ‚foto-muffelige‘ Jüngste gern mit mir und meiner Kamera nach draussen gekommen. Und ich durfte sogar mit einem speziellen Objektiv und mit ‚free-lensing‘ (dabei hält man das Objektiv lose in einem Winkel vor die Kamera, so dass nur ein Teil des Bildes im Fokus, und der Rest verträumt unscharf ist) experimentieren. ;)
Habt Ihr auch einen schönen Garten, der eine tolle herbstliche Kulisse bietet? Meldet Euch bei mir für Eure Familien-Fotosession!

Hydrangeas are my favourite flowers – indoors I love Bigleaf Hydrangeas in a vase, outdoors I love the gorgeous Panicle Hydrangeas in our garden, which bloom so beautifully and for quite long, so they carry a bit of summer over into autumn. This beauty is obviously also a great background for portraits! And in this case, even my normally rather photo-resistant youngest was happy to oblige when I asked her to come out with me to play. And she even allowed me to play and experiment with a special lens and with ‚free-lensing‘ (holding the lens in front of the camera at an angle, so that only parts of the image are in focus, and the rest is dreamily blurred) ;)
You also have a beautiful garden which would be the perfect autumn-background? Get in touch for your family session!

Seit einem Jahr wohnen wir nun bereits wieder in Deutschland, und bisher hatte ich noch keinen einzigen Blog post geschrieben… Nun ist es aber wirklich an der Zeit, den Blog aus seinem Jahrhundertschlaf zu erwecken! Und diese Familiensession, die ich heute mit Euch teilen möchte, ist perfekt dafür – denn sie beinhaltet alles, was mir beim Fotografieren von Familien wichtig ist: viel Spass und Lachen, viel Kuscheln, und viele niedliche Details, an die wir uns später mal so gern und ein wenig wehmütig zurückerinnern…

We have been back in Germany for a year now, and I have yet to write my first Blog post… It really is time to bring this Blog back to life, it’s been a while! ;) And today I have the perfect family session for the occasion – it has all the elements that are important to me when photographing families: lots of fun and laughter, many cuddles, and a lot of cute little details that will later be remembered fondly (and a little wistfully)…

This view just doesn’t get old! Saying good-bye to friends on the other hand… At least I get to help them create some memories of their time here in Shanghai with a beautiful family photography session!

It’s this time of year again here in Shanghai… the time when many Expats start preparing for moving on / moving home in the summer, and collecting memories of their time here. And what could be better than beautiful family photographs to remember their time in Shanghai by?
This beautiful friend of mine will be dearly missed – I loved capturing these memories for her and her family. Here’s a sneak peek!

I can’t believe I never posted some more images of this gorgeous couple and their beautiful Beloved session! When their 10th anniversary was coming up, they decided to do something special – to put on their original wedding gown and tux, and take the time out to focus on each other, with me capturing some special memories for them. We even recreated their first dance: a tango to the White Stripe’s ‚Seven Nation Army‘ – how cool is that?!

Should you still be looking for the perfect X-mas-gift for your significant other, why not consider taking the time out for a couples photography session with me, so you also finally have some moments to focus only on each other and capture beautiful memories at the same time?

This gorgeous family wanted to have their family photography session at a location that would always remind them of their time in China. A temple with those typical Chinese roofs, lots of red doors, and the whole family spending a lovely morning together – I’d say mission accomplished, wouldn’t you?!

This Mom contacted me because she wanted her little boy to have some beautiful photos with his Grandpa. So we planned their family photography session for the time when Grandpa was visiting, and everyone spent a gorgeous day on the Shanghai Bund together. Here’s a sneak peek!
