Creative portraiture


DREAMY, NOSTALGIC, CINEMATIC, EMOTIVE, ELEGANT, ROMANTIC, POETIC

Every individual is a piece of art: they have their unique appearance and abundant inner world of experiences, hopes, dreams, and emotions. My job is to create a comfortable space where we, by working together, can capture your uniqueness — you, your story, your outfit, your poses, and your emotions. I’ll be there to support you and guide you but the key success factor lies in you feeling comfortable, relaxed, and willing to project your artistic self to the camera.

I strive to get to know my models prior to the photoshoot day. Who are you as a person? What inspires you? — questions like these truly help me to craft a tailored concept of a creative photoshoot. At the same time, I am also very open about sharing who I am and what inspires me. For example, I find a lot of inspiration for my portraits from (mostly classical) art, cinema, and music.

I feel very privileged that many professional models, artists, actors, musicians, and writers worked on their creative portraits with me, yet you don’t necessarily have to be one of them to shoot with me. As I said earlier, I believe in everyone’s uniqueness. If you connect with my philosophy and like my work, let’s connect!

Experience for


Three simple steps to having a photoshoot with me—carefully planned and organized, so you can enjoy a seamless experience.

GETTING STARTED

After you’ve had a chance to explore my work, pricing, and conditions, you can submit an inquiry through my website. I typically respond within 24 hours. From there, we’ll schedule a complimentary 10-15 minute call (unless you would prefer to text) to discuss your vision, the details of your shoot, and any questions you may have. This call is an opportunity for me to learn more about what you’re looking for and to guide you through the next steps.

SECURING YOUR SESSION

After confirming the details, I’ll email you the contract and an invoice for the 50% retainer (both required to secure your booking). The retainer is non-refundable, as it holds your spot and covers preparation for your session. Once everything is signed and paid, we’ll dive deeper into the specifics of your shoot and prepare to bring the vision to life.

THE PHOTOSHOOT & GALLERY DELIVERY

On the day of the photoshoot, I’ll ensure you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, offering gentle guidance on posing as needed. The remaining balance is due on the day of the photoshoot. Afterward, you’ll receive a link to your online gallery with beautifully color-graded and retouched images, ready for viewing, downloading, and sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do you help clients who feel camera shy at the start of a photoshoot?

You’re not alone—many people feel this way! My approach is to take the time to chat and get comfortable with each other before diving into the shoot. We’ll talk, play your favorite music, and even take a look at how the photos are turning out on the camera screen. This helps create a relaxed, fun environment where you can be yourself and let your creativity flow.
