About the Photographer

Based in Lippstadt, I photograph families with a heartfelt, natural approach aimed at preserving the small, meaningful moments that become treasured memories. As a mother myself, I understand how fast life changes and why honest, emotion-driven photography matters. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive: I prefer creating movement, laughter and real interactions over stiff poses, whether we shoot outdoors in soft evening light or at home during a cozy Homestory. Why choose me? I bring patience, practical guidance and a calm presence to every session. I offer preparation tips (including a clothing guide), work with music and playful prompts to soothe little ones, and help partners feel comfortable in front of the camera. My goal is always to capture your family’s personality — intimate newborn cuddles, the glow of pregnancy, candid family walks, or the honest moments of a wedding day. My main focus includes family photography, maternity and newborn Homestories, and wedding coverage. Maternity sessions work best around weeks 32–36, and newborn Homestories often shine within the first two weeks of life. For weddings I aim to document the authentic emotions and unguarded moments that tell your unique story. The process is simple: get in touch for an initial talk, receive planning support and a session guide, enjoy a relaxed shoot, and then choose the images that will become lasting keepsakes. If you’re in Lippstadt or the surrounding area and want a warm, experienced photographer to capture your family’s milestones, I’d love to hear from you.
