Family is multitasking. A Lot of things happen at once and there is allways a lot of baggage for your trip to the playground.

Family means:”I want to do it alone. Mummy”, “I want bring my plushy, Daddy!” And a lot of “noooooo!”
And ... A strong nervous system to navigate through all of this.

Documenting Family Photo Essays means that everybody will be in the photo, but nobody has to stand still.
Just come as you are.

Family means: Living your Life. Experience. Being alive!

Family is not standing in front of a nice backdrop with matching outfits. Family is the beauty in the everyday. 🥰

This tiny they will be just for a few days.
Tiny fluffy hairs, creases - all gone after a few days. But you’re still overwhelmed and this magic just goes by in s blink.

Why should you display your child in a photostudio, If your home is the perfect frame for the new life? The warmth of your home. The place where you spend your maternal leave.

Where everybody feels good and safe. Where I can capture the atmosphere of the first time together.
Not just a baby, reduced to it’s cuteness.

Postpartum is arriving, healing and bonding. It is work for your body and mind.
You don’t haveb to leave your home. Stay in bed. I come and visit you.

Das ist Lenchen (wie meine Großeltern mich immer genannt haben)
In ihrem Lieblingskind (ich hab es immernoch).

Aus dem Tisch siehst du ihre erste Kamera. Sie hat heute einen kleinen Überbiss … Ich frag mich warum …

Beim Durchschauen ihrer Familienfotos, lernte sie Folgendes: Es geht nicht nur um die gestellten Bilder … es geht um das echte Leben! Das Drum herum, deine alte Federtasche, die Kissen auf dem Sofa deiner Tante und all das Zeug, das dein Zuhause formte.
Es geht um die Geschichten, an die sich jeder anhand dieser Bilder erinnert.
Es geht um die Erinnerung an dieses Kleid, das gejuckt hat wie Sau (und gleich nach der Einschulung ausgezogen wurde)
Dieses machen wuchs auf, um eine Fotografin zu werden und deine Erinnerungen festzuhalten. An deine, Töchter und Söhne und deine Elternschaft.
Dieses kleine Mädchen macht Bilder von deinen Kindern, ohne fremde Accessoires (denn das auf dem Foto ist nicht ihre Puppe)
Buche sie 👍😅 sie ist jetzt erwachsen, mitten in der Midlifechance, erschöpft von Mutterschaft, voller weiblicher Wut und Liebe. Und Fotografie ist ihre Sprache der Liebe!

This is your first pregnancy and you wonder what i could capture in a photo essay where no big siblings will be around to Color your belly?

It‘s easy. I look at you 🤷🏻‍♀️😊
While your breakfast - one of the last ones without a baby. I watch you decorating the babys room, fold your babys rompers or I join you while a walk.

You will look at your belly without me asking for it. You dont need a photographer for staged pictures. But I could be usefull to capture your real life moments as a pregnant Person. 🥰

I‘ll say it straight out: pregnancy photos which just show you holding your belly and your partner smiling at it … or worse … photos that just show your belly, but not your face/ head … i can‘t bear it anymore!

It‘s not just your body, that is pregnant. Your mind and your soul have the same expirience! You are more than a belly. And becoming a mom means more than getting a big belly!

That‘s why I dont just display your Body and focus on your belly. My focus is on you and your life! On the people who belong to you and all the change around you, while becoming a mom.

I mention your pregnancy without any cliche. I tell your story with all changes and all relations.

I will never miss you as a full person and the fact that you carry more than a child.

And you will allways be safe in front of my lens!

Your pregnancy Photo Essay.

And if you think, this essay just works out if you’re allready having older children, please look at my next post. I‘ll make you an essay even if you are a single person with plants and cats 😜
