It’s likely your baby will cry a little (or a lot) — and it’s completely ok. That’s just part of this season. I’ve got kids myself, so nothing that happens during our session will surprise me. 

My sessions are slow and flexible, and allow space for all kinds of emotions. Comforting your baby after they cry is a beautiful thing to document. And just in case things get difficult for you and your little one, I always keep extra buffer time for newborn photography, so we can take a break any time. 

That’s completely normal — especially in this tender, in-between season after birth. Being in front of the camera can feel a little awkward at the beginning. But I find this feeling fades quickly, because caring for your baby is such a natural, absorbing thing.

I shoot on film, which means no constant clicking and no rush. The process is slower, quieter — with plenty of space for breaks. I’ll gently guide you when it helps, but I’m also very tuned in: if you feel like chatting about our motherhood experiences, we’ll do that; if you’d rather have some quiet, I’ll match your pace.

This isn’t about creating a perfect picture. It’s about giving you the space to show up as you are — tired, emotional, joyful, or all of those things.

It depends on how you want your story captured.

If want to document that hazy, sleepy newborn feel, the first two weeks are ideal. But I don’t believe there’s a “too late.” Older babies are more alert, and the images reflect the growing connection between you and your child.

We can even capture your very first hours together in a Fresh 48 session — I’ll come to the hospital, birth house, or your home within the first 48 hours after birth. It’s raw, emotional, and beautifully real.

If you’re still pregnant, I’ll reserve time in my calendar around your due date. Once your baby arrives, just send me a message, and we’ll schedule the session for when it feels right.

Absolutely. These sessions are for the whole family, and I always make space for older siblings to be part of the story.

I take time to connect with them — to make sure they feel seen, not just as the “big sibling,” but as themselves. I follow their pace, whether they want to stay close to you or go play in the background.

If you have more than one child, the Day Together long-form session can be especially lovely — it gives us time to tune into your family dynamic and include everyone naturally.

From the outside, not much changes. You don’t have to do anything differently, and you’ll still receive your images as high-resolution digital files.

But the energy of the session is different. Because I shoot slowly and intentionally, I am able to be more present — and it often helps you feel more grounded too.

One thing that matters more with film is light. Film needs lots of light, so we’ll plan your session for the time of day when the light is best in your home — especially important on grey Berlin days.

You don’t need to worry about the technical side — that’s on me. All you need to do is show up, and I’ll take care of the rest.
