Frequently Asked Questions

BEFORE THE SHOOT

• What kind of shoots do you offer?

  I specialise in weddings, couple shoots and family sessions (including maternity and newborn sessions) and portraits (including sensual boudoir portraits). Furthermore I offer business portraits for commercial clients.

  Take a look around my portfolio to get an impression of my work.

• How can we book a shoot with you?

  Please contact me via the contact form, so we can make an appointment and talk about what you want. Please allow at least 2-3 weeks lead time to find a suitable date.

  You can book regular shoots from Monday to Friday with me. During the off-season (Oct - Apr), weekend sessions are also possible on Saturdays.

• Where do we shoot?

  For me, nature is the most beautiful and versatile backdrop, where I can get creative, so I don't own a classical photo studio.

  I prefer taking photos at forests, on fields or at lakes and I can recommend lots of locations here (35759) from my repertoire.

  If you wish, I can also shoot you at a different location (I charge 0.50€/km).For Boudoir sessions I offer a neturally coloured indoor location (35759) for you.

• How much is a shoot?

  The investment varies depending on the different standard packages (starting at 210€) and special packages you can choose from.

  The packages vary concerning duration and the amount of images being delivered so that there's something for everyone.

  The bigger packages include printed goodies such as photo albums .

  Please see the Prices for all information.

• When is the best time to do a maternity session?

  A maternity session is best, when the baby belly already shows quite well, while it's still "safe" - not too close to the estimated date of birth. I recommend shooting between week 33 - 36 . Please contact me as soon as possible during your pregnancy.

DURING THE SHOOT

• What happens when the weather's bad at our estimated date?

  If the weather is bad and the date we set, we will simply find a different date for the shoot, without any further costs for you.

• What's the procedure during our shoot?

  One day before the shoot (at the latest), I will send you a contract (PDF) via e-mail, in which all the details are documented.

  We meet at the appointed location or at my address. You should plan with 30 - 90 min shooting timedepending on your chosen package.

  You've never done this before, so you're a bit insecure in front of the camera? I got you! During the shoot, I will provide you with guidance of posing.The most beautiful images are created when I can capture authentic moments.

  I always value a relaxed and positive atmosphere and that both parties are on the same page.

• Which outfit + styling should be choose?

  Clothing plays a very big role for a coherent outcome. I always recommend natural textures and bright and neutral colours . Don't wear garish colours and wild patterns / prints / logos. Please feel free to check out my pinterest moodboard  for inspiration.

  Of course, you can send me photos of your outfits beforehand, I'd love to give advice.

AFTER THE SHOOT

• How many images do we get?

  Depending on the booked package, the amount of images varies between 20 to 70+,that are being delivered afterwards.

• How are the final images chosen?

  During the shoot, I usually show you the images directly on the camera display, so that you maybe even spot some favourites.

  After the shoot, I will send you an online galery where you can choose your favourites easily (some packages include ALL images so you don't have to choose).

• How and when do we get the images?

  The images chosen by you are delivered after the payment right in your online galery. You can download the images via a PIN. Please allow 7 to 14 days for the editing process to be completed.

  The images are delivered in high resolution and without a watermark for private use. You exclusively get edited images (no RAWs)..

• How can we pay?

  After the shoot, you get an e-mail with the invoice (PDF) so that you can pay via bank transfer .

  I don't accept cash payment.

• Will the images be published?

  I love to show my recent work on my website and on social media.

  In case you don't want your images to be published, that's no problem at all.

  However, if you're okay with your images being published, a publication discount of 25% will be applied to the package you booked (for more info, see "prices").

• Can we publish the images? What do we have to consider?

  Of course! I'm always happy when my clients are happy with the outcome and show their pictures - please make sure to credit me when you do :).

  You get a private usage right, which means you're allowed to use the images solely for private purposes. In case you're interested in commercial usage (for example for your website), feel free to contact me for prices. The copyright remains with me.

  You're not allowed to edit the images any further - that also includes filters on social media.
