Children photography - Munich
Children photographer
They will never be this version of themselves again. That is who I photograph.
English-speaking children photographer in Munich, working in English with international families, making natural portraits of children at home and outdoors. These sessions are about the child rather than the whole family: how they move, what they are interested in, and what they look like when nobody is asking them to hold still.
I do not believe in unphotogenic people. I believe in rushed sessions, poor light and no preparation.
Children are never the problem. The problem is a photographer in a hurry.
Children's portraits in Munich
Photographed, not arranged
Children who are bribed into smiling look bribed. I give them something to do instead: a game, a place to run, a question they want to answer. The photographs come out of what happens next.
At home or outdoors
At home, in their own room, among their own things - or outside along the Isar, in the Englischer Garten, in the woods around Munich. Younger children usually settle faster at home; from about four or five, outdoors tends to work better because there is more to do.

Auf Deutsch
Kinderfotografie in München
Natürliche Kinderfotos in München - zu Hause, im Englischen Garten, an der Isar oder in den Wäldern rund um die Stadt. Kein Lächeln auf Kommando: Kinder werden im Spiel fotografiert, nicht in Position gebracht.

Ein Shooting kostet 600 Euro und dauert in der Regel anderthalb bis zwei Stunden. Der Termin wird mit einer Anzahlung von 50 Euro reserviert, die mit der Schlussrechnung verrechnet wird.
