Your couple shoot takes place at the location of your choice — whether Schloss Arff, KölnSKY, Wolkenburg Köln, The New Yorker HARBOUR.CLUB, Rheinloft Cologne, Rheinterrassen Köln, Seepavillon Fühlinger See and many more Cologne and NRW venues — or at your very own place. I also photograph across NRW and internationally.

When is the best time for a maternity shoot?
The ideal window is between weeks 30 and 34 of pregnancy — your bump is beautifully round and you are still mobile and full of energy for the shoot.
Can I bring my partner or an older sibling?
Yes, absolutely! A maternity shoot can also be a family shoot. Bring everyone you would like to have with you — partner, sibling or even a pet.

What is the difference between a portrait shoot and a sedcard?
A sedcard is a professional application document for model agencies or castings — with several photos showing different looks. A portrait shoot focuses on an authentic portrait — for business, social media or personal use.

How does a fashion editorial shoot work?
We discuss the concept, styling and mood board beforehand. On the shoot day we work through the planned looks — with precise composition for editorial submissions. I bring experience from over 60 of my own international magazine features.
Actors & Artists
Why does a professional actor’s portrait matter?
Your portrait is your visual calling card with agencies, casting directors and production companies. A professional, characterful image opens doors — one that shows you authentically and is technically convincing at the same time.

750 € incl. 5 edited images in the studio in Cologne — all gallery images +400 €: several looks, different lighting set-ups, characterful close-ups and full-length shots. The images are carefully retouched and delivered as high-resolution files.
