Ingeborg + Erwin | Barcelona Love Session

The date of our love session with Ingeborg and Erwin almost coincided with their 10 year anniversary together! 10 YEARS! I know, looking at these two it’s hard to believe they’ve been together for so long, but it was lovely to see how gushy and cuddly they were all the way even after so much time.

I met the two Dutchies on my beach boot camp class and let me tell you… they are hard core!!!! :) It’s always such a treat meeting people from my class in the “real word” not covered in sweat and sand (remember our trainer Andy?)! Talking about Dutchies it was evident that they would bring their bikes and I made a small happy dance when I saw Dinges, their adorable puppy in a flower basket on Inge’s bike! We wanted to have a modern take on Barceloneta, my hood, the beach and display its surroundings in a more modern light. I could not be happier with how these images turned out and I have to send lots of love to Inge + Erwin for going the extra mile and of course Dinges for behaving so well! More shoots with puppies please!!!!! :)

Lifestyle Shoot in Barcelona / JESSICA

A few weeks ago I shared some of the images Jessica shot of me on our photography play date and now it´s time I show you the photos I´ve  captured of this gorgeous lady too!

I cannot emphasize enough how awesome it is to have friends from the industry! I love this girl and I love having her with me in Barcelona to chat about lenses, timelines, websites and photography in general, not to mention that she is my perfect companion in discovering the city´s cool new coffee spots! :)  And would you please look at her awesome quirky-fresh style…..? It was sooooo much fun shooting her!!!!

Andy + Nikki | Barcelona Love Session

Having a video on my website has been a big differentiator for me in the European wedding photography circles in the last year and a half. I´ve received numerous comments from brides how they felt like they knew me after watching my short and silly introduction and how it has propelled their decision to book me for their big day. With that said, a loooot has happened since I shot  that video and I feel like it does not 100% reflect who I am anymore, so I teamed up with One Day One Song (an awesome Barcelona based wedding video company) to create a new mini promo for my website. It will be a more adult, clean, Barcelona version of me and I just CANNOT wait to see the final result!!!

I wanted to incorporate a love session in the video so I asked my friend (and fitness trainer!!! :) ) Andy and his gorgeous wife Nikki to model for me for a mini-beach shoot on Barceloneta, the place that means so much to me. I am really curious to see this segment of the video as I totally got lost in photographer mode while we were shooting and I´ll probably look like one hot mess but oh well… just keepin´it real y´all! ;)

Andy and Nikki is one of those couples that make you go awwwwwwwww… they´ve been together for over 14 years and are the proud parents of two beautiful little girls. (who would think right???) Still, after so much time they seem like they are just at the cuddle cutesy I-can´t-keep-my-hands-off-you stage of their relationship and it´s inspiring and heart warming to see such love to say the least!

Thank you guys for being awesome and rockin´our shoot! I hope you´ll love your images as much as I do!

A Wintery Budapest Lifestyle Session

Aaaand… the worst blogger of 2013 award goes to…. Ok Ok enough name calling! I might have fallen off the blogging bandwagon lately but hereby I pledge to get right back on it pronto! I have no excuses other than January turned out to be waaay busier than I’ve expected… I remember those busy summer days thinking about all the sleep and rest I’m gonna get in January… oh naive little me!

I have so much to tell, so much to share, so much to post but first let me show you a few images of my gorgeous friend Dorisz I took just before Christmas in Budapest. We’ve known each other a long time but this was the first time she got in front of my camera. Inspired by Christmas, the movie “Love Actually” and fuelled by lots of cups of hot tea. Kudos to Dorisz for baring the icy cold temperatures! Can’t wait for our follow up summer session with less freezing and more breezing! ;)

Ildi + Dima | Anniversary Session in New York

Ildi and I went to college together and apart from being friends on Facebook and hearing about each other through common friends we didn’t have too much contact since thouse wild school years. Until one day, about a year ago she sent me the sweetest email anyone has ever sent me. She told me how much she liked my photography and my courage to go for my dreams and how much she is looking forward to being photographed by my camera one day. When my plans to travel to the US formalized she was back in touch asking if I’d be willing to make a quick stop in NYC to shoot her with her husband Dima for their 5th wedding anniversary. Well… it was kind of a no brainer and took me about a second to say YES!

Ildi and Dima has the cutest, most romantic fairy tale story anyone could ever wish for. After meeting on a convention in Las Vegas they fell head over heels for each other and in a few short months they were married and Ildi moved to New York to pursue a new life with the man of her dreams. After five years they are one of those couples who make you wanna give up your single life and settle down. They are the sweetest, kindest people and I was fortunate enough to not only shoot them but enjoy their hospitality as well while I stayed in New York a few extra days to discover the city.

You guys rock and I cannot thank you enough for having me over there! LOVE YOU!!!

For their session we planned a kind of perfect Sunday visiting some of their favorite spots in Brooklyn, like the Belleville cafe, Prospect Park or the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I felt like a local looking at the city through their eyes.

Prospect Park is the work of the guy who designed Central Park. The perfect place to escape the New York summer heat.

Roaming the streets of Dumbo.

Times Square… on Ildi’s birthday! Happy Birthday again pretty woman! ;)
