Family Photography Berlin | Angi + Stefan + Lucian + Justus

Sometimes photoshoots just happen… You meet a girlfriend for a coffee, then Mr. boyfriend shows up with the kids, the sun just starts to disappear on the horizont, the creamy golden light illuminates our faces… its moments like these that I’m happy that I carry my real heavy camera with me all the time! ;) I captured this beautiful spring afternoon in Berlin last week, with two of the cutest and most modelesque kids out there!

Photographing kids can be hard, they get bored quickly and I only have so many funny faces to make them laugh, but these two were actually enjoying posing and fooling around for the camera and it shows!!! Thanks lil monsters for working it for me! ;) You are superstars!

P.S: Have you recognized gorgeous momma Angi from this previous lifestyle shoot? ;)

Sneak Peek: Boys Just Wanna Have Fun | Family Photography Berlin

Gorgeous Couples Wanted!

Hello March, Hello lovely blog readers!

I have been super inspired lately, which means that I have about a dozen photoshoot ideas for wedding portrait and bridal shoots brewing in my head. While I wait for wedding season to roll around, I decided to just make some of these dream shoots come to live aaaaand…. I also decided to cast you! yes you! as my model for the shoot! ;) What I’m looking for is married couples who already had their wedding, hence they have wedding attires (that they fit into ;) ) but would love to get a few more creative shots and more mileage out of their dresses. I primarily look for couples, but if you just cannot convince your hubby to get in front of the camera, no worries, I’m scheduling a few unique bridal portraits as well!

What you need to do is to send me a photo of you & your hubby (preferably from your wedding) and tell me why you want to get in front of my lens. If you’re a big dreamer like me and you have your own ideas for a shoot, feel free to elaborate on those as well!

  • If you’re chosen, you’ll be gifted an awesome 1,5 hour photo shoot with me! ;) You will also receive about 15 – 20 fully retouched, high resolution images on a disc as a present.
  • The shoots will take place in Barcelona, Berlin and Budapest during the course of March, April and May 2012, so you do need to be in one of these three cities at the time of the shoot.
  • The images could be used for En Route promotional purposes and will be shared on my website, blog, facebook… etc.

We’ll have tons of fun and beautiful beautiful shots I promise! I’m thinking urban wanderings, picnics on poppy fields, forest adventures, vineyard sunsets, beach lounging, horseback riding and many many more! ;)

So what are you waiting for? Spread the word, tell your friends and send me an email pronto otherwise you might miss your chance! ;) I’m really excited to get this project going!

Keep Calm and Yoga On

You might recognize Petra from last week’s family session where I snapped her with her adorable kids. What you probably didn’t know that Petra is not only a fierce mommy but also a yoga teacher! She asked me to snap a few pictures for her soon to launch website and I was more than delighted to capture her in some pretty body twisting poses. To tell you the honest truth I’m not a big fan of yoga… I love the idea of calming my mind while working my body and search that balance inside that we all crave so much, but I just can’t do it. Every time I go to a yoga session (and I’ve tried in many different studios in 3 different countries…) I feel like I have wasted my time I could have done some serious workout instead. I know I know yoga can be hard workout and its a fantastic form of exercise, but it’s just not my cup of tea (unfortunately) and I’ve accepted that I’m not becoming a yogi any time soon! For now I just stick to my high intensity spin, kickboxing and weight lifting classes and keep giving yoga another chance every once in a while. :) Maybe one day…

Family Shoot in Berlin | Petra + Ben + Princess Ava

I’m not gonna lie… photographing kids is hard work!!!! It’s almost like running a half marathon or performing a circus clown act, but when you manage to put those sweet milky smiles on their cute little faces its so totally worth it! And if the clown act doesnt work… comes the bribing! Sweets, toys… whatever works! :D I met Petra and her beautiful blue eyed, angel haired little munchkins in Berlin for a little family session. We had lots of fun, ate too much sweets and ended up with some supercute pictures of these three! Look at those eyes! Look at those smiles!!! I kind of reserved Ben for my future daughter already! :) He is gonna be such a Casanova! And Ava? She is just the cutest doll ever! Congrats Petra for bringing such wonderful kids to this world, it was so lovely to meet you. See you soon! ;)
