Hi! Thanks for your interest in my work.
I work fast but with care. It’s easy for me to connect with people—I know how to stay close without getting in the way. I’m often told that after a shoot, there’s a warm feeling left behind, like after a good, heartfelt conversation.
Why choose me?
– No drama. It’s all about you in the frame—a real person, not a magazine pose.
– No stress. I know what I’m doing. You don’t need to “prepare” or “know how to pose.” Just come as you are and let yourself trust the process.
– No long waits. You’ll get your photos within 2 to 5 days.
I shoot portraits, love stories, family sessions, maternity, and small intimate events—anything that’s about people and emotion.
I work mindfully, clearly, quickly, and with heart.

🗓 1 day | 5–6 hours (including 2 hours of in-studio practice)
1. Introduction & Conversation
A warm start to the day.
About myself, my path, and my approach.
How to shoot without a script.
About trust, energy, body language, and the power of pause.
2. Composition & Depth
How not to hide — but reveal.
A frame as a dialogue: what we see and feel in another person.
Creating an atmosphere of openness and trust.
This is not dry theory — we’ll go through real, practical tools:
Working with space and air, light and layers, lines, stillness and rhythm.

🖼 You’ll see my entire shooting process — from beginning to end.
You’ll also have a chance to shoot — with any camera, even your phone.
5. Selection & Post-Processing
I’ll show you how I choose final images, build color, and create black-and-white.
A simplified approach to retouching — no over-editing, just real and alive.
I upload, select, and deliver images via my website.
We’ll go through:
- Capture One workflow
- Color grading, B& W, framing
- Clean, minimal editing that preserves soul
6. Final Talk: Q& A
We’ll close with a heartfelt discussion.
If you’d like, bring a few of your photos — we’ll review them together.

✨ We’ll end with a cozy table, candles, and a glass of wine.
