Question 1

Q: What happens if my children don’t cooperate during a photo session?

Accepted Answer

I don’t expect children to behave like adults during sessions. My approach is to create a fun and relaxed environment where children can express themselves freely. If your child is extroverted, I engage them with playful interaction to bring out their personality. I never force children to pose or follow strict instructions; instead, I focus on capturing genuine moments of your family playing, laughing, running, and enjoying games together. This way, the session reflects the true connection and joy within your family, resulting in authentic, heartfelt photographs.

Question 2

What should I wear for a photo session?

Accepted Answer

For a photo session, it's best to wear solid colors or subtle patterns that complement each other. Avoid wearing clothes with logos or busy patterns that may distract from the main focus of the photos. Check out my blog for more tips.

Question 3

When does a photo session take place?

Accepted Answer

Photo sessions can take place at various times depending on the lighting conditions and the desired atmosphere for the photos. Outdoor photo sessions are often scheduled during the golden hours, which are the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset, to capture the soft, warm light.

Question 4

Where do the photo sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

I primarily offer photography services around Zurich since I am based in Uster. However, I am also available for assignments throughout Switzerland. Some of my favorite places to photograph are: Greifensee, Rapperswil, Stein am Rhein, Appenzell, Bern, Flumserberg and Einsiedeln.  Please note that travel fees might apply for destinations beyond Zurich area. Feel free to contact me for a personalized quote and more information on how we can capture your special moments, no matter where you are in Switzerland.

Question 5

When is the best time for a newborn session?

Accepted Answer

The best time for a newborn session is within the first two weeks of the baby's life. During this time, newborns are sleepier, more flexible, and easier to pose, resulting in those adorable curled-up newborn photos. It's ideal to schedule the session between 5 to 14 days after birth.

Question 6

How will I receive my images?

Accepted Answer

Once your photos are ready, you will receive an email notification containing a link. This link will grant you access to a private online gallery where you can view and choose the respective number of images which you will receive separately via a second link in high-resolution format.

Question 7

Will I received all the photos from the gallery?

Accepted Answer

You will receive the number of photos included in your selected package. If you would like to add extra photos, feel free to add more. There is only a small editing fee of 9 Fr. per photo. I do not provide any unedited or RAW images.

Question 8

Do you charge a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

If the photoshoot doesn't take place in the Zurich area, I charge a small travel fee.
