I am a mom, an animal lover, a coffee drinker, and I am addicted to nature. I grew up in East Germany where things were “grey,” yet I was raised by an amazing and very loving family in the countryside. It shaped me into who I am today. I love color, freedom and opportunities. I love happiness and nature, with all it brings — from exciting thunderstorms to amazing sunsets, hiking, or just letting my kids play and get dirty.

Travel and adventure are big part of my life. I came to the United States in 1997, with a plan to explore the freedom of America. My educational path led me to be a surgical Physician Assistant, but my interests led me to photography. I was able to help people, and enjoy my passion as well. I did not truly discover my photographic style until I moved to Hawaii and became a stay-at-home mom — when I also learned the precious early years pass way too fast and must be captured. I like to find vibrant, playful locations, to capture light, emotions, and candid moments.

So, here I am! If you like my style, let me take you and your family to some amazing places in the Los Angeles area, to soak in the last sun rays of the day, and to capture your personal memories for you to keep forever. It is going to be fun!
