Work with me.

Whether you're looking to document a beautiful day of your visit in Berlin, a quiet walk through the forest, a creative process in motion, your birthday, your get-together, or any other day of your choice, I offer photography sessions that will capture your day in its uniqueness – gently, intuitively and rooted in emotion.

I work in a documentary style — no stiff poses, no perfect lighting required — just the beauty of presence and the story that’s already there.

Below you’ll find three flexible packages* that reflect the different ways we can work together. Each begins with a conversation to understand what matters to you.

* The contents of these packages are starting points — we can always adjust the timing or approach to fit what you truly need.

  • I speak fluent English, German and Arabic. And a tiiiny bit of French. I’m sure we’ll find a good way to understand each other. 😊

  • The pricing range is meant to offer you an initial estimate for whether this package fits within your budget. The final pricing will be determined after I understand more after our first contact what the scope of the session will be – in terms of time, sophistication, expectations. Afterwards, I will send you a final pricing range that you can choose what you want to pay from.

    (See “solidarity pricing” in the next question for more)

  • Solidarity pricing is a pricing approach designed with a strong social goal: it allows those who can afford to pay more to do so, thereby subsidizing lower prices for those with fewer financial resources. It's essentially a system of financial support within pricing structures where people or groups with higher incomes or greater ability to pay contribute more, helping to make services, such as this photography service, more affordable for lower-income individuals.

    What this means for you? It means that once I understand more about your wishes, expectations and the scope for your session, I will provide you with a pricing range that you can choose what you’re able to pay from now. I trust that you will make a conscious, goodhearted decision. Whatever you choose, the quality of my work will stay the same and I will give my 100% for you. You can also let me know after the session what you’d like to pay. 😊

  • My intuitive, emotion-centered photographic style relies on working with natural light/the available light at the location. I celebrate the unique lighting of each situation.

    👩‍💼 For indoor portrait sessions, I will bring a small light setup with me as a support, but it’s important not to expect a “studio-grade” light setup, when you work with me.

    🎉 For events and special occasions, I will bring a flashlight, which I will only use as support in extremely low-light settings. My main approach will still be to use the available light at the location, to capture as much of the event’s actual atmosphere as possible, while making sure the quality doesn’t suffer.

  • This means you can come as you are, and I will celebrate your raw, natural details – while I take your photos and while I edit them. I will not retouch your photos by removing your skin’s naturally occurring details, such as pimples, wrinkles, irregularities and whatnot. Unless you explicitly ask me to remove specific details, I will never do that.

    That means, if you’re looking for beautified photos, I am probably not your right photographer.

  • D&I stands for Diversity & Inclusion. That means I celebrate diversity in all its forms – whatever your gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, ethnicity, level of disability, skin color – I will capture you with a loving, gentle, culturally-sensitive and respectable approach.

    That also means if you have any sensitivities or discomfort that I should be aware of during our session, please do let me know, and I will do my very best to support and accommodate you.

  • Absolutely not! As long as I can gather all the necessary information from you that I need to conduct a good service, we can communicate in any way you feel comfortable. Just let me know when filling out the form what you feel most comfortable with and I’ll adapt! 😊

  • Yes, I’m very happy to offer your friends and family a 10% discount on my photography services. 😊 Just let me know before they reach out to me, and I’ll include the discount.

    Also, as a small thank you for booking my services, I’ll offer you a 25% discount on your next session – if you choose to work with me again. <3

  • Yes, I offer special pricing for NGOs and social enterprises. Please reach out to me for more information. 🙋🏻‍♀️
