I could not be more excited to share this senior picture session with you. It was such a unique opportunity to meet Emmy and talk about her hopes and dreams.

Last summer I bought a new house and my photography was sidelined for a few months. Conversations with realtors and contractors and countless Ikea visits took over my life. You can imagine how excited I was when it was time to pack my suitcase and take off to Mexico. A jam packed photography workshop with the amazing Sebastian Suki Beláustegu got my creative juices flowing again. Here are some tips and tricks I learned over the course of my trip.

The month of August was a whirlwind of trips, visitors and celebrations. Between birthday parties, all three kids back at home - friends included, and countless trips to the airport, it can be difficult to stay cool and relaxed.Oh, did I mention my dog, my cat and the extremely cute and playful kitten? You get the picture, right?

Have you ever heard about the city of Lübeck? It's a picturesque small town in northern Germany listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, home of the German author Thomas Mann and many of my childhood memories.

Ten days ago I went to Florida to attend Click Away 2018, a conference for photographers. Imagine being surrounded by the beach, good food, even better company, all things photography related: you get the picture.

Last month I was approached by Lensbaby to beta test their newest creation, the Burnside 35. Once the lens arrived at my house, I could not wait to try it out.

When life gets a little too stressful and my mind goes into overdrive I often pick up my camera and go for a walk on the beach. The sound of the ocean, sand between my toes, and the smell of water, is like a magical highly potent recipe for finding quietness.

This is how I felt today, when I saw my Paris pictures on the Lensbaby blog! Thank you for the feature, you guys are amazing.
