After Christmas family photo session in Zurich // Family photographer in Zurich, Switzerland

It’s been such a long time since I have published pictures here, so I decided that sharing more of my experience as a wedding and family photographer should be a good New Year resolution.

During the first week of January I was invited to make pictures of a wonderful French family residing in a beautiful district of Zurich near Rietberg park. Marie of https://www.jollymama.fr contacted me first in Autumn with request to do a maternity photo session. She wanted some beautiful, intimate portraits with her husband and their sweet toddler daughter documenting tender moments during this unique time in their lives. The plan was to take pictures first at home and then move somewhere to the park or the lake, but unpredictable Zurich weather made us stay indoors. The setting could not been more gorgeous though! Despite all the rainy greyness outside, the beautiful apartment with distinct French flair was filled with cosy Christmas atmosphere. I love these relaxed and natural images and hope they will help to preserve sweet memories of this beautiful time …

One evening full of happiness at Vierwaldstättersee // Family and Portrait Film Photographer in Meggen, Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland

Last year I had an opportunity to photograph this lovely family at Vierwaldstättersee, one of the most beautiful lakes of Switzerland. The mom of this wonderful family reached out to me asking about a family portrait session in Meggen, where she spent her childhood with her parents. The Summer (as far as I remember :) was unstable last year, and we had to postpone our photo session several times, but eventually we were lucky with weather. We had a beach just for us. It was a celebration of summer, family gathering and making of the best memories. The pictures were taken on medium format film, and I must confess, I love them so much, the soft magic of film makes every single shot very intimate and authentic, presenting it as an effortless piece of art. 

Hilary, Paul & Baby Clayton // family session photographed in Zurich // Family photographer in Zurich // Children's Photographer in Switzerland

It's such a wonderful experience to document the growth of the family of my former wedding couples. I'm always so honoured when I get asked to photograph their families a year (or two or three etc :) after the wedding. Last Spring I had a wonderful pleasure of photographing the new addition to the family of Hilary and Paul, baby Clayton, I loved spending time with them capturing their happiness and smiles, discovering their immense obsession with the tiny human being, their new family member ...  

Lifestyle family photographer in Zurich // Autumn pictures, part 2

I love taking pictures of children and think the best way to capture them is to let them be themselves. No stiff poses and artificial smiles. I long to create artistic imagery  that tells an intimate, genuine story - the moments of simplicity and beauty of the everyday. Clients often say they completely forgot I was there, while I photographed them, enjoying time being with their loved ones.
