A special visit

We all know, home is where our loved ones are. Well, sometimes and sometimes we have to live far away from them. In this case, they really are at two different ends of the world but are able to get together once a year for an extended time. This time, Annie's Mom and brother came from over from India.

During our session I found out that Mom is a botanist, has about three masters and is currently a professor. I love getting to know people.

Fellow photographer

It was such an honour to meet a fellow photographer from Frankfurt but at the same time it also created a little nervousness in me, obviously....I just didn't want to mess up.

We met at this amazing area which I didn't even know existed. It reminded me of the north sea with its pine trees and sandy beaches. It was simply a gorgeous setting and the family went along so incredible well. Poor little guy was fighting a cold but he sure was a champ! Here are some of the results from our session.

Foggy, foggy German morning

As I drove to our location I was starting to scratch my head thinking, my oh my...this is really foggy up here. But as soon as Mom and Dad stepped out of the car and confirmed that this was ok, I said, yeah. lets rock this fog !

I "only" have three boys but I guess with four its even more fun LOL, so with that said we pretty much stayed moving around from one spot to another, to keep those busy feet going. They were great troopers....and MOM, as they say in German "Hut ab!" all my respect for you.

Memories lasting a lifetime

I take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.

If you don't know what to get your loved ones for Christmas (or for any occasion for that matter), here's an idea ! Plus, if you purchase your gift certificate until November 15th, you will receive a 10% discount.

Together since 30 years

I think the images speak for themselves, therefore, I will just leave at this: happy anniversary!

A new life

There is nothing more amazing and beautiful than being able to carry a child under your heart.

A new life. A new beginning.

I guess Pablo Picasso had the best words for this:

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."

Class of 2018, Wiesbaden

I have to admit, I like teenagers more and more. Maybe its because my kids are getting to that stage in life and I have no choice. Sometimes I feel like grabbing them by the shoulders and try to tell them everything I know under two minutes. EVERYTHING about pain, sadness, joy, defeat, pride, how to move on, how to handle conflicts and how to be humble. This beautiful senior didn't have it easy since they just moved to Germany. I know, I have been there, this is my fourth country and it wasn't always easy. But dear, I've got one thing to say: you re going to be much richer because you have gone through this. You are going to be more experienced, more open, more flexible and easy to get along with, just to name a few.

So here to celebrate another beautiful jewel ready to conquer the world! You go and show  it to them all!

 

p.s. we had the German version of hurricane Irma....not really...but it was crazy windy out there :)

Family time

I know I keep repeating myself BUT I know that one day you will thank me, or yourself or whoever pushed you to get a session. One day, your kids will have a book in their hands to flip through and smile. To remember the wonderful times you had together as a family.  

Don't take any day for granted. Enjoy every moment and make sure that the memory stays alive!
