Guardian of the Forest

Ahh, the autumn colors! One of my favorite photography seasons 🍂

Little flying Matisse having fun between the autumn leaves.

Sam, holding his newborn cuddly toy tightly in his hand, seems to step out of another time. The old‑masters’ light and his calm posture make it feel as if this moment is suspended somewhere between past and present. A pure portrait that evokes warmth and nostalgia.

The smallest of the lions

Whisper of the city walls

Blink of an eye

A lovely dancing couple posing

A bit unusual portrait of a mother with her two sons. Just the way they are. A bit of fun, a bit of chaos, but above all, a lot of love.

A beautiful sweet girl with a special hair colour and wreckless

Photoshoot in a normal living room setting with natural light.

Having fun in the studio with these cuties 😍

I had wanted to photograph her for a while.
Then one day, at a workshop, there she was. Not just present, but glowing, as if waiting for the right light.
We talked. Laughed. Agreed to meet again.

Some time later, we found ourselves at the edge of an old ruin, surrounded by trees, grass and open fields. The kind of silence that feels wide and welcoming.
We took photos. We laughed more.
And somewhere between light and laughter, this image was born.
