No crowds, no noise, no rush – just the breathtaking view of the skyline and the soft, golden light that makes New York so magical.

Everything You Need to Know About Your Photoshoot - FAQ

I am available for photoshoots worldwide. My main locations are St. Louis, California, New York, and Germany. Feel free to send me a message to inquire about your date and desired location.

Because of my love for New York, I regularly offer photoshoots in NYC. For anyone who wants to experience New York in a special way.

Absolutely! A photoshoot is not only for couples or families – you can also treat yourself to something special and create unforgettable memories. Many of my clients book a solo portrait session in NYC to capture their trip and take home unique images that tell their personal story.

Don’t worry – bad weather doesn’t necessarily mean your photoshoot has to be canceled. In fact, it can often create unique and atmospheric images – think of romantic moments with an umbrella in Central Park or dramatic shots of the Manhattan skyline. I also know plenty of weather-protected locations and indoor spots. And if the weather really doesn’t work out, we’ll simply find a solution together and reschedule for another day during your trip.

Yes, to secure your preferred date I do require a deposit. This guarantees your spot in my schedule and allows me to prepare everything for your session – from location planning to making sure we choose the best time of day. The remaining balance is then due shortly before or on the day of the photoshoot.

New York offers endless beautiful backdrops for photos. Depending on the mood, time of day, and your personal style, I’ll suggest the perfect spots – from iconic locations like the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park to hidden rooftops with breathtaking skyline views. And if you already have a favorite place in the city, we can capture your story there too.

As early as possible, since my New York photoshoot dates tend to fill up quickly – especially during popular seasons like fall in Central Park or the Christmas holidays in Manhattan. I usually plan my NYC trips about six months in advance, so I recommend booking early as soon as you know your travel dates.

My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable during your shoot. We’ll meet at an agreed location in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Central Park and take a relaxed walk through the city together. Along the way, I’ll capture your moments naturally – no stiff poses, just real emotions, candid moments, and authentic memories with New York’s stunning skyline as your backdrop.

Yes, with longer photoshoot packages there’s plenty of time for outfit changes. This allows you to try different looks for different NYC locations – from casual in Central Park to something more elegant with the Brooklyn skyline or the High Line as your backdrop. Changing outfits adds variety to your gallery and makes your NYC experience even more unique.

Shortly after your shoot, I’ll send you a small preview with 1–2 images so you can enjoy your first memories right away. The full, professionally edited gallery will usually be delivered within 2–3 weeks. This way, you’ll have a quick first glimpse and soon after a complete collection of high-quality photos to treasure.

The prices for my photoshoots vary depending on the package and duration. Whether it’s a couple, family, or business session – I offer different options to fit a variety of budgets and needs. I’ll be happy to send you a detailed pricing overview for your planned photoshoot. Just reach out for a non-binding quote – transparent and fairly calculated.

Yes! In addition to New York, I also offer shoots in St. Louis, on the West Coast, and at other beautiful locations across the US – for example in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Whether it’s iconic spots like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hollywood Hills, Pacific beaches, or urban backdrops in St. Louis: together we’ll find the perfect setting for your photoshoot. Feel free to reach out for available dates!

Absolutely! Engagement photos, proposals, and wedding coverage are some of my favorite sessions to capture – those once-in-a-lifetime moments filled with pure emotion. Whether it’s a romantic proposal on the Brooklyn Bridge, a sunset engagement in Central Park, or a wedding in St. Louis, I’m there to document it authentically and with heart.
I discreetly capture every detail so that your special moment is preserved forever – from the surprise and excitement of a proposal to the deep emotions of your wedding day. Together, we’ll plan the perfect way to tell your unique love story, creating timeless memories you can treasure for a lifetime.
