About me

I am one of the few professional female outdoor sports photographers. Always searching for new adventures, the further outside of my comfort zone and the more adrenaline, the better. I focus on capturing authenticity and the connection between people and nature. Having grown up on two continents, I am based between Innsbruck, Berlin and Cape Town.

My photoshoots start with good communication and an assesment of the clients needs, followed by meticulous organisation of every detail. Then we add a competent, motivated, professional team and by the time we set out to shoot, there is no problem or eventuality that we cannot solve.

Safety first. But we like to have fun, we like to have adventure, and we like to deliver extraordinary results.

Bases: Berlin, Innsbruck and Cape Town

During the COVID-Pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult to travel and shoot in Cape Town.

Needing a base with more nature and outdoor sports for both work and peace of mind,  I have added Innsbruck to my collection of homes.

I am available for shoots in all destinations, depending on your needs.

“The water rescue training on monday was a great experience for us again…. but it was also an experience to watch you at work.

Professional, through and through….and we are thrilled with the pictures!”
