Day in your Life
It’s about your life
I’m lucky to have a lot of pictures of my childhood. Every time I look at them now, a whole feeling comes back: I hear my mother’s voice, I smell my father’s cooking. You don’t just remember the moment, you get to step back into it for a second. This priceless feeling is why I offer Day in Your Life sessions.
Instead of posing or staging anything, I simply spend the day with your family and move through your routine with you: the calm, the chaos, the in-between bits you don’t even notice anymore. No need to perform or tidy up, you just live your day and I capture it. By the end of the session, you don’t just have photos. You have a way back into moments that might have slipped by unnoticed, and someday, your children will too.
A Day in Your Life session is a full 24-hour experience. Yes, that means it’s a sleepover! It gives us time to get to know each other before the camera comes out, and enough space for your day to unfold naturally.
I arrive in the evening, we settle in, maybe share a meal or just talk for a bit. The next morning begins the way it always does for you. The only difference is that I’m there, moving through it with you and taking pictures. But don’t think of it as a photoshoot. It’s simply time spent together, and I happen to be carrying a camera.
If you prefer to keep it a bit shorter, I have two more options available to suit your preferences and budget.

Questions I frequently answer
-
First, let’s talk on the phone or over a cup of coffee. For the Star at Dawn package, I am always open to meeting your family for a meal or a hike before our session. It’s nice to get comfortable before I pick up the camera.
-
For the 8h and 24h packages, I’m happy to travel anywhere across Europe to spend the day with you. This will only add travel and eventual accomodation costs. By the way, I’m fluent not only in German, but also in English, French and Spanish 😊
-
For my documentary approach, it’s not necessary to plan anything extraordinary, whatever you would do on that day without me, we can do it together. But if you want me to join you on a day trip, I’ll happily pack my hiking boots or bathing shorts.
-
In that case, let me know as soon as possile, so that we can reschedule our photo session.
-
Only if you agree to. As you can imagine, I love sharing our captured moments online - it's like sharing treasures with the world. And also, it’s how I draw attention to my work and gain new clients. But in the end, it’s your call entirely. I will only publish photos with your consent, and if you prefer them to remain offline, I totally get it.
-
Usually, it takes me about a week to review and edit the photos. Once ready, you’ll receive a link to an online gallery that you can view, download and share with others.
Your personal gallery will remain online for 4 weeks, so make sure you download your images on time.
-
Absolutely! I feel like these precious moments deserve a special place in the physical world, since it is a completely different experience to intentionally connect to them via an object, rather than through our everpresent screens.
You can order high quality prints directly from your gallery. And if you want me to create a photobook that tells the story of your day, just ask me directly.
