MAMA, GET IN THE PHOTO, WITH YOUR KIDS. FOR YOUR KIDS.
Is it usually you, who takes the photos? Same.
DISPLAYED FAMILY PHOTOS IN THE HOME
GIVE OUR CHILDREN A SENSE OF BELONGING.
THEY FEEL LOVED, TREASURED AND APPRECIATED.
IMAGINE
if you had a photographer aka friend, who knows what you like or fear most, organizes your sessions around your needs and puts you in the picture beautifully. All you need to do is, get in touch, have a wonderful time with your family, enjoy your photographs readily printed, framed, photobook-ed. Enjoy. Repeat.
MY WHY
This winter I created a photo book of one of our most memorable trips to Lake Constance (Bodensee) when the children were 4 years old. That is one of my favourite places and it was important for me to show my children this beautiful part of the world. Only when we held the book in our hands and went through it for the first time, we realised that there was not a single photo of me. It made me feel very sad.
Mamas out there, I'd like you to get in the photos more often. Maybe your children or hubby can take some snaps of you every now and then. Just show that you were there too! And, occasionally, ring your trusted photographer and get your family photos taken.
Hurry, before you kids are grown up.
"I wanted photographs that show the connection with my children." Jenny, Christchurch
MY APPROACH
I love for you to get a balanced mix of some posed and mostly relaxed and authentic photographs. It is important to me to get to know your family before your session, so I can create a loose session plan which suits all your personalities and vibes. I will create opportunities for fun and playful interactions, cuddly moments and beautiful connections between all of you. I direct and guide you guys but also observe and document, ultimately, being able to show you who you are, not only how you look like. It's a blend of documentary and lifestyle photography. And with your session fee comes a framed photograph of your choice. I wish for you to have a beautiful photograph ready to display. It's on me.
Get photographs that are 100% you as a family.
No cheesy smiles.
And if you don't like your photos - I pay you the session fee back.
WHAT JENNY SAYS
"Jeannine photographs our family since our daughter was born. She knows exactly what photos we want.
Jeannine helped us personalising our home with our photos, so we get to enjoy them every day."
REASONS TO WORK WITH ME
My goal is that you trust me and see me as a friend, who knows exactly what you fear the most and what you love to get out of your photos. I am there for you. I will craft a session plan to make it pain-free for hubby and short and sweet for the children.
And for you, Mama, I will make sure you feel relaxed and look fabulous in the photos.
In order for it to look relaxed and spontaneous, I have to give you lots of prompts and directions. But it's worth it. You'll love your photos because they will show your personalities, not fake smiles.
When you book a session with me, I am 100% yours and dedicate my time and creativity fully to you, your session and your photos. I'll get them curated and ready for you within two days.
And if you don't like your photos -
I pay you the session fee back.
You'll get a complimentary framed photograph of your choice because it is important to me that you have a beautiful and professionally framed photo - without the hassle of getting it done yourself.
A framed photo with every session. On me.
