Shooting what it feels like, not what it looks like...
Let me guess...
Your phone gallery has thousands of pictures of your kids and your partner.
There might be the occasional selfie in there, or even worse, some terrible photos your partner took of you after you asked for a thousandth time (honestly, the struggle is real).
Or maybe, you're one of the lucky ones and your partner is the exception to the rule (I'll believe it when I see it!).
BUT, you are drowning in the daily routine, tired of your kids screaming and fighting, and are desperate for some quality time, reconnecting with each other to remind yourselves of the love that started it all.
Well, I have good news for you, you’re exactly at the right place!
Hi, I'm Kamilla
And I photograph real, unscripted, joy-filled family stories from pregnancy and beyond.
I'm here to help you not only to be finally present in your family photos, but also to create timeless photographs that will remind you of your connection and love.
I currently live in Klingnau, a little town not far from Zurich (Switzerland) and I am happy to travel to the surrounding areas to photograph you.
I strongly believe that no pose will ever show the magnitude of love and affection that you have for each other.
And it most certainly won't show your children's true character.
nothing beats real true emotions

FAQ
How would you describe your photography style?
I am a lifestyle photographer. The goal of this style of photography is to document real-life events in an artistic manner - to document life as it happens. What that means is
that I will be gently guiding you in regards to positioning to have the best light, but I will not be asking you to look at the camera or pose.
Your interactions will be unfolding naturally (with some gentle guidance from me) and I will be an almost invisible friend who captures them.
What time is best to have a session?
The most flattering light is either early in the morning or late in the evening. But if you want to have the magical golden light and sun flares in your photos, then the session needs to take place either at sunrise or at sunset.
On a cloudy day, or if the session will be at home, the time doesn't matter too much.
Where does the photo session take place?
It can be either at your home or somewhere outdoors. If you have some favourite outdoors places, we can consider them. If you don't know any nice locations, I always have a few suggestions. Also, I prefer shoots in nature but if you would like an urban photoshoot in the city, I am happy to do that too.
What happens if it rains?
I will be checking the weather forecast and if I see that it will be a rainy day, I will contact you a couple of days before the session to either reschedule for a different day or arrange a home session instead. We can also go ahead and have a rainy session outdoors. Kids with wellies and umbrellas, jumping in puddles, are very photogenic!
Do you take any traditional posed shots?
It's not really how I shoot. I spend more time letting the action happen naturally and capturing the moments as they unfold. But, I will be definitely taking some relaxed portraits of you together as a family, as this can be an important record for you.
Do you photograph in colour or black & white?
I do a mixture, choosing what I think works best for each photo. But, the majority of the photos in your gallery will be in colour.
If, however, you would rather not have any B&W photos, you can let me know and I won't include any.
How do I view the photos after the session?
Two or three weeks after the shoot your edited images will be available for viewing in a private online gallery. I will also be sending you a couple of sneak-peeks 2-4 days after our shoot.
What happens if my child is ill?
I am happy to reschedule if this happens, I just ask that you let me know as soon as possible.
Should we bring anything to the session?
It's great if you can bring along some of your child's favourite toys, games, balls, kites, bubbles – anything that you enjoy doing together as a family or that could help distract your child if upset. Snacks are also a good idea to boost your child's energy levels.
