Hello
I'm so glad you found me!
I love my family ( I am the mom of two wild and awesome little boys), I love good food, animals and photography. I'm originally from Germany but have been living here in Pinehurst, NC for 13 years. Time flies when you're having fun!
I specialize in creative portraits, commercial photography (branding, headshots, products) and pet portraits.
I am the headshot photographer for various local companies. clinics, real estate companies and entrepreneurs and have taught photographers in portraiture and lighting statewide.
My work has been published in both national as well as international magazines.
FUN FACTS
-
I am bilingual, but when I went to school as a child, I was actually taught a total of four languages ( German, English, French and Latin). Back then, I was better in French than I was in English, but that changed after I met my American husband. These days, I don't remember much about French or Latin, but it's still enough to read a menu and order food (well, in French at least. Not much use to order food in Latin) and I can still introduce myself, but that is the extend of it
-
I have three siblings
-
When I moved to the USA, I brought my two dogs and my cat with me on the plane

My guilty pleasure is watching Grey's Anatomy. I haven't missed a single episode since it started airing in 2005

I got my degree as a speech therapist in 2002 and used to work with children as well as in a geriatric rehab, where I was specializing in stroke and cancer patients. I haven't practiced in my profession since moving to the States in 2009
