Leading Newborn Photographer in Zurich

Emotive, authentic newborn photography that holds onto the most fleeting days of motherhood.

Document it now — not just for today, but for the decades ahead

Those early days with your newborn are flooded with emotion: unconditional love, broken sleep, and exhaustion — mixed with the highest highs you’ll ever experience.

You’re trying to take it all in, but these messy, magical moments slip away faster than you ever imagined.

This is more than photography — it’s holding onto the most fleeting moment of your life

The love you feel right now for this tiny soul is something you can’t put into words. You just want to hold onto this feeling — the softness as they melt into your arms, the yearning to stay close, the endless trust in their eyes.

Let’s pause and breathe it all in — these moments deserve to be remembered before they pass.

Because one day, this will be your most treasured memory.

My newborn sessions are an experience that meets you where you are — in your own space, at your own pace. Through raw, intimate photography, I capture this fragile chapter of your life just as it feels.

And one day, when these moments feel like a distant dream, these images will not only be a way to remember what it felt like to become a mother, but also a gift to the little soul you hold so close — offering them a glimpse into their story, long before their own memories begin.

Everything Will Be Taken Care Of — Here's How Your Newborn Session Unfolds

We CONNECT

We begin by connecting — gently exploring the story you want to tell in this first chapter of parenthood.

Newborn sessions are personal and deeply emotional. Together, we’ll shape an experience that reflects not just what this time looks like — but what it truly feels like.

We Prepare

You deserve to feel calm, confident, and cared for. That’s why we plan every detail together — from styling and outfits to choosing a comfortable, baby-led setting in your home or my studio near Zurich.
So when the day arrives, you can simply be present with your little one.

We create

During your newborn session, I’ll gently guide you while allowing space to feed, soothe, rest, or simply be. Everything unfolds slowly and calmly, led by your baby’s rhythm.

The focus is on your deepest connection — the stillness of quiet moments, and the fleeting instants that deserve to be remembered just as they are.

We preserve

Beyond fleeting digital files — your story is transformed into tangible prints and albums, crafted to last for generations.

Because these memories aren’t just for today — they’re for the years ahead, so you can remember these early days with perfect clarity.

Signature Newborn Sessions

“With you, we always feel so at ease and I find myself completely losing track of time and space…

Almost as if entering a meditative state.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing these moments for us.” — Katharina

When I became a mother, I realized: these are the days. The ones that pass too quickly… yet shape us forever.

I know how deeply we long to hold onto these moments — not just for ourselves, but for our children. Because these images become part of something bigger: a story passed down. A sense of belonging.

That’s why I create photographs that speak to the heart — preserving the beauty and quiet magic of your connection with the ones you love most.

BECAUSE these are the days - EMBRACE THEM.
