Originally from Germany, I built extensive experience in the entertainment industry as a producer and in post-production for commercials, television, and film, while also working as a representative for photographers and as a studio manager for a fashion and fine art photographer. My path then carried me across continents to Maui, Hawaiʻi, where I spent six transformative years, and where my journey as a photographer began. For the past 15 years, I have been photographing and documenting celebrations of love.

Santa Barbara is home where I live in a round little house with 3 felines and I travel worldwide, wandering between the old and the new world to photograph love, people, dogs, flowers and life. xx
