In bed with @portraitsandlight

German version below

And here’s another set from our shoot this May—this time from Day 3. Interestingly, we started out in a completely different way that day. While the previous day had a more editorial and fashion-driven vibe, with a calmer atmosphere, Day 3 was much more dynamic and—lacking a better word—sexier.

We also worked with moods more than we usually do and started shooting pretty much right away. Normally, we take our time discussing outfits and scouti...

Quick and sleep-deprived update

*German version below*

Back in good old Germany after a very eventful week of shooting in Madeira together with @mariouge (Maria), @portraitsandlight (Ingo), and @photography_madebykevin (Kevin). Time flew by, and somehow it feels like I was never even gone. I think I need a moment to let it all sink in.

The whole trip was definitely a challenge—though less emotionally demanding than the previous weekend I spent with Ingo. Probably because there were just so many impressions at ...

Sparkle with @photography_madebykevin

German version below

Since I’m currently in Madeira with Ingo and Kevin, I thought I’d just share some of their series during this time 😊 So here’s a throwback from our New Year’s shoot last year. I absolutely love the sparkling body chain and the light—it’s just magical!

The white dress with @portraitsandlight

German version below

I don’t think there’s a shoot with more to tell than the five days I spent with Ingo. This set was taken on the first shooting day, in the evening, in Ingo’s living room. The day was challenging for both of us in different ways. We were in the studio Kreativraum where we had our very first shoot about a year ago. It was my first shooting day after a six-month break and my stays in the clinic. The day was unexpectedly tough for me; tears flowed, and I ...

The backdrops with @portraitsandlight

German below


I’m honestly just amazed at how incredibly efficient Ingo and I were with the photo selection and editing this time (well… mostly him 😂). And that’s exactly why I can already share a series from our little shooting marathon with you. These photos are from Day 2, when we escaped the scorching summer heat and retreated into the cool Zigarolo studio. Ingo brought along these stunning backdrops, and what can I say? Everything just clicked.

Firework - NYE 2024

It’s already been half a year since @photography_madebykevin and I shot this (and a few other) videos. Just for fun, we grabbed my phone and started playing around – and I have to say, it was so much fun 😄
And since we’re seeing each other again today for the first time since New Year’s (we’re off to Madeira!! 🌴✈️), I thought it was the perfect time to share one of the results!

2025 - Week 23

German version below

It’s been a long time since I last posted an update. To capture everything that’s happened over the past weeks and months, I’d probably need to write half a book—so this time, you're just getting a little photo dump 😄 Please ignore the chaos in most of my selfies. I’m right in the middle of packing, unpacking, and sorting all my shooting gear 🙈

What else is going on? This week I sent out mail for the Polaroid animal project, re...

The red light with @dominiklachmannfotografie

Another series I’ve only ever shared a preview of—and that was ages ago. It’s also one I really love. The light, the contours, my hair… it all just came together. Makes me want to shoot again right away 😂

The bikini

As a small thank-you for your support, all the kind messages, comments, and all the little and big gifts – here’s a spontaneous out-of-schedule post.
Today I went through and cleaned up my photo folders, and stumbled upon this slightly older series. Unfortunately, the photographer behind it no longer shoots, and the bikini doesn’t exist anymore either (shame on me – I actually really liked it) 😅 But at least I’m still in front of the camera – and the denim jacket is still go...

The jeans with @portraitsandlight

And here’s another one with Ingo—this time from our very first shoot. I really like these calm images where you can even see my freckles. My posing style has become much more dynamic since then, and portrait-focused series like this have become almost rare. That’s why it’s such a nice surprise to “stumble upon” shots like these when I’m looking for the next post to share with you 😊

Update and preview - with @portraitsandlight

*German version below *

After five days with Ingo, it’s time for me to head back home. It’s hard to put the experience into words, but if I had to, I’d probably call it “exposure therapy.”

Since my time in the clinic, I’d found ways to avoid confronting my body. I hid behind loose clothing, stayed active, and often avoided looking in the mirror. Of course, I still knew that I had changed — not just outwardly, but on the inside too. And that shift showed up in the wa...

And here's another series from Ingo and me from last year. I haven't posted anything from our fourth photoshoot day yet (shame on me), so I thought we’d kick things off with this Instax series 😊

Our shooting trip to Madeira is also just around the corner. Unfortunately, not with the full crew as planned—our second photographer fell ill. But luckily, we found an equally great replacement the very same day!

I'm currently on the train heading to see Ingo. A whole weekend with him lies ahead, including several planned shoots. I'm curious to see how it will go after such a long time. In my luggage, I’ve packed some things you’re already familiar with—but also plenty I haven’t shot yet. Plus, I brought my Polaroid camera for some exclusive shots that are part of my Polaroid tier 😊

The tigths with @chrisdietzfotografie

Today I’ve got something a little different for you. Last year, @chrisdietzfotografie and I were up in Jean Noir’s attic, freezing our butts off together. This was one of the last sets we shot there. The light alone feels so wonderfully dramatic to me. And there’s something incredibly freeing, on an emotional level, about tearing clothes. It allows me to channel and express anger, sadness, pain, vulnerability, and strength.

Portraits with @dominiklachmannfotografie

My god, we shot so many sets that day – and I still haven’t posted all of them 😄 I always forget how much I love portraits until I stumble across some again. And that’s exactly the case with this series.

Mein Gott haben wir an dem Tag viele Sets geshootet - und ich habe immer noch nicht alle gepostet 😄 Ich vergesse auch immer, wie sehr ich Portraits mag, bis ich dann wieder über welche stolpere. Und so ist es auch bei dieser Serie hier.

The socks with @portraitsandlight

I don’t think I’ve shown you any shots from our sock series yet, have I? Well, it’s about time 😄 I already mentioned that Ingo loves to challenge me – and let’s be honest, it would be boring if I were the only one stepping out of their comfort zone. So Ingo got to photograph these fabulous socks, and I think neither of us was too unhappy with the results. Even though I did get to – or had to – shoot the same setup again without socks 😜

Ah, I just love this soft light and the overall color tone. Every time I see these photos, I just want to hop on a train to Hannover and keep shooting at that set 😄

To be honest, shooting with those glass panels wasn’t exactly easy – Kevin definitely challenged me during our shooting days. Whether it was fans, fabric, wire, a harness… or glass.

Polaroid with @portraitsandlight

I love Polaroids. I love the look, the suspense while waiting for the result, and the feeling of having something in my hands right away. Luckily, I get to enjoy that again and again with @portraitsandlight. I’ve now got a Polaroid camera of my own, and hopefully we’ll be using it a lot during the next shoot — especially for my new tier, "Full Access – Polaroid."
