Kids Photoshoots

Children

I am a mother of two — a boy and a girl — and I understand deeply the joys, challenges, and the sacred creation of a world that motherhood carries.

Children, to me, are pure souls. I am especially touched by how gently they are portrayed in Waldorf-inspired imagery: gnomes, fairies, little mermaids. It gives me great inspiration. But every child is different: some feel drawn to the spirit of Peter Pan, while others dream of being princesses.

Photographing children, for me, is like peeking through a tiny window into the fairy-tale world living inside each child. It is all about understanding, acceptance, and trust. And of course, it touches my heart, because during a photoshoot I am given the privilege to “touch” the soul of a little human and see the world through their heart.

During children’s photoshoots, I try to preserve that purity of story, that light, that magical world the child brings with them.
