1. When is the best time?
Maternity: ideally 30–34 weeks. Family: outdoors is best at golden hour; in my Uster daylight studio the light is great all day.
2. Where do you shoot — at home, outdoors or in the studio?
Your choice: at your home, outdoors in the Zurich Oberland, or in the Daylight Studio in Uster. We’ll pick what suits you best.
3. What should we wear?
Timeless neutral tones, natural fabrics, minimal patterns/logos. On request, I provide a wide selection of minimalist clothing for women and children of all ages.
4. How many outfits & styling — can we change?
Yes — 2–3 outfits or some gentle layering for variety without stress. Simple accessories (jewellery/knit/cardigans) work beautifully with a minimalist look.
5. How long does a session take?
Maternity and Family 1.5–2 hrs, Newborn 2-3 hrs — with breaks, time to settle in and zero rush.
6. What if the kids aren’t in the mood?
Totally normal. We keep it playful and pressure-free, with little pauses. Real moments are the best ones anyway.
7. How do you edit the images?
Natural colours, true skin tones, subtle retouching (no body reshaping). Timeless, minimal — no kitsch.
8. How do privacy & sharing work?
You manage your online gallery and — if you share the link — you decide exactly what guests can see.
9. Can grandparents or pets come along?
Absolutely — family and furry friends are welcome. In the studio, please keep pets off the furniture.
