40 Over 40: Kim L.

Kim is a pharmacist whose passion is in the research & development of medication that can help patients with diseases and improve their quality of life.

Despite suffering from motion sickness, fear of heights, and constant freezing, Kim's most remarkable achievements have been hiking to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in minus 15 C degrees and snowstorms. "It was the hardest and most exhausting trip I have ever experienced. It was my greatest achievement, which I would likely never try again."

If presented with the opportunity, Kim would tell her younger self, "Trust in what you do and always be proud of yourself and the results you have achieved." But instead, she finds happiness in being surrounded by people she loves and traveling and exploring new places.

Kim never thought she would see herself in glamorous shots and the 40 Over 40 photoshoot experience helped her realize how beautiful she truly is. She believes that her uniqueness and confidence shine through in each portrait and showcase her natural beauty.

Hi, welcome to my world! I’m a Danish portrait photographer in Starnberg, south of Munich, Germany. I have a gorgeous studio in the middle of Starnberg and I am here to make you fall in love with yourself and strive to give nothing but a great time while with me and for you to take home empowering photographs of which you will be proud of.

You will be working with a photographer with both extensive experience and a desire to help you feel at ease during the image-making process and you are hiring a photographer with internationally awarded imagery, accredited and "Master Photographer" with The Portrait Master USA.

My style is fashion meets fine art & feminine elegance. YOU however are my center of attention so tell me how you dream of seeing yourself and I will create a series for you that will blow you away. I specialize in Vanity Fair style contemporary portraits including a big studio wardrobe, team of hair and make-up artists, cozy and welcoming studio, and most importantly a consultation ahead of each session to be sure I deliver what you want. This is no matter if you are visiting me for your beauty, glamour, boudoir, personal branding or family photo session. I have years of experience in photographing everyday people and you fully, 100%, rely on me guiding you into poses that flatter no matter your age, size, skin, or desired style.

While you are in my studio ALL attention is on you and nothing makes me happier than empowered clients who finally see themselves as their family and friends have seen them all along. Strong, beautiful, confident with an inner light that just needed a moment to shine.

I am here to build self-esteem and confidence and I want to make the days of feeling "no value for self" fewer for my clients. In turn, give them more self-confidence.

I hope you take the time to look around my website, visit me on social media, or drop me a message. I would love to hear from you so we can chat about how you’ve always dreamed of being photographed!

Would you like flattering photographs that you can treasure forever and share with everyone who loves you? I invite you to a photo session with me and I promise it will change the way you look and think of yourself.
