My life, by far, has not followed a straight path. I went through a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes I ask myself, "Why am I still watching Netflix series when my reality is way more intense and crazy?"
Sometimes I wanted to give up, but I always found myself back in fight mode. Finally, after 40, it started to make sense. I began to deeply self-reflect, looked into the depths, made peace, and went straight into my inner struggles instead of following the flight mode.
I've lived in Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and New York City. I've traveled to many places and realized that I always take my fears, struggles, and wrong beliefs with me. So I finally made peace, changed my perspective, and went outside my comfort zone.
I turned painful experiences - personal, professional, and health-wise - into strengths - the change of bitterness and anger into peace and dignity made me encourage others. I changed careers and followed my heart. It led me to license a new coaching approach: Philanthrosophie®: Sparring with the vision of dignity, wisdom, and appreciation.
I am a book co-author and learned how to help people with epigenetics and psycho-physiognomy. I graduated from Master's Programs at Chicago Booth and INSEAD. My most significant learning after 40 was to let go, love myself, be honest with myself and follow my passion for supporting others.
It is only the beginning of a fulfilled part of my life - with all the hiccups in between and those that may come up. Courage is grace under pressure. Never forget to learn from our children and be more playful every day!

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.
