Portrait Sessions in Montreux & the Swiss Riviera

You just need to show up.
Most of my clients say the same thing before their session:
“We’re awkward in photos.”
Perfect.
That’s exactly who I work with.
I guide you gently so you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely yourself — while creating images that actually feel like your memories.

Plan the fun
We choose the perfect location, vibe, and outfits. I guide you through everything so you feel prepared and relaxed.
Show up & Enjoy
You breathe in the mountain air.
You laugh. You move. You live it.
I guide gently when needed, disappear when it matters, and capture the moments that feel real.
Then you receive a gallery that feels exactly like the day did.
Not this trip.
Not this season.
Not this exact version of your family, relationship, or story.
Most people wait too long — then wish they had captured it.
I take a limited number of portrait sessions each month to keep every experience personal and intentional.
If your date is available… this is your sign.
Half Swiss, half Dutch.
Mountain obsessed.
Mildly allergic to awkward photos.
I believe the best images happen when people feel safe enough to simply be themselves.
So on your session day, I become:
⇨ your guide
⇨ your calm energy
⇨ your local expert
⇨ your “you’ve got this” person
If you want photos that feel like you truly lived the moment — we’ll get along very well.
Nope. This is your adventure, not a fitness test. We choose locations that match your comfort level.
Perfect. You’re my favorite kind of client. I guide naturally, keep things moving, and make you forget the camera exists.
Kids, dogs, and a little chaos are always welcome. Honestly, it often makes the photos even more meaningful.
I’ll guide you toward earthy tones and pieces that move beautifully — but comfort always comes first.
This is Switzerland. It happens. I build flexible plans and have backup options ready. Some of the best photos happen in “imperfect” weather.
As soon as you can — especially for summer and autumn. Even if your plans aren’t fully formed yet, reach out.
Still have questions?
Send me a message through the contact form. I’m an open book (and an even better snack dealer).
Whether you’re celebrating something special
—or simply want to remember this season of life—
I’d love to create something meaningful with you.
