Behind the lens

Désiree I Photographer • Storyteller • Mother

For more than 18 years, I’ve been internationally published, worked for myself as well as for magazines, and I had the privilege of capturing people, stories, brands and spaces across many worlds — Germany, and the U.S, but also London, Portugal, Bali, and Mallorca. My journey began with a simple love for observing beauty in the ordinary: the way sunlight wrapes around a subject, how laughter lingers in the air, how a quiet moment can say more than words ever could.

Photography, for me, is not just about taking pictures — it’s about studying light and translating feeling into form. It’s about slowing down, seeing deeply, having fun and creating images that hold emotion, beauty, memory, and presence. In a fast world full of quick snapshots and fleeting trends, I create images that feel lasting. Photographs that hold meaning —not just for today, but for years from now.

These are not just pictures. They are memories preserved with intention in an artful way. Because one day, these images will mean even more than they do now.

My style when photographing people can also be described as editorial, fun, artistic, emotional, luxurious.

Between Europe and America, motherhood and business, creativity and strategy — I’ve learned that beauty lives in balance. And that’s what I strive to capture: the stillness behind the strength and love of mothers, women and families, the poetry behind professionalism, and the light that makes every story unique.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s tell your story together.
