Hi, I am Nelly,
Mom of Eliza, Emely, Ben, Daan and little John. I love my kids and my husband Sergej. We currently live in Lake Country and have built ourselves a little paradise here. Besides our chicken, quails, and mice, I also love music!
What makes me happy daily is to be woken by sunshine.
As a family we love life, nature, and our freedom. Together we like to vacation at the beach and travel to different continents. We love Canada and its wild, untouched, one-of-a-kind landscape.
Cooking is part of everyday life for me, just like watching Netflix in the evening for others.
I love creating new dishes for my family and developing new creations.
FAQ
Do you have a studio?
No, I don't have a studio because I love being outside in the wonderful nature and taking the pictures there too. No matter whether in the mountains, in the forest, or just in the bushes. Not only does it look great, but it also gives the images a bit of freedom.
What is your style?
I have a non-traditional style. I consider myself more of a lifestyle photographer. My sessions consist of authentic and staged poses. I am a lover of big and small details. I like to capture the more natural, candid moments - laughing, playing, flirting, cuddling and hugging.
When is the best time to shoot?
Outdoor sessions are scheduled within the week, Monday to Friday approximately 1-2 hours before sunset. The light is best here. The sun is low and shines softly.
Which location do you prefer?
Since I love nature, I am always looking for new, beautiful and suitable locations. I always decide spontaneously who I will shoot with and where. Whether family or couples, all pictures should be taken in wild nature.
Can I print my pictures myself later?
Yes, all images are fully edited and can be downloaded digitally.
You can also order professionally printed images from me.
We would like to book you, how do we do that and what comes next?
Write me a message using the contact form and I will get back to you immediately. Please also check your spam folder, as my messages can end up there from time to time.
If you like the offer sent to you, we will have a quick phone call and I will pass on some information to you so that you can get pictures like the ones on the homepage.
How long do the shoots last?
It is always different.
I don't want to put you under pressure and children don't always cooperate the way you want them to.
Allow the families to spend around 1-2 hours. For pregnancy pictures approx. 1 hour.
Should I have my hair and makeup done professionally?
Yesssss!!!
The pictures on my homepage were mostly taken by a good make-up artist. However, if you don't feel like it, that's no problem. However, make sure that any skin impurities are covered very well beforehand. My pictures are natural, real and I don't like using Photoshop to change you....
What do we do if the weather turns bad?
Cloudy weather is not a problem. However, if it rains, snows, hails, etc. I will contact you as soon as possible to reschedule.
I'm excited about my photos! When will they be ready?
I will send you some pictures in advance after the shoot.
However, you will have to wait about 2-3 weeks until all the photos are finished and uploaded.
