FAQs
Everything you need to know!
📅 Booking & Availability
How do I book a session?
Simply fill out my contact form, send me an email or drop me a message on WhatsApp. Tell me a little about the session you have in mind, and I'll get back to you so we can discuss the details and find a date that works for you.
I'm not always easy to reach by phone, so a message is usually the best way to get in touch!
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally, 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you have a particular date or location in mind. If you're visiting Tenerife soon or have a last-minute idea, just get in touch — I'll see what I can arrange!
Do you require a deposit to reserve my date?
Yes, a 30% deposit is required to secure your date. It's part of the total session price and is non-refundable, but it can be transferred to a new date if you reschedule in accordance with the booking conditions.
What’s your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
I understand that plans can change, whether it's due to travel, illness, family circumstances or simply life getting in the way. If you need to change your plans, please let me know as soon as possible, and I'll do my best to help.
More than 72 hours before your session: Your deposit is retained, but no further payment is due.
Less than 72 hours before your session: Your deposit is retained, and additional charges may apply in accordance with the booking conditions.
Same-day cancellations or no-shows: The full session fee is payable.
If illness or a genuine emergency gets in the way, please get in touch. I'll always try to find a fair solution, including rescheduling where possible.
The full terms are outlined in your booking contract, so you'll know where you stand before your session is confirmed.
📸 Photos & Delivery
How do you choose which photos I receive?
After your session, I carefully select and edit the best images, removing any blurry shots or accidental mid-blinks.
You'll receive a preview gallery of these fully edited photographs. You can then choose your favourites according to the number included in your package.
If you fall in love with more images than your package includes, you can purchase extra photos individually or upgrade to the full gallery at a discounted price. No pressure — you choose what you'd love to keep.
Do you provide unedited or RAW files?
I only deliver professionally edited images. Editing is an important part of my photography style, helping each photograph look its best and keeping the final collection consistent.
How and when will I receive my images?
Your photographs will be available through your private online gallery, usually within two weeks of your session. During busy periods, it may take a little longer, but I'll keep you updated.
Do you edit all the photos?
Yes! Every image you receive is carefully edited for colour, light and contrast, in keeping with my natural photography style. I want your photographs to look beautiful while still feeling like you.
📍 Location & Setup
Where do sessions take place?
I photograph across Tenerife, from beautiful beaches to dramatic volcanic landscapes and quiet, hidden spots. If you have a favourite place or a location in mind, let me know! We can find somewhere that suits you and the kind of photographs you'd love.
Can you recommend locations?
Absolutely! I'm happy to discuss your ideas and help you find the right spot. Whether it's a beach, a mountain setting or somewhere special to you, we'll choose a location that feels right for your session.
Do you charge extra for travel?
Travel within my included area in South Tenerife, from Abades to La Caleta, is included in the session price. For locations outside this area, a small travel fee may apply, usually around €10–€25, depending on the location. I'll confirm any additional costs with you before we book.
What happens if the weather isn't suitable?
Tenerife usually gives us plenty of beautiful days, but the weather can be unpredictable. If conditions aren't suitable for your session, we'll discuss the options and arrange another date where possible. Your comfort and safety always come first.
👗 Preparation & Styling
What should I wear?
The best colours often depend on where we're shooting. On Tenerife's beaches, natural colours, earthy tones and soft neutrals work beautifully with the sand, sea and warm light.
If we're shooting among Tenerife's dramatic volcanic rocks, bold colours can look fantastic. Think red, mustard yellow, turquoise or bright blue — colours that stand out against the dark stone and make your photographs pop.
For families, couples or groups, it's a good idea to choose colours that complement each other rather than wearing exactly the same outfit. You want everyone to look like they belong together, without looking like a uniform! 😉
I'd avoid busy patterns, lots of stripes or checks, and large logos, as they can distract from the people in the photographs.
Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. Once we've chosen your location, I'm happy to help you find colours and outfits that will work beautifully in the setting.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all! You don't need any modelling experience or to know what to do in front of the camera. I'll guide you when needed, but I prefer natural movement and genuine moments over stiff poses. Just relax, be yourself and enjoy the experience — I'll take care of the rest.
Can I bring props, pets, or family members?
Absolutely! Personal items or props that mean something to you are always welcome.
If you'd like your pet or family members to be part of the photographs, that's absolutely fine too — it simply depends on your chosen package and what we'd like to capture.
If you're bringing a pet that won't be photographed, please arrange for someone to look after them during your session. I want to be able to focus fully on you and your photographs, without you having to worry about your pet.
And one little tip: although it's lovely to have friends or family there to support you, I've found that people often feel more relaxed when they're not being watched. If you're nervous in front of the camera, having an audience can sometimes make it harder to forget about the camera and simply be yourself. Of course, it's entirely up to you — I just want you to feel comfortable.
💙 Special Considerations
Do you photograph pets or children?
Absolutely! The chaos is part of the charm — and it often makes for the most genuine, candid moments.
Just make sure to check which package best fits your session needs (mini sessions don’t include pets). Some packages offer more time and flexibility — especially if you're planning to include children or pets.
What if my child/pet doesn’t cooperate?
That’s totally normal — no stress! I work at their pace and keep things relaxed and fun. We’ll still get beautiful, honest moments — promise.
That said, if your child tends to need a little more time to warm up (totally normal!), a mini session might not be the best fit. In that case, I’d recommend booking a classic session, where we have more time and flexibility to go with the flow.
Can you work with reactive dogs?
Yes — and thank you for asking. I approach every session with empathy, patience, and flexibility.
If you have a reactive dog:
I completely understand — I have one myself. Let me know how to best approach your dog, and we’ll take things slow and calmly. As long as we’re all safe and respectful of each other’s space, we’ll make it work beautifully.
Let’s talk and find the package that suits you best — I’m happy to guide you through the options so it feels just right for your loved ones and the memories you want to create.
I use a wheelchair — can we still do a photoshoot?
Absolutely. I'm happy to adapt the session to your needs and comfort. We’ll choose a location that’s accessible and easy to navigate, and I’ll plan the shoot with flexibility and creativity so you feel confident and relaxed.
If there are any specific access considerations I should know about in advance (like terrain, ramps, or rest areas), just let me know — I’ll make sure everything runs smoothly and comfortably.

My child has sensory sensitivities — can we still do a photo session?
Yes, absolutely. I’m happy to tailor the session to your child’s unique needs. Whether they are sensitive to light, sound or need more time to feel comfortable, we’ll take things at their pace.
If you have a special place that feels safe and familiar, like your garden or a quiet park, we can hold the session there. Familiar surroundings often help children feel more relaxed, which leads to more natural and joyful photos.
Just let me know what helps your child feel calm and confident, and I’ll plan the session accordingly. My goal is always to create a gentle, fun, and pressure-free environment so we can capture genuine moments together.

Can loved ones who need extra care or support be included in the photoshoot?
They’re not only welcome — they’re deeply valued. Including vulnerable family members, whether due to age, illness, or disability, is often one of the most meaningful parts of a session. A quiet glance, a gentle hand, or simply their presence can hold a kind of love that deserves to be remembered.
We’ll tailor the session together to make it as comfortable and relaxed as possible. We can choose a familiar and accessible location — your garden, a peaceful park, or wherever feels safe and calm. I’ll work at a gentle pace and ensure there’s no pressure — just time and space to be together.
These sessions aren’t just about photographs. They’re about connection, care, and creating something your family can treasure for years to come. It would be my privilege to help you do that.

📄 Legal & Rights
Will you use my photos for your portfolio, social media, or on your website?
Possibly — but only if you’re happy with it. As part of the contract, there’s a simple yes/no tick box where you can let me know your preference.
This is called a model release, and it gives me permission to share your images for things like my website, social media, or portfolio — always respectfully and professionally.
If you’d prefer to keep your session completely private, just tick “no.” You’re in control, and your comfort always comes first.
Do I have the rights to print and share my photos?
Yes! You get full personal use rights — print them, share them, enjoy them. If you need commercial rights (like for a business website), just talk to me.
🗣️ Languages
What languages do you speak?
German — I’m fluent, it’s my mother tongue. But as I’m Austrian, don’t be surprised if a little “Jössas!” or “Mei!” slips in now and then 😉
English — fluently and professionally… with an accent that’s been well-travelled (picked up bits and pieces while living all over — it’s a global remix 😄)
Spanish — learning slowly and speaking even slower… with very questionable grammar and a strong accent 😅
If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m always happy to help!
