and the last slideshow...

...of the bunch of sessions I hade right before Christmas. 3 beautyful sisters I catched in the wonderful winterlight. Go and have a look:

Slideshow for Family W.

This is the slideshow of Family W. They are one of the cutest familie living on this planet. Look at the girls they are just made to cuddle the whole time. And they are all so extremely photogenic! But have a look yourself:

Christmas is over...

and I enjoyed it so much. The past few years it became more of a burden than a real joy. But this year it was again the family gathering I was hoping for it. And I think for the first time in my life I got just amazing gifts! Thank you all so much for the well thought and really adorable gifts I received. I am looking much forward to use them.

As we started celebrating early this time we had the 25th off so Philippe and I enjoyed a very beautyful day on the top of the Alps. I'm not really a landscape photographer but I like the sunflare I got. Ah and yes, the thing with the with glasses and the hot cocoa is me...

Next Slideshow

Ok it's officially Saturday, nevertheless I post the next slideshow. It's the civil winter wedding of Family H. Winter weddings are always special (and there are not too many of them). Even we do not get snow down here we can be very happy it's not raining. In the opposit they were extremely regarding their weather. But I assume good people get good weather on their wedding day, no?

Slideshow for N.

Shortly before Christmas I have to post some more slideshows. I am still working on a few sessions, here is the first one I finished. The slideshow of lovely Miss N. She is a shining star and was a real pleasure to work with.

Where in the world have I been...

you may wonder. Oh, the answer is not exciting at all. First I had almost a week I just worked on several projects till I was able to enjoy a very nasty flue. Ok, yes it was not a real pleasure and I'm still suffering from the afterpains but I at least feel slowly better. And besides this I had quite many photoshoots which I have to admit I am still working on developing the pictures. But they will be worth to wait, here is a first little sneak for N. just to make the waiting a little more endurable.

The perfect christmas gift

I believe in photography. And not only because I am a photographer. I truly believe in capturing moments and preserve them for our families. Who does not like to strive trough the family photos and remember when they have been snapped? Even you din't like the picture in the time they have been made, a few years later you will treasure them anyway. That's exactly why portrait pictures are a perfect gift for christmas (and also for any other occasion). Parents, Grandparents, sibligns and close friends will love to have a nice picture of their beloved ones!

I believe that especially here in Switzerland people have still to focus more on the saving of memories. And photography is just a perfect way to do.

And as an example how portraits could look like have an eye on the pictures of beautyful K. sisters.

Gallery update

I updated the portrait galleries on my website (all categories except "awaiting"). Go and have a look, you may find some you haven't seen before... "stardust" just as a small hint

Advent project

This is my Advent project. I try to write something everyday. It can either be about the day or about christmas itself. I also try to snap some pictures and add to this Advent album. Here is the template album for my project.

Do you Backup?

I do! And there is a very simple reason why you should too - backups save our life. I mean how much valuable information do you store on your PC/MAC day by day? I defenitely do a lot!

And now you are asking why I talk about this? Today my computer crashed, it was not even starting anymore... (and it is still not starting). I really do not know why, maybe a virus maybe some other reason. Lucky (or smart, this is up to you) as I am I store essential data (like customer files/pictures)on external drives and so I'm saved for most parts this time. The worst thing happened due to this crash is that I lost ALL my e-mails! And there was some information on my C which I may not get back again. I just wanted to backup my C this week, but as usual if you don't do it when you think at it you forget to do it til it's to late. - So if you think you should backup your PC or MAC do it, do it right now. It may save your life...
