Joyful, emotional and unconventional family photography in Switzerland for relaxed, lighthearted families.

It’s as simple as that.

You are unique, it’s our differences that make us special. You have a story and it deserves to be told. It’s wonderful. I’m sure of it, let me show it to you.

I'd love to photograph your family. Together we'll create art with soul to show you how beautiful you truly are.

Photographing your life in all its beautiful, messy and glorious detail.

Come as you are - YOU’LL BE MORE THAN PERFECT.

Celebrate the everyday, Everyday

Family Photographer Switzerland.

- Since 2009 -

These family photography sessions are focussed on you and your loved ones.

The way you look at your family and the way that look is reflected back at you:

This is where the magic lies.

Let me photograph that magic, don’t let it slip away unnoticed.

Natural photographs of you is the aim so each session is designed specifically with your family in mind. From the very beginning, it's my aim to make this easy and enjoyable for you.

The time is now, these moments won’t last forever. I believe in documenting the “normalities” of everyday life. Celebrating the small stuff as much as any big milestone.

Showing you your truth in all its bonkers, intimate and tender glory. You don't have to do anything special, or pretend to be anything other than yourselves, you are already perfect and that is what I want to show to you.

Family photography that CAPTURes A SNIPPET IN TIME FOR YOU TO ENJOY FOREVER.

"It was a joy to have Caroline take pictures of our family. She's uncomplicated, flexible, friendly and she captured the essence of our family.

The pictures are beautiful and beyond my expectations."

"She made us feel instantly relaxed"

Hi, I'm Caroline

She/her.

I'm a family photographer based in Basel, Switzerland.

My photos are a calm and tender documentation of unique, crazy, wonderful families just like yours.

I’m friendly and easygoing. My super skill is to make people feel natural and at ease in front of the camera.

More than anything, I want to give you a great experience so that you feel comfortable. This will result in fab pictures that really do feel and look like you: the real, beautiful, perfectly imperfect you. Oh, and kids love me!

Take a look at the beautiful people in these photographs and imagine this for your family.

the Experience

You’re a parent, you’re busy with a million things to juggle, I understand.

Please don’t let a family photo session be just one more thing to-do on your list. I’m here to make it easy, fun and enjoyable for you.

I don't want to sound dramatic, but: These photos will grow in importance over time.

Your future self will thank you for making the time to do this.

"It was fun, I liked playing with her"

Does this sound like you?

- You have a million photographs of your family you treasure but you’re always the one behind the camera.

- The photographs you have are mostly phone snaps (beautiful in themselves, don’t get me wrong) but you'd love something quality to hang on walls, to share with grandparents and for the future.

- You love photography full of moments and personality. Nothing overly posed, unnatural or that makes you feel icky or uncomfortable doing.

I hear you and I get it, because it's what I want too.

From belly laughs to huge hugs, the way the light falls on beautifully fine baby hair, dirty knees from playing, the way your little one strokes you whilst nursing, their dishevelled “I'm hungry” look, tiny finger dimples, or how "someone" has inexplicably decided that they’ll only eat carrots now!

All this plus the gestures and touches you don’t even realise you’re doing that solidify you together:

This is your story and it’s AMAZING!

Let me show it to you.

MATERNITY,

NEWBORN,

FAMILY

I'M HERE FOR ALL FAMILIES, EVERYONE IS INCLUDED AND WELCOME HERE.

OR JUST BECAUSE!

What does family mean to you?

Because it's different for each of us.

I appreciate and celebrate all the differences that make your family truly unique. You are special, exactly the way you are.

My belief is that family is whatever you choose it to be.

Whether you have 7 children, 1 child, no children but a menagerie of pets, you might be a single parent, or are grandparents raising grandchildren, have adopted or foster children, 2 dads, 2 mums, maybe you had a long and painful journey to parenthood or perhaps you are trying to have children but can’t, the intentionally child-free or your chosen family.

Whatever family means to you, and whatever your family dynamic looks like; your story deserves to be told and photographed.

I'd love to be the one to do that for you.

Print your family photographs lovely people!

Plaster them on your walls in giant beautiful frames, stick them on your fridge, pop them in your wallet, have one on your desk or inside of a beautiful album. However you do it, print them and I can guarantee that whenever you see the images of your family as you go about your day, it will make you smile.

It’s so easy to leave your images on a hard drive somewhere with every good intention of getting round to printing them, someday. But we get busy, we put these things off and then before you know it, it’s been years you still haven't gotten around to it and now you can’t even remember which hard drive they are on! Sound familiar?

Let me help you with this. You choose how you would like to display your images and leave the rest to me.

Get in touch and I’ll send over the brochure.

There is something magical about a printed image.

"The physical photograph is now more important than ever, in this world of continuous streams of images that become the past after a few minutes instead of many years. Now, physical photography holds together the past, present and future."

– Francesco Sambati

Get in Touch

Oh wow! Literally the best photographer ever. We've been doing this, every year since the birth of our little one, and each year we have switched photographers, hoping to find „the“ one. Well, with Caroline we have it! Fast forward to a month ago and we had our second shoot. It is becoming a summer event, with next years already in the planning! Our daughter loves her and the results are simply wonderful.

You are such a fairy. What you made is so precious!!!

The pictures are beautiful, thank you. You captured so many details that I adore.

I love the pictures from when I was feeding C, it's such a precious and happy moment in life.

P & I both wish we had some moments of tenderness like these captured in a photo from when we were young. I think it will be grounding for both of the children later in life.
