Love Bucket Photo bio picture

Welcome...

...to LOVE BUCKET photo's fabulous blog! Here I am posting sneak peeks of recent sessions as well as information on everything else I do and offer. ( > Check out all the awesome things you can do with your precious photographs in the inspiration section under the info tab).

A little bit about myself… I am so lucky to do what I do: I get to create truly meaningful photographs that will be cherished for years and generations to come. This must be the most rewarding aspect of my profession and comes with responsibility!     My family and wedding portraiture can best be described as colorful, whimsical, spontaneous, contemporary, and a bit “larger than life.” I strive to capture those precious moments and interactions that are so fleeting and turn them into a piece of art. While my coverage is very journalistic, I do include posed shots that are more stylized. I am all about variety -  let’s change the outfit, angle, backdrop, mood…I want you to walk away with a whole album of beautiful memories.
 
Besides the fact that I have always loved photography…I was born in former East-Germany where I lived until my family migrated to West-Berlin in 1989 (exactly six days before the fall of the Berlin Wall). I lived, studied, and worked in Germany most of my life until I met my husband and followed him to the United States. After working in photography both commercially and artistically for a number of years, I received my MFA in photography in 2007 at SCAD and now live with my husband and two sons in Venice, CA. My work has been published and exhibited internationally in cities like Berlin, Atlanta, Savannah, and Los Angeles.

These guys had a blast at the beach…such a fun shoot! I am sure getting everyone cleaned up and dried off wasn’t easy – but it was so worth it!

These photos are from the 3rd session of Rowan’s baby’s-first-year-package. He just turned one, is walking, and has the most adorable smile :-) ! Thanks for letting me capture all those precious moments…this is session 1 and 2. Oh, and Happy Halloween!

It’s been 2 years since our last session and boy have these guys gotten big (see our last session here) We had lots of fun exploring the neighborhood, feeding horses, and riding scooters. Thanks for a great session! (I love your new house and look forward to the pool party :) )
