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 shots are from our third and last session of Will & Jack’s 3-session-baby-package (session 1 & session 2). What a shame this sweet family moved to the East Coast :-( . I make sure to give you guys a call when I travel your way…All the best & much love

Gorgeous photo album

The Coffee Table Book

This beautiful 10×10 flush mount hinged book lays flat so photographs aren’t distorted by binding. The pages are extra-thick and true flush mount with prints extending across the entire page. Made to order in a variety of leather options. The pages of the gorgeous album are true color photographic prints made using traditional chemicals and processes (not press printed)! Includes up to 35 images of your slide show. Custom designed to your personal style.

Lawson & Andrew #2

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 :) )

Baby Max

Welcome to the world, baby Max! You are one precious little guy…it was a pleasure to meet you :-)

belly #2

I love when clients return for more fabulous photos :-) (see our first shoot here). Now Lindsay is having her second baby and I got to meet the beautiful Laurel…isn’t she precious?! Once again congratulations, Lindsay & family!

Happy Birthday, Emilia!

It’s more of a belated birthday at this point but I did want to share these cute images of a DIY birthday party I shot a couple of months ago…(You can tell mommy has a background in set design ;-) ). I love the color palette and creativity that went this magical fairy party. It was fun celebrating with you, Emilia! Happy Birthday…

Cousin Valerie

Well she is not really my cousin but the daughter of my second cousin – so still family :-) It was great to catch up with everyone at home in Germany a few weeks ago. I miss all my friends and family over there! So meet little Valerie and her parents…liebe Gruesse nach Hause!!
