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.

I am so excited to offer these contemporary alternatives to traditional framing…

fine art acrylic prints

The 1/4″ acrylic substrate brings your photograph to life in an almost three-dimensional effect. After your image is printed directly to the acrylic, a layer of opaque white ink is screen printed on the back to create a product that highlights the vibrant color and fine detail within your images. Gorgeous. Glossy. Contemporary. Arrives ready to hang.

fine art metal prints

Brushed aluminum Metal Prints show your images in an incomparable way. After a coat of opaque white ink is applied to the metal, your image is printed on top of the surface. This process truly takes your photography to the highest level in unique presentations. Modern. Edgy. Beautiful. Arrives ready to hang.

fine art gallery wrap canvases

Exquisite canvases are a work of art and a conversation piece in one. Your image is printed on artist’s canvas, stretched around a sturdy frame, and lustre-coated for added protection. Arrives ready to hang.

standout mounts

This installation too arrives ready to hang and is flush mounted to perfection. Think outside the box and create wall galleries with varying sizes. The best thing about them — they are quite affordable and very light weight. Basically, the photograph is mounted on thick, lightweight foam board edged in black trim.

storyboards

Create a small piece of art with a storyboard! 3-10 pictures are mounted on mat board with many different hanging options: frame it, put it on an easel & on a piece of furniture, or just lean it on a shelf… Storyboards work great with my journalistic, narrative photography — you can really tell a story here.

I can also help you with traditional framing, if you prefer a classic look.
