Emotional Storytelling for free- spirited mothers & lovers. Custom Art that goes beyond traditional portraiture.

THE EXPERIENCE

Working with Alex Elaine

Thank you so much for finding your way here… I strongly believe that choosing a photographer is a very personal decision. And I am glad you saw something in my work that has moved you.

A photoshoot is always a collaboration between the photographer and the person in front of the camera. Our visions have to match, so that we can turn your memories into unique pieces of art.

I am a photographer to free- spirited mothers, families, newborns and couples looking for photos that go beyond traditional portraiture.

 

 

 

What...

... custom art

My clients come to me to have their story captured in images that evoke emotions and show more than their mere appearance. If you value artistic and authentic imagery, telling your story, you have come to the right place.

It is important for me, to let you know that I will dedicate myself, my art and talent completely into your session. And I can promise you this: I will never ask you to smile for the camera, but capture what is most important to you.

THIS IS WHAT YOU’VE WORKED SO HARD FOR.
THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.

 LET’S CAPTURE IT BEFORE IT’S GONE

Where...

... the location

Together we will pick the perfect location for your session and your needs: outdoor or in your own home. Both options are beautiful and you should make the choice based on on what you feel most comfortable with and what you are hoping to get out of your images.

I am based in Gstaad - Berner Oberland, but also offer sessions in and around Zürich on a monthly basis. Just contact me for details.

Inquire

ANSWER

I do not photograph traditional weddings or other events...

But I am most happy to do your engagement session, elopement or day after wedding photos. Please send me an email, so we can discuss options.

QUESTION

Will you travel to do a session for us?

ask me for travel dates

ANSWER

Please contact me, I am available for international travel.

QUESTION

What is the difference between a Storytelling and an Art Session?

contact me for more details

ANSWER

If we are doing a story telling session we will capture a series of images telling your story. There won't be any poses or forced smiles and things will evolve naturally during the session.

The goal of an Art Session is one single artistic portrait, for you to hang on your wall, just like a piece of art. This is why a portrait session is less dynamic and I will photograph you in 3-4 different poses, capturing your unique personality.
