Switzerland Family Photographer: Bürgenstock Vacation Portraits
This vacation photography session was taken a few years back in Bürgenstock area in Luzern, Switzerland. The family were looking for a Switzerland family photographer to document their stay in this beautiful swiss mountain resort and contacted me to take relaxed natural looking family portraits, framed by the typical countryside views.
This year most of us have spent more time at home than traveling. Have you also done some house or business work that hasn’t been a priority before? I have redesigned my website and am really determined to start blogging again and finally sharing many of the family photography sessions archived on my hard drives.

We spent the morning together exploring the area around, all of us admiring the views, greeting local cows and visiting the famous chapel where Audrey Hepburn got married.
Buergenstock hotel has the most beautiful panoramic terrace, overlooking the lake of Lucerne and luscious green countryside, framed with the mountains.
The area boasts with plenty of walks I am looking forward to try out myself this summer. Yellow post signs and post buses are so typical in Switzerland. And so well organized!
If you are planning your holiday in Switzerland anytime soon, drop me a line. I am based in Lugano, but I also cover Luzern and Zurich areas, too!
PS. A year later I was back to photograph another family at the Bürgenstock resort. Referrals is the best feedback I could ever ask for!
Valentine's Love Story Photography, Lugano Switzerland
It was great planning this couple's storytelling portrait session in a spectacular location overlooking Lugano Lake, Switzerland. We brainstormed some ideas, the location overlooking Lugano Lake, and the result is exactly as envisioned - meaningful portraits of two people in love. Isn’t it a perfect gift for Valentine's Day during a romantic getaway in Ticino?
When I was contacted to shoot this session, I was well aware my website is dominated by children and family photography with couple and engagement sessions here and there. To me, family photography embraces it all - starting with couples, moving to maternity and newborns, babies and eventually action filled family sessions I like so much. Love is love and moments are moments.

Family Portraits
Family photography session for four siblings
I love traveling for work. It's always exciting to meet new families in new places. There is a certain pressure to produce great work without having met the family beforehand, in a new environment with a limit of time. Add in unfavorable weather conditions and it’s what I had for this family session in London.
As it started raining when I arrived, we started shooting indoors and the most important image without a doubt, is the portrait of all four siblings.
After the official part the drizzle stopped and we got out to have some fun and climb the trees, for a documentary storytelling part of the session.
Family lunch event photography Lugano
Beautifully styled cosy and festive family lunch
I love family get together's. This was a lovely format, too. I'd got invited to capture storytelling images from a family lunch, they do it every year. I had photographed the family before a few times for various occasions and it was lovely to capture also grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all together. Before I prepare a longer blog post, please have a look at the beautiful set up!
And isn't it lovely to see your photography albums on display around the house? I love the choice of cover colors the mom made, perfectly complementing the interior of their stunning home.
Lifestyle Family Portrait Photographer Lugano: Mountain River Magic
It was a beautiful autumn morning in Lugano. We were lucky with warm(ish) weather and golden colors of leaves. Met this family for their Portrait Day photography session on location for the first time, but the photos make me feel I've known them for years.

Family storytelling photography: window as a prop
I started photographing this family back in the early days of my photography journey. We make sure we meet once a year, always in summer, always the same location. And always at least a couple of moments captured on the window. It's become a tradition. So powerful to be the photographer, to be part of a family tradition.
Lugano holiday photographer: exploring Lugano with kids
I love Lugano. Since I first saw the mountains surrounding the lake, covered in the green rug of trees, it was love at first sight. I've been living here for a while now and have been taking photos in local parks and playgrounds, but never really exploring the city centre itself. Lately I've been contacted by Middle-Eastern clients for engagement or honeymoon photography in Lugano and our beautiful green parks, I thought why not offer it as a special package '❤️ Lugano'.

Fotografa Lugano: Fall Family Photography Sessions
A little overview of what I've been up to for the last couple of weeks. Autumn in Ticino is the best for family photography. It's still warm, colors are gorgeous and as a photographer, I swear by autumn light in Lugano. I've been running a few sets of Fall Portrait Days (also known as mini sessions) in October. November will be concentrated on custom tailored family sessions.
Family Photographer Lugano: portraits with grandparents
I love the challenge of having big extended families in front of my camera, so I was very excited to find out the grandparents of this family were visiting Lugano during our photography session. I love how we can see the personality of each child and how much they enjoy spending time with the family. It doesn't even feel like I was there!
And one more of four boys and their gorgeous mom.
Oysters and Champagne
Monday morning started well at a charming The View Lugano Boutique Hotel. Beautiful food in a wonderful place - a true inspiration.
Just imagine waking up to this...

1st Birthday Party Photography Lugano: happy moments
I took portraits of this cutie when she was just 17 days old. There are certain moments of her at that age that look exactly like when she turns one. It was great to be part of this grand celebration. The party took place at the lounge of Tabla - Mediterranian /indian food restaurant in Lugano. The food was great, the entertainment was superb. Martino from i Burloni certainly knows how to keep the kids busy and smiling.

Fotografo famiglie Lugano: i ritratti lifestyle
Autumn is my favorite time to photograph families. It's such a beautiful time of the year here in Ticino. The light is beautiful, the colors of the trees change with every weekend session. It's still warm, but not too hot. No wonder it's the busiest time of the year for family photography. It's never too early to start planning the gifts for the holiday season. Yes, I just said that. But I didn't mention the C word just yet. I'll wait until gets colder and the snow starts covering the surrounding mountains.
Here is a little preview from a recent round of mini sessions. I love this family! Can't wait to share more!

Children lifestyle photographer Lugano: 4 years & 4 months
There are days that go by without me switching on my camera. I definitely need some sort of daily project, I can't let this go away undocumented. Just look at those two little monkeys. They will grow up tomorrow and all I will have is this memory.
