Behind the camera
Hello, I’m Maria.
I am a portrait photographer based in Lucerne, specializing in maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography. With more than a decade of experience, and as a mother of two, I understand how quickly everyday moments become family history.
Over the years, I have photographed families from many countries and cultures here in Switzerland. Every family brings a story worth remembering. As a mother, I know how quickly childhood passes, and I love creating photographs that let you hold on to these precious years and return to them together for generations.
I would be glad to photograph your family.
