Our Workflow

1. Setting up the Intention: Physical or Online Meeting

Let's dive into a dynamic session where we connect and open up to our creativity. 

What would you like to capture?  What is your message, your story, your heart felt product? What is the intention of our session? 

I am here to listen, and help you bring your work, your essence and you -  in the most beautiful way.

Here, our preparation begins, and I will start listing the essential tools needed for the session. 

Through the preparation process and the session - I will guide you to get in touch with our own unique essence of you or your product. 

2. The Preparation

I'll dive into creating a vibrant moodboard for our session, pooling together an array of photographs/films/images as an inspiration for the look. 

Also, you'll receive a technical document from me, outlining a palette of colors and textures which work well on camera. 

And... as I prepare my technical tools and plan our shoting day  - it's your turn to prepare your incredible outfits!

We'll collaborate on setting a good shooting schedule, timing, and finding locations to ensure a beautiful and memorable experience. I often recommend  minimum two locations/backrounds and 2-6 outfits for one session. 

3. The Session

It is time to meet and bring our ideas to life. We follow our pre-visualized concept, while also remaining open to the life and inspiration around us.

I bring my openness, my camera, and lighting equipment, music, and together we will capture some beautiful memories.

A typical one day session takes:

4 - 8 hours

(+ transport ) 

4. The Final exchange 

After the session, I color grade the best and chosen photographs (I usually select 35-100 great photographs from one day session) and deliver them to you within 10 days.

I delicately enhance colours  and moods and skin-tones after your request. I do not remove significant blemishes or wrinkles, but if you require any post-production changes, please inform me before the session. I can edit the photographs up to 2 times within 21 days from the photosession. 

Once graded - the photographs are entirely yours. You will receive a Dropbox link with all the final chosen and edited photographs. I might request permission to feature a few on my portfolio.

You have the option to split the payment into 2 instalments and pay over two months. 

You'll receive an invoice, making it easy to deduct the cost from your artist & company expenses.


I am located in Copenhagen, and the sessions can take place in the greater Copenhagen area, in your home, outdoors or in a professional Photo studio (+ additional 700 DKK for 3 hours).
