Because nothing is better than real life.

Life offers so many beautiful, inimitable, funny, sad and tender moments. Let’s tell your family story - the real one!

Our lives are a smorgasbord of thousands of little stories

Do you look back at your archive of family photos and are immediately transported to the places where you grew up - the walls of your childhood bedroom (including the posters of your favourite boyband), your favourite (but long-forgotten) stuffies and that dinner table where you had so many meals, and fights, with your parents and siblings.

When I look back at the few family photos I have, it takes me back to the allotment garden of my grandparents, sitting under the cherry tree with my Opa eating Oma’s most delicious cherry cake. Or the kitchen in the flat I grew up in, where most day started with strawberry jam or Nutella on toast, where my mum and I did endless amounts of craft projects and where I stared out the window every winter morning hoping for the first snow.

These photographs are our proof - that life wasn’t always easy or perfect, that we often got lost in the marathon of the everyday, but in the end, those little ordinary moments are what mattered most.

“Nadja's photography session struck a beautiful balance between feeling like a friend was over for coffee, and blending into the furniture to capture those special candid moments. She was great with the kids, taking the time to build rapport and trust.”

“Thank you for working your magic behind the camera and capturing beautiful moments of my boys and our family. Your calm presence put my kids at ease and allowed their individual personalities to shine through.”
