Hi, I'm Lena
I'm a creative mind and documentary wedding, couple and people photographer from Hamburg. I started photography when I was 16. That means I feel comfortable holding a camera for more than 13 years now. I was always the more introvert and quiet girl with the big camera – the artsy one.

What Inspires me:
My Why
Let's get personal
I rarely leave the house without a camera and love to capture simple days and small moments. I usually have a small point and shoot film camera with me and whenever I see something that somehow fascinates me, I photograph it. Also I create yearbooks with all kinds of pictures taken during one year. Sometimes I sit down and dig through these old photos and suddenly all the emotions start coming out again. My aim is to help you feel the same when looking at pictures of your life. I still find it magical that it is possible to reconstruct a life in snapshots. And it‘s so worth it.
For me, photography is all about telling stories - personal stories, the most important memories to cherish forever. Small moments, details, home and far away places.... I document things I see and want to remember. It doesn‘t always have to be the big celebrations, rather it‘s the little everyday stories or journeys that I want to capture. I love to tell stories in an authentic and honest way that evokes emotion even years later. My biggest goal is to create moments that will live on for generations.
The reason I picked up a camera in 2008 and bought my first „professional“ (not really, it was a Nikon D40 with kit lens) camera was because I wanted to capture memories in better quality than I could with my crappy digital camera, because it was important to me. Of course, I also took a lot of really bad images of flowers and weird things, but I still have all the important images from back then.
