Some people think personal branding photos need to feel polished or “perfect”.But what matters much more is that they feel true.This session with Tamara, a celebrant (Traurednerin) in Zurich, was all about that.She was in the process of building her new website, so we planned the session with that in mind — creating images for different sections and making sure everything felt cohesive and aligned.Her work is deeply emotional and personal — and the images needed to reflect exactly that. Not distant or overly staged, but connected and real.We photographed her in her home, where she writes and prepares for the ceremonies she creates, and by Lake Zurich — a place that naturally connects to her work and the people she serves.Because authenticity is not just about how something looks, but where it comes from.We created scenes that reflect her real work and guided each moment in a way that still felt natural and true to her.That balance is what makes images feel both intentional and authentic.If you’re thinking about your own branding photos, this is something to keep in mind:It’s not about performing.It’s about creating the right environment for something real to come through.What would you want your images to express about you and your work?#brandingzurich#personalbrandingzurich#creativeswitzerland#smallbusinessbranding#personalbrandingphotography

3 Tips for your Newborn Photography Session📆 When to schedule your sessionYou may have heard that you should schedule your newborn session within the first 2 weeks after giving birth. While this is more important for posed newborn sessions where your baby needs to be asleep for posing, I would still recommend scheduling your session early for a lifestyle newborn session as well, for the following reasons: a) newborns change and grow SO fast, so capture them in all their tinyness early!b) many newborns develop newborn acne, which usually appears between 2-5 weeks of age.👗 What to wearSimple is best. Comfort is key. Keep colors neutral - but don’t be afraid to add a little bit of color! Whites, creams, grey, and subdued colors always photograph the best and make for timeless images. Try and avoid bright and bold colors, super dark colors like black and dark blue, and shirts with large logos on them because all that can take away from the overall feel and look of your images. We want the focus to be on you and your little one, not what your shirt said! 😉🪄 How to prepPlease do not feel the need to clean your entire house before the session. I’m a mom too, of two rather messy girls. So literally nothing scares me. 😂 However, if you can, try and declutter items on counters/floors in the spaces you’d like me to photograph in. Less is more when it comes to newborn sessions. Something else to consider: your bedding. Your big bed is usually a great place to photograph you snuggling with your newborn, however bedding in bright and bold colors will cast shadows and colors on skin, leaving a tint of whatever color the blanket is. So if you can, keep it simple and plain. Whites and creams are always ideal to ensure aesthetically pleasing images to the eye.If possible, try and keep your house a bit warmer than usual. Babies love being warm and cuddly and when the house is cold, they’ll let you know if they don’t like it.Lastly, and most importantly: relax!! We will go with the flow and follow your baby‘s lead, take feeding breaks as needed. You can just focus on enjoying your little one, and let me capture your wonder! 😍

Better late than never…My year had a … let‘s say ‚interesting‘ start: in our family, we had a broken ankle right on January 1st (not me), a stomach bug in the first week (me), a case of the flu (not me), a cancelled photography-trip (me)…Nevertheless I‘m convinced that 2026 will be a GREAT year! And I‘m looking forward to telling your stories and creating memories with you! 😍#familienfotografiezürich#zürichfotografie#ninatantzenphotography#familienfotoszürich#newbornphotographerzurichneugeborenenfotografiezürichfamilyphotographerzurichfotografinzürichzürichfamilienfotografinswissfamilyphotographerswissphotographerzurichphotographerfamilyphotoshootzurichfotoshootingzurichpersonalbrandingfotoszürichpersonalbrandingphotoszurichpersonalbrandingzürich

There‘s a kind of magic in actually holding your memories - not just scrolling through them!The weight of the pages, the sound as they turn, the way a single image can take you right back…A coffee table album isn’t just a collection of pictures. It’s a story you can touch.Something to pass around, to revisit, to keep close.And as the season of giving approaches, it’s also one of the most meaningful gifts you can share - your memories, lovingly crafted into something you can hold.#familienfotografie#familienfotografiezürich #zürichfotografie#ninatantzenphotography#familienfotoszürich#familienfotoshooting#zürichfotograf#lifestylephotography#familienlifestylefotografie#fotografinzürich #familienzeit#zurichfamilyphotographer#photosessionzurich#familyphotoszurich#zurichphotographer#baselfamilyphotographer#familyphotosbasel#familienfotosbasel#
