What Clients Say
In their own words
During the shoot, Justine guided me in a friendly way, so that we managed to get several beautiful photos in just 20 minutes. I’m not exactly the most photogenic person, but in these photos I see myself, and I’m very happy with the result. She also has a clear and well-designed online portal, where every step of the selection and delivery process for the photos is transparently explained.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Mostly it comes down to how much time you’d like and how many photos you want to keep. Essential is perfect for a handful of strong portraits; Classic and Extended give us room to try more spots and moods; Signature is the slow, unhurried version with the biggest gallery. For a profile picture or a CV, Headshots is the quick option. Not sure? Tell me what the photos are for and I’ll suggest one.
Whatever you feel most like yourself in — the favourite jumper beats the new outfit you’re unsure about. Plain colours and soft textures work better than big logos or busy patterns. Feel free to bring a second top or jacket in any package; quick changes are easy. I’m also happy to look at a few photos beforehand and help you choose.
That’s completely fine — most people don’t. Tell me what you like: old town streets, the river, forest, fields, or somewhere indoors. I’ll suggest a few places around Heidelberg and the Rhein-Neckar region that suit you and the time of year.
Yes, and yes. Partners, best friends, siblings, parents, children and dogs are all welcome, whether they’re keeping you company or in the photos with you. Just tell me how many of you there’ll be, so I can plan the right amount of time. Planning a wedding? An Essential or Classic couples session counts toward your Half Day or Full Day wedding package.
Yes — for any package. You’ll receive a printable voucher, and the person you give it to books their date whenever suits them. Vouchers are valid for 1 year.
We decide together on the day before. If the weather’s really bad, we move the shoot to a new date at no cost. If you need to reschedule for another reason, let me know 3 days before and we’ll find a new date free of charge.
Every photo is edited for light, colour and a natural finish. I’ll soften temporary things like a blemish or a stray hair — the point is that you recognise yourself. If there’s something specific you’d like me to look at, just tell me.
Yes, for personal use — social media, LinkedIn, a CV, a dating profile, printing and framing. If you need portraits for business marketing, like adverts, press or a company website, that’s covered by my business packages.
Only if you want them to — and you decide the details. After the shoot you can fill in a short release where you choose which photos I may show and where: my website, Instagram, both, or neither. Saying no changes nothing about your price or your gallery, and if you change your mind later, I’ll take them down.
