I was born and raised in a charming Austrian hamlet near Salzburg, and now I proudly call myself an Angelino (LA Local), juggling life with my husband, our daughter, and Rosie—the chocolate lab who’s convinced every camera is pointed at her.

For me, photography and storytelling are all about purpose, kindness, and genuine human connection, with a healthy splash of humor.

My years as an actor—both onstage and in front of the camera—have been invaluable in helping me direct talent. I know how to speak their language, build trust, and treat actors with the respect and empathy I’d want myself (snack breaks included).

I especially love working with kids. What excites me most is capturing unfiltered moments—not just laughter and smiles, but also quiet, thoughtful looks and sparks of wonder. Like adults, kids have rich inner worlds, and the most magical shots often happen in those in-between moments of honesty, curiosity, or awe. No one should ever feel pressured to fake a smile. It’s truly beautiful when little one's are simply themselves the instant the shutter clicks. For me, this process is as healing as it is inspiring.

So let’s keep connecting, stay kind and delightfully real—misplaced shoes, thoughtful frowns, chocolate lab photobombs and all.
