Life of A

With all this hustle and bustle around the Christmas season there's one thing we definitely should not forget - preparing gifts for our loved ones! So, if you have some time on your hands – crafty gifts are always appreciated for the time and effort that’s gone into them. Also, I prefer to buy local to support the small local shops, businesses and community in general. Nice idea would be to make the gift giving season last longer with a subscription to something your loved one will enjoy all year round - a monthly magazine, for example.

And here's what I know for sure: rather than buying physical items which end up cluttering up the house, choose an experience you can enjoy together later on in the year. For example, tickets to see a favorite band, gift vouchers for a spa treatment or a loved restaurant, membership to a charity or historical gardens – all make really thoughtful presents and memories that can be treasured forever.

This holiday season I too have decided to help making your loved ones happy, cherished and pampered a bit, so from now on I'm offering gift certificates that entitle their owners to a photo shoot, be it either a family or a couple, outdoors or studio, event or lifestyle - everything is possible, just ask! All certificates are customized, made with love and care, on request they may either contain a money value or a themed session option, a name of a giver or recipient (or both), and so much more... Available in 4 languages and what I find best is that they have no expiry date, meaning they can be used literally any time! I was asked on several occasions previously if a gift voucher was an option on my web site, and even before I had this offer available I sold 5 of them, so I think it's about time I make it official. After all, I am a small local business entrepreneur who offers an exciting experience resulting in memorable photos, and you might need to buy a descent present these days, so why not?

Christmas shopping can seem like an enormous task sometimes – with the minefield of who to buy for, how much to spend and what to buy. But it shouldn’t be stressful – gift buying, wrapping and giving should be a joy. Don't forget about that and happy shopping, everyone!

Yours, Anna

Sunday, October 14th

10:00-11:30, ➡️~~11:30-13:00~~, ➡️~~13:00-14:30~~, ➡️~~14:30-16:00~~, ➡️~~16:00-17:30~~

Photographing autumn colors can be the most fun you have with your camera, especially if you’re into photography both as a photographer or as a model. Ask anyone who’s into it - you’ll hear that fall is a great time of year for photography. There’s an unlimited number of sights, sounds and smells to stimulate your senses. After all, it gets really easy to pick a great subject to display and dress it up with the fabulous colors of the fall season. This is a very emotional time of year. What you feel when the day is overcast will be different than when the day is bright and sunny, but photos you’ll take, either moody or filled with vibrant colors, will most definitely be awesome.

Fall is all about moods and emotions, so they make it the best time to produce some of the finest photographs a photographer can take in a first place. So I’ve decided to use it too, and here I am, offering you another mini photo shoot that will take place on October 14th in a most scenic location one can imagine when thinking about Swiss autumn. It’s reachable by car in 2h drive from Zurich (1h drive from Chur) and is completely free of charge. There’s no restaurants or playgrounds in the area, but there’s plenty of space for a family picnic around the lake and a nice and easy walk around it and to the nearest village as well.

This will be the fifth and final outdoor “photo day” I’m organizing this year (but again, there’s Christmas mini’s coming soon, so stay tuned), and I’m very much looking forward to it! As always, each client gets his 1,5 h photo session in one of the time slots mentioned above, and I make sure everyone gets all the nice photos we take and stays safe, happy and warm in the process ;) Feel free to scroll down this blog to find out more about the past photo shoots in the same format, the only difference is that those didn’t include gorgeous fall colors, mirror-like lake reflections and splendid Alps in a background!
