New York Prints for Sale.

September 18, 2014

As some of you may know, I spent a week in New York from September 3 – 11. I am still battling the jet lag away (and a really bad cold), but New York was just lovely! It had been soooo long and I definitely got back in the vibe. I walked for hours every day and had a blast at my very first American wedding (more on this soon). Besides a long needed return to my favourite city (besides Berlin!), it was also my first real solo travel since becoming a mama. Being away from my little family did …

The #juergentellerassignment.

August 18, 2014

Oh damn, I’m so behind on everything. Mini-me’s fabulous caretaker took some well-deserved three weeks off for her summer vacation and we were left with a hyperactive and totally bored mini-me in Berlin. Literally, everything I have worked on is delayed or a total chaos. Dear super-mamas, I wish I was one of you. An almost two-year old is no joke to handle. In the supermarket. At Ikea. At breakfast. And dinner. At work. Oh my. To not collapse under a nervous break-down, we packed our stuff, borrowed a car and went to the little town that’s home to …

Life lately. #32/52

August 12, 2014

We basically spent last week in the forest, as you see in the pictures below. It was a slow and green and lovely week. We also went to Nürburgring for a day to watch vintage cars and I shot one of the best photos in a lifetime that day. I love it so much and keep looking at it, over and over again. It was the perfect moment and I am so grateful. The woods around our hometown are breathtaking. It literally seems like they are mystic virgin jungles. More than once I asked myself, why, as a child, …

Gesucht: Tolle Orte in Deutschland.

July 17, 2014

Gebt mir Tipps, für tolle Orte in Deutschland. Vorweg, ich habe mir etwas überlegt: Heute schreibe ich einfach mal auf Deutsch. Mein Blog war in den letzten Jahren ja so etwas wie mein persönliches Englisch-Bootcamp, aber immer wieder wird mir bewusst dass meine Leser ja nun wirklich vorrangig deutschsprachig sind (was auch an den Kommentaren deutlich wird). Natürlich gibt es auch viele internationale Leser, dadurch dass ich in den letzten Jahren so viel gereist bin und überall tolle Menschen kennengelernt und fotografiert habe. Und wenn ich ihnen gesagt habe, wo sie meine Bilder anschauen können, dann war ich auch …

All new and shiny.

July 7, 2014

I spent the past week, day and night, with this shiny new website and blog. It’s the first time I am working with content management (in words: wordpress) on my own site and it turns out to be great, easier and less fuzz, even though I am still slightly adjusting little bugs, day by day. Besides that this is what I dreamed of: A very clean, minimal >>website<< that’s easy to manage and update with an integrated >>blog<<. For potential clients to look at my photos and the option to read some of the stories along. And for my …

Dear Pentax. (a crisis)

April 2, 2014

Dear Pentax, it’s been a long love story between you and me. You were the first analogue slr camera I picked up as a teenager and actually felt comfortable with. You were with me from the beginning on. With you, I took my first shaky selfies in the bathroom, back in the US during my exchange school year. I love your handling, I love your look and I love the photos you give me, over and over again. We went digital together, after our first analogue baby got stolen in >>Southern France<<. I was always happy with you, …

Life lately. #13/52

April 1, 2014

So after the sick week follows an almost healthy one. I worked my ass off these past days to catch up and actually got most of my stuff done. I spent a sunny saturday on a boat cruising Müggelsee and the lakes around with a group of drunken girls, which was absolutely amazing and so (!) relaxing. April will be good to me job-wise and will even involve a bit of travelling. While editing the past week’s photo shoots, I’m boosting my immune system with yellow, red and green smoothies and I really enjoy the beautiful weather outside. My eye …

The Geekettes.

March 5, 2014

In February I met up with Jess Erickson and Denise Philipp – the fabulous founders of the amazing >>Geekettes<< movement to connect women in tech – to take their >>portrait<<. They have been super successful in Berlin and Germany and are now >>expanding<< the Geekettes all over the world. Cheers girls, and congratulations! Photo: Carolin Weinkopf

Istanbul, Turkey.

November 28, 2013

Istanbul had been on my top travel list for years, but somehow I never made it there. On my way to Macedonia right after finding out I was >>pregnant<< almost two years ago, I actually had a >>10 hour stopover<< there, but hey, I definitely had other things in mind that day, and couldn’t enjoy the city that much, plus it was only a few hours in a rush. This year we took Turkish Airlines to and from >>Oman<< and both times had a stopover in Istanbul (plus a really annoying extra stop in Bahrain we didn’t know about…). …
