Hi, I’m Nadja

Portrait and Lifestyle Photographer

I’m a daughter, a sister, a proud aunt to the most amazing little boy, a photographer, a listener, and many other things.

My family is everything to me and I love them without measure.

Born and brought up in East Germany, I started travelling and exploring on my own when I was 16. I moved to Florida for one year when I was 20 to be an AuPair, lived in L.A., Atlanta, and Kuala Lumpur for work. Met the most amazing people on these journeys. My passion for photography brought me to Melbourne which I now call my home.

I love telling stories through the lens of my camera. I love to capture those intimate and personal moments between loved once. Photographing couples and families in their natural environment is my passion. I enjoy going with my clients on little story telling adventures and a whole lot of fun together.

People who have no reservations on opening up and showing their honest love and personalities are my jam! But if you're quiet or a little more reserved, that's okay! I know exactly what being shy is like and I do my best to make you feel awesome and super comfortable in front of my camera.

You be you and I'll be me!

I can’t wait to meet you!

Fun Facts:

I’m awake without coffee.

I love listening to Angus & Julia Stone, Bright Eyes, Iron and Wine, Kings of Convenience, Harrison Storm, Mumford and Sons, Bon Iver, and my all time favourite Pearl Jam.

My weakness is Nutella Swirl Ice Cream.

I love going to the market on the weekend for fresh fruit and veggies.

A day without cheese is a sad day.

Once upon a time I played Capoeira for a few years.

Rock climbing makes me happy.

I value people and experiences over things.

My mom’s home made marmalade is THE BEST!

Going away on a little weekend hike let’s me breath

Laughing until tears run down my face is my secret medicine.

I’m really good at making snow angels.
