Not just a lens,
a witness to the moment.
I don't believe in forced smiles or perfect poses. I believe in stillness, tension, laughter, connection, whatever's real in the moment. That's what lasts. That's what photography is for.

This is me.
Most days, you'll find me with a camera in one hand and a sandwich in the other, barefoot, chasing light, or laughing at something fun I spotted.
I photograph people because I genuinely like people, everyone has a story to tell. And I believe that even the quietest moments are worth remembering, not because they're posed, but because they're true.
SE Fotografie isn't a brand. It's a reflection. Of connection, vulnerability, art and a little bit of fun along the way. Photography isn't meant to be hard, its supposed to be genuine.
The Path to Now
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a thread of moments that shaped the way I see, shoot, and serve.
2015
First Camera, First Curiosity
I bought my first DSLR, took 300 photos of a single afternoon and something shifted. It wasn't about photography. It was about presence.
2016
The First Paid Session
A family friend's Family portrait. I undercharged, overdelivered, and knew I wanted to keep doing this forever.
2017
SE Fotografie Becomes Real
I named it. Shared it. Claimed the vision. Built a brand around connection, not perfection.
2019
Refined Direction
Narrowed to portraits only. Leaned into light, emotion, and narrative over noise. This is where I belong.
2022
More than a Hobby
I knew that this was my passion and realized how people enjoyed the moments I captured.
2025
Present Day
My eye for detail continues and I am always open to creating a story from the beautiful moments in peoples lives.
What I Believe
Photography isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, perspective, and honesty. These are the truths I work by.
Connection over composition. Every time.
The quietest photos say the most.
Light tells the truth. I just follow it.
You don’t need to pose. You just need to be present.
If this speaks to you,
I'd be honored to photograph your story.
You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to pose. You just have to be present. I'll take care of the rest.
