This is what we make.
The rest of this page explains how.
THE EXPERIENCE
What actually happens
You arrive at The Aviary. There's a cocktail waiting, a rail of velvet and brocade, and a make-up artist who has strong opinions and excellent taste.
We take our time. Hair, make-up, wardrobe — you'll try things you'd never pull off in daily life, which is precisely the point. The wardrobe has centuries of drama hanging in it. Borrow as much as you like.
Then we shoot. I work with Baroque light, Pre-Raphaelite storytelling, and Renaissance composition — which is a fancy way of saying: this isn't a photoshoot. It's a painting session that happens to use a camera.
You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to be photogenic. That's my job, and I've never once needed a client's help with it.
THE SESSIONS
Two ways in
Two ways in, one destination — sessions and prints together usually land somewhere in this range:
€1.5k–3k
TOTAL INVESTMENT
Here's where you start.
01
Atelier Day
The full production. Your day starts at 11am and belongs entirely to you: hair and make-up throughout, multiple looks from the wardrobe, a cocktail, and pizza — because art takes time and nobody creates well while hungry.
We build several distinct worlds over the course of the day. If you've ever wanted an entire gallery of yourself rather than a single portrait, this is how that happens.
€1,650 SESSION FEE
02
Vollkommen
The concentrated version. Three focused hours: professional make-up, full wardrobe access, and one world, built properly.
Ideal if there's a specific feeling you've been carrying around that deserves to exist as an image.
If this is your first time in front of a camera like this, start here.
You don't need experience for this. Posing skills are, refreshingly, not the point.
€560 SESSION FEE
Groups are welcome — the Atelier Day is what I mean when I say girls' night. Two or three works beautifully; if your coven is bigger, write me first and we'll design something custom.
THE ARTWORK
Prints & collections
After your session, we meet again — privately, online — and go through your images together. This is where you choose what becomes art. I'll be there to help, though most clients find the difficult part isn't choosing what to keep, but what to let go.
There's no minimum. Some clients leave with three pieces, some with fifteen. We'll find yours together at the selection appointment.
Every piece is produced as a 20 × 30 cm fine art print and comes with its full digital version. Most of my work is printed on Museum Etching, a heavy, uncoated paper with real texture, the kind you'd expect under a watercolour. Some series ask for something rougher still, closer to true watercolour stock — a call I make from years advising galleries on exactly this.
Larger formats are where this work truly lives — a large-format piece above the sofa, a wall that stops conversation.
These aren't files on a hard drive. They're works that hang on walls.
Complete wall arrangement
A curated wall of your finest pieces, arranged as the gallery it deserves to be. I design the composition for you: the formats, the arrangement, the way the images speak to each other. Delivered with a hanging plan, ready for the wall that's been waiting for it.

Collection of 15
THE CHOICE MOST CLIENTS MAKE
Fifteen pieces: enough to tell the whole story of the day, with nothing you'll regret leaving behind.
€1,950
Collection of 10
The essential edit. Ten pieces, tightly curated.
€1,400
Smaller collections are available — we'll talk through everything at your selection appointment, including sizes, formats, and wall pieces. The collections above are simply where most stories end up.
Most clients leave with a collection of 10 - 15 pieces.
All artwork is chosen after the session — you'll never pay for images you haven't seen.
Ida’s witchcraft is that she can draw a work of art that is both authentic and aspirational out of even camera-shy souls like me. It’s a wonder to look at myself through her lens and feel gorgeous.
