Bye Bye Gypsy*Diaries!

I'm writing this post with such mixed emotions... it's hard to close a chapter but knowing that it's not the end but the beginning of something bigger, brighter and shiner makes me happy and excited. 

I have changed a lot since I started this blog. Two years ago I was lost, unhappy and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. Since than, partly due to  G*D and your support, I've found my passion and I realized that I was born to be a photographer. I'm happy, confident and more excited for what the future holds than ever!

As I felt that Gypsy*Diaries wasn't the appropriate place to document my photography journey I've started a new blog, En Route a few months ago. The things I enjoy sharing there are my photography work, my journey of becoming self employed and getting my company settled one step at a time, my inspirations, my travels, my professional experiences and yeah an ocassional personal rambling post.... ;) En Route is my new baby and over the last couple of months the love I had for G*D has shifted to it. As the new year has rolled in I've decided to focus on things that I truly love, things that help me reach my future goals and dreams and the En Route blog is just that! It's a bit more adult, it's a bit more sophisticated but it's equally fun and entertaining, especially if you are passionate about photography like I am! ;)

With that said, I'll no longer be posting on Gyspy*Diaries the blog, twitter or facebook account but instead I really really hope you'll keep following me at my new online home over at the En Route blog, the En Route Facebook page, Twitter handle and I hope you'll think of me when you get engaged! ;) 

I'D LOVE TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WEDDING!!! Wherever you are or you'll be!

There is no greater feeling than finding what you love and passionate about in life, so if you haven't find it yet, keep looking!!! I promise it will be worth it!

“You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.” - Steve Jobs

With as much virtual love as possible,

November Photography Roundup

November has gone by in a split second... Even though I've been busy settling in Barcelona, I've tried to get as much work done as possible in the meantime. I'm really happy to have completed one of my biggest goals for the month, which was finishing the En Route Website! Here is a peek of what I've been working on in November. (For more please visit the En Route blog or click on the pictures)

The En Route Website

It's been one of my biggest goals this month to finish working on the En Route website. My photography blog has been up and running for months, but I really wanted a professional, real website to provide a portfolio of my favorite works as well. I couldn't be happier with the result! ;) There are still some minor changes to be done here and there, but overall it's 99% complete. A gigantic thank you goes out to Promise Tangeman for designing such an AWESOME Showit website for me! It perfectly embodies my brand and style and I cannot wait to work with her on future projects as well. The girl is a design genious, be sure to check out her blog & designs if you haven't already!

This little business of mine is starting to get really established! I'm an official entrepreneur, I have a professional blog and website and clients are slowly starting to pour in as well! ;) If you know of anyone getting married within the next year be sure to send them my way! You know I love to travel and I cannot wait to start shooting more weddings all over Europe and beyond! <3

October Photography Roundup

October has been a month full of excitement and emotions, one that I will never forget for sure! In spite of moving to Barcelona, I´ve worked hard on my photography business and I´m hoping to launch my official website in November too. Here is what I´ve been up to on En Route this month:

I´ve published some homey, very sweet family portraits I took in Vienna, Austria...

... and some fall inspired outdoor pictures of the same family.

I gave a sneak peek of a beauty session that is still to be published in November.

I´ve shared the results of a very nice birthday gift by a gorgeous soon to be momma.

I loved shooting these two lovebirds who I met last year in Egypt! They came to Berlin for their engagement session and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in Hungary next summer!

I still had a few images to share from my stay in Dublin with this hot little family including these marina  images...

... and these adorable shots of baby Sebastian.

Kiki´s fashion inspired shoot was so much fun to work on!

While Bonnie´s bridal images are probably the ones that I´m most proud of in my portfolio to date! It was such an honor that these images were featured in Rock n  Roll Bride (one of my favorite wedding blogs!).

Be sure to check out my spankin´new En Route promo video if you haven´t already!

Here is to a productive November! ;)

En Route Promo Video

I´m still in flathunting hell mode and spend most days walking around Barcelona like a crazy person visiting 5-8 apartments a day. It´s an exhausting process which didn´t allow me to blog too much this week. So far it´s going great though! I´m getting to know the city, meeting new and old friends, visiting exhibitions and I even saw a catalan play in the theatre! 

To make up for the lack of posts I´ve decided to share my final En Route promo video with you guys. World premiere!!! ;) I absolutely HATE myself on video, but oh well, hello! this is me! I hope you like it!

En Route Video Peek

I can hardly believe that this is my last weekend in Berlin! This week have been full of packing, arranging, organizing, gooodbyes and nice dinners... and 2 suitcases and 7 boxes later I´m almost ready to go! One of the things I had to cross off my to do list was to sit down with my videographer and edit the mini En Route promo video we shot in Berlin 2 weeks ago. It´s almost finished! Here are a few sneak peeks from the shoot, you can also check out the bridal images I shot on top of this breathtaking penthouse in Berlin on the En Route blog here. Full video coming next week! ;) Have a great weekend!
