Portrait photo shoots for singles, couples or families
as well as business portraits

After recently having a third child, I finally fulfilled a long, sought after wish: a family photo shooting. After the birth of our youngest son, I seized the opportunity and made an appointment with Barbara Sigg, one of the best portrait photographers Zurich has to offer. "If not now, then when?" I thought to myself.

So on the likely single rainy Saturday of the summer-of-the-century, we arrived at her studio at Schulhausstrasse in Enge, somewhat intimidated by the unfamiliar atmosphere. In particular, the room with the white screen, lit solely by photo lamps left the children a first great impression. But as soon as Barbara greeted us in her warm, unobtrusive way, there was a welcoming, intimate air. Shortly after the children discovered a few props including fungi, a spotted stool, and a royal chair they could hardly wait for the shooting.

Barbara then questions our preferences: black or white background, color or black-and-white photos and the configurations we prefer. We opt for the white background, colored, and black and white photographs as well as multiple combinations - the family as a whole, of course, children with mum, dad and children, then the young men alone without their elders.

It took less than a couple of minutes with all the clowning around and Barbara taking the shots. I thought to myself, there can't be any decent images. I wonder whether she captured at least one image where we all look reasonably sensible without any pulled faces or grimaces? But as could be seen the following day, we received a number of pictures where we, not only look quite decent, but somehow perfectly staged.

On my computer I click through the images, which have been created with much humor and warmth, that I truly cherish. Of course I couldn't just leave it at that and I send a few shots to a girlfriend, who also had a family shooting in mind. With conviction I write to her and recommend Barbara wholeheartedly. I've made up my mind: from now on every summer when the family is relaxed after the holidays and are all nicely tanned, we'll appear again before her camera.
