Hi, I'm Janine...
Fotografin in Bern, schweizweit und Ausland
I am truly delighted that your path has led you here.
It's great that you're here and interested in me and my work.
Photography is more than just a craft for me. It's a language that helps us understand the moments often overlooked in everyday life. I believe in the power of quiet, genuine moments—the small, subtle details that often happen in the background but speak volumes. As a photographer, I accompany you through these moments, capturing the stories you share. It's not just about the image, but about what it tells: the love, the laughter, the intimacy, the life itself.
I don't work from a script. My photography isn't staged, it isn't planned – it happens in the moment. You don't have to be perfect or pretend. What matters to me is what makes you unique, what connects you. My pictures reflect reality – not an idealized version of it.
It's important to me that you feel comfortable in front of my camera. That you can open up, that you don't have to prepare anything, but simply let the moment and the people you share it with speak for themselves. Because true, honest pictures are created where you can be yourselves.
Every photoshoot is a journey of discovery for me – a new story waiting to be told. I look forward to getting to know you and capturing your story in pictures.

...the soul behind, Moonstories Photography.
My philosophy...
Authentic stories, told in warm light.
I photograph weddings, couples and elopements in Switzerland and throughout Europe - with a focus on genuine emotions, natural moments and a timeless, cinematic aesthetic.
I describe my style as a blend of documentary photography and emotional storytelling. I observe, accompany, and capture – without staging. At the same time, I pay attention to light, movement, and atmosphere so that each image tells your story exactly as it felt.
I believe that the most beautiful pictures are created when you are simply being yourselves.
Whether you're laughing, running, dancing, or even silent – it's all part of your story. I capture these moments as they truly happen. Honestly, emotionally, and with a touch of magic.
- IN LOVE WITH THE SMALL
THINGS OF LIFE -
How would I describe myself?
Cheerful, curious, sometimes a little chaotic – and always on the lookout for genuine connections. I love deep conversations that create a bond, and I'm fascinated by people and cultures, especially when traveling. The sea is my sanctuary. It calms me down and reminds me to simply be. A big dream of mine is to one day live by the sea.
I live in Burgdorf, Bern, with my partner Simon.
Although he's not an active part of Moonstories Photography, I couldn't pursue my passion like this without his support behind the scenes. He believes in me and has my back – especially when things are going well and hectic.
I love trying new things, sometimes I get lost in creative ideas – and then I find my focus again through music. Folk, indie, hip-hop – depending on my mood. :-)
Our two Birman cats, Luna & Lui, are also an important part of my life and are always by my side during image editing.
