Hey, I'm Manuela Thurman
Hi there! My name is Manuela Thurman. I'm a lifestyle photographer passionate about capturing the essence of life’s most beautiful moments.
From a young age, photography has been an integral part of who I am. I can still remember the thrill of receiving my very first camera as a little girl. It opened up a new world for me—one where I could capture experiences, emotions, and memories, all while “freezing” moments in time. That fascination with storytelling through imagery has never left me and continues to inspire my work today.
As I grew older, my love for photography only deepened. The ability to convey emotions and tell stories through images became more than just a hobby—it became my calling. I believe that every snapshot has the power to transport us back to a moment in time, evoking the feelings we experienced and the connections we shared. Whether it’s the laughter of children playing, the love shared between couples, or the joy of families coming together, I thrive on capturing those candid moments that make life truly special.​​
I take a relaxed and authentic approach to my photography sessions, ensuring that you feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to create an enjoyable experience for you, allowing natural moments to unfold while I capture them effortlessly. I want you to forget the camera is there and just enjoy being yourselves. This authenticity is what I believe brings out the most beautiful images, as it reflects the true essence of your relationships and experiences.
​
Outside of my photography work, I’m also a loving wife and a proud dog mom to two beautiful Mini Australian Shepherds, named Myles and Charlie. They bring so much joy and adventure into our lives, inspiring me to seek out the beauty in the little things. Their playful spirits and unwavering loyalty serve as constant reminders of the importance of connection—whether it’s with your family, friends, or furry companions. Life’s moments are meant to be celebrated, and I cherish every opportunity to document these connections.
As a lifestyle photographer, I work with families, couples, and individuals to create lasting memories that reflect who they are. I specialize in capturing real moments that showcase your story, personality, and the love you share. I believe in the importance of preserving memories, and I strive to provide images that you will treasure for years to come. If you're looking for a photographer who will take the time to understand your vision, create a comfortable environment, and deliver beautiful, heartfelt images, I would love to work with you.
Together, let's create something special that celebrates your life and the moments that matter most. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me—I can’t wait to capture your story!
