Timeless portraits.
Your forever memory - NOW.
A portrait is more than just a picture.
It is a moment that will never return – captured with sensitivity, calmness and an eye for personality.
Natural animal and human-animal portraits are created in a relaxed atmosphere – in familiar surroundings, at your place– where your four-legged friend feels safe and relaxed.
With great patience and empathy, I capture the character of your animal in photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of animals do you photograph?
I photograph them all! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, turtles, hamsters, and many more.
Within what area can you be booked?
I am currently available for bookings throughout Switzerland and will travel to locations within a 30-minute radius of Zurich at no additional cost.
Is it okay if I’m in some of the photos with my pet?
Of course. I love photographing people together with their pets.
My dog is a bit nervous — will we still get good results?
No problem at all. I take plenty of time so your dog can get used to me and the situation.
My cat is very shy. Can you still photograph her?
My experience has shown that this is possible as long as your cat stays in the room when a visitor enters your home.
If your cat is extremely fearful and hides away from visitors, it is usually not possible.
How much space do you need for a shoot at my home?
I need about 3x2m of space for my mobile studio.
What does private usage rights mean? Do I own the images from the session?
All photos you receive from Wiau Portraitfotografie by Sophie Herter are intended for personal use only.
Commercial use, resale, or distribution to third parties (for example, posting by other social media accounts) is not permitted.
Likewise, use for business or commercial purposes — such as tagging a business or using promo codes — is not allowed.
The copyright for all images remains with the photographer, Sophie Herter.
If you are interested in usage beyond personal use, please feel free to contact me. I’m happy to explain your options and answer any questions regarding licensing.
Please refrain from editing the images yourself or adding filters. Thank you for respecting my work.
