Michelle Utz Fotografie

I'm Michelle — a family photographer based in Buchen in the Odenwald, a mother of two and a storyteller through images. My work focuses on creating memories that truly move you. As a family photographer I prioritize a calm, trusting environment where parents and children can relax and be themselves. My aesthetic is natural, warm and timeless — perfect for family, maternity and newborn photography. In my cozy Boho studio I take the time to learn your story: from an initial consultation to the final image selection. I guide you with gentle directions that make even camera-shy clients feel comfortable and help reveal genuine closeness. Being a parent myself, I understand how precious and sensitive those first weeks with a newborn are — and my sessions reflect that patience. The studio is arranged to make every family member feel at ease: a changing room with curated pieces from my client wardrobe, a small changing nook for babies and soft, natural sets in a Boho style. If desired, my stylist Julia provides gentle hair and makeup so you can arrive relaxed and focus on the moment. How I work: we start with a short consultation to capture your wishes. During the session I will guide you through poses and capture candid, heartfelt moments. After the shoot we select your favorite images together — in person or via Zoom — and each chosen photo receives professional retouching and color correction. I can also design high-quality photo products and albums to give your memories a lasting place. Why choose me? Because I don’t just take pictures — I accompany you with calm, experience and an eye for detail. Whether intimate newborn cuddles, graceful maternity portraits or lively family scenes, I capture the emotions you’ll want to feel again and again. Visit my Boho studio in Buchen or let's photograph outdoors in the soft evening light of the Odenwald. I look forward to telling your story in images.
