Pose and Say Cheese Photography

I’m Swapan from Pose and Say Cheese Photography — your family photographer based in Ettlingen who loves to capture authentic moments and timeless portraits. My work focuses on family stories: from maternity and newborn sessions to relaxed family portraits and special occasions like baptisms, communions or children’s birthday parties. While I also work as a wedding photographer in Ettlingen and am specialized in wedding photography, this service emphasizes family and baby photography as a core focus. My approach is calm, patient and personal. Combining a precise, technical mindset from my work as a software engineer with an artistic eye, I create carefully composed images that feel natural and emotional. Whether you prefer an outdoor session among the parks and landscapes around Karlsruhe and Ettlingen or a cosy newborn shoot in my studio, I tailor each session to your family’s needs. With babies, comfort and a relaxed pace are paramount — I prioritize safety, warmth and gentle guidance throughout the shoot. How I work with you: we start with a short consultation to clarify your wishes and choose a suitable location. On the day of the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere, guide gentle poses and capture spontaneous interactions. I document both posed portraits and candid moments to tell a full and honest story of your family. Each image receives careful editing to deliver timeless photos you’ll treasure for years. Why choose Pose and Say Cheese? Families appreciate my friendly manner, patience with children and practical tips for a smooth session. If you want natural, heartfelt family photos in Ettlingen and the surrounding area, I’d love to meet you and turn your moments into lasting memories.
