Marius Etzel Fotografie

I’m Marius Etzel, a family photographer based in Filderstadt near Stuttgart. My work focuses on capturing real family stories with calm, honest imagery. I favor clean, telling photographs that highlight emotion—laughter, closeness and everyday moments. This understated approach defines my family photography. My method is unobtrusive and observant. I love going for a walk with you at a location of your choice or coming to your home, where relaxed, lively images naturally arise as children play and parents unwind. For specific portrait needs I also offer studio sessions—perfect for maternity and newborn portraits in a warm, controlled setting. Why choose me? Because I put people first. Every shoot begins with a personal conversation to align expectations, choose locations and create a relaxed schedule so you feel comfortable and well looked after. I work patiently and sensitively, helping even shy children and expectant parents to feel at ease so authentic photos emerge. I see family photography as more than pretty pictures: it documents life’s stages—from baby and newborn photos to children’s portraits and milestone moments such as baptism, communion or birthday celebrations. I focus on clear composition, natural light and a pared-back style that puts your family in the spotlight. The collaboration should be enjoyable and relaxed. I support you professionally, respectfully and with attention to detail. If you’re looking for natural family photos that tell your story and will still move you years from now, I’d love to hear from you — especially families from Filderstadt, Stuttgart and the surrounding area.
