Family photography in Waldkirch: Authentic family, newborn and maternity sessions in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Melanie creates timeless memories for generations.
At lifestyle photodesign, the focus is on honest, heartfelt family moments. Based in Waldkirch, I specialise in family photography — from maternity and newborn sessions to intimate family and children’s portraits. My aim is to create images that are displayed, cherished and passed down through generations. Why choose me? As a mother and studio owner, I understand how important trust and a calm atmosphere are for authentic photos. I work with patience, empathy and attention to detail so that even shy children and new parents feel comfortable. My approach is friendly and relaxed — I want your session to feel like time spent with a good friend. My photographic style is natural and timeless. I use gentle light, candid moments and subtle posing to capture real emotions: a glance, a laugh, a loving touch. Newborn sessions are handled with care and expertise; I recommend maternity shoots around week 30 for the most flattering results. Family sessions can take place in my cozy studio or outdoors in the beautiful surroundings of Waldkirch — wherever you feel most at ease. How we work: we’ll discuss your wishes, colours and outfits beforehand to ensure cohesive images. On the day, I keep the mood relaxed and guide you step by step so parents and kids can enjoy the experience. You’ll receive your image selection in a private online gallery and can order prints or albums from there. While family, newborn and maternity photography are my core focus, I also bring wedding photography experience to capture emotions and connections — a strength that enriches family photography as well. Let’s tell your family’s story in pictures. I look forward to hearing from you and planning your session in Waldkirch or the surrounding area.
