Fotografie Elke Drews

I’m Elke Drews, a family photographer based in Kulmbach with formal training and years of experience. For me, family photography means preserving the small, meaningful moments that make your family unique, creating images you’ll love for years. Whether it’s natural outdoor family portraits, studio sessions, or multi‑generation photos, I aim to capture authentic emotion and real connections. My approach is calm and empathetic. I guide families gently, giving simple direction while leaving room for spontaneous interaction. With children I prioritize a relaxed atmosphere—patience, playfulness and trust help create images that feel natural rather than posed. The result is a collection of photos that tell the story of your family. The process is straightforward and personal: we discuss your ideas and wishes beforehand, decide on location and style (studio or on location), and plan a session that fits your family’s rhythm. During the shoot I focus on creating a comfortable environment so everyone can be themselves. Afterwards I carefully select and gently edit the best images to bring out mood and color. As an experienced photographer in Kulmbach, I specialize in family and portrait photography. I also offer newborn and baby sessions on request—these are complementary services delivered with the same care and sensitivity, while family and portrait work remain my core focus. Why choose me: I combine professional training with a warm, personal approach and a keen eye for meaningful moments. If you’re looking for natural, timeless family photos in Kulmbach and the surrounding area, I’d be delighted to meet you and capture your family’s special moments.
