Annette Schachtner Fotografie

Based in Memmingen and active throughout the Allgäu, Annette Schachtner specializes in creating relaxed, authentic family photographs that tell personal stories. She believes that seeing yourself in a cherished family portrait boosts confidence and becomes a treasured heirloom. Whether it’s playful moments with children outdoors, quiet family time at home or the delicate first weeks with a newborn, Annette approaches each session with patience and an eye for genuine emotion. Her working style is personable and calm: she consults with you beforehand to understand your wishes, suggests fitting locations around Memmingen and guides families gently during the shoot. Without a fixed studio, she prefers natural light and outdoor settings but brings portable flash and props for comfortable home sessions when needed. Annette is particularly experienced with newborn and baby photography — she offers home visits, works sensitively around feeding and rest times and brings appropriate backgrounds and accessories to create timeless images. With children, she uses playful prompts and patience to capture spontaneous expressions rather than forced poses. Family sessions are treated like short reportage: connections, gestures and candid moments take center stage. Technically, Annette shoots on full-frame equipment and refines images in Lightroom and Photoshop. Thoughtful retouching and color work preserve the authenticity of the moment while presenting you at your best. Since founding her business in 2018, she has combined professional standards with a warm, trustworthy manner that makes sessions relaxed and enjoyable for all ages. If you’re looking for family, children or newborn photography in Memmingen or the Allgäu, Annette offers a caring, experienced approach to capture your memories.
