mel fotografiert | Melanie Sedlatschek

melfotografiert is about preserving the genuine story of your family. I’m Melanie (Mel) Sedlatschek — a wedding photographer based in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz who is equally devoted to family and newborn photography. My background in graphic design and marketing shapes a visual approach that balances emotional honesty with thoughtful composition. My family photography focuses on authentic moments: playful children, tender newborn details, daily family life and emotion-filled celebrations like baptisms, communions or birthdays. I prefer a documentary style that lets you be yourselves, while also creating composed family portraits you’ll be proud to display. Comfort and trust are central to my sessions. I guide families with gentle directions, creating a relaxed atmosphere so even shy children unwind. Newborn sessions are handled with care — whether as a homestory in your home or a calm studio shoot — always prioritizing safety and comfort. The result is imagery that feels personal, timeless and true to your family. How we work: Reach out via WhatsApp or e‑mail with your preferred timeframe and ideas. We’ll talk through location options, the flow of the session and what moments matter most to you. I offer a short get-to-know shoot if you’d like to become familiar with being in front of my camera. After the session you receive your edited images via download link; galleries can be password-protected for sharing with relatives. Although I’m known as a wedding photographer in the Neumarkt area, I bring the same sensitivity and attention to detail to every family reportage. If you want relaxed, emotive family photos, newborn portraits or a natural children’s session near Neumarkt, I’d love to hear from you. Best, Mel — melfotografiert.
