Marie-Luise Härtel – Dokumentarische Fotografin für Hochzeiten, Familien, Geburten und Reisen

As a family photographer based in Künzell, I capture your life as it truly is: messy, laughing, cuddling. My approach is documentary — unposed, attentive and close. I don’t stage trendy scenes; instead I look for the small, honest moments that make your family unique. Whether at home, outside in nature, or at a place that matters to you, I focus on authenticity and connection rather than perfection. Why choose me? With over ten years of experience and a background in design, I combine technical skill with a trained eye for light and composition. The images I deliver are not only beautiful — they tell your story, raw and emotional, with warmth and timelessness. My goal is to create photographs you’ll love to hang on your wall and show your children in years to come. How I work: We usually start with a short, no-pressure meeting (I offer Tuesday morning Google Meet slots) to talk about your wishes and the best locations. During the session you can be yourselves — I observe, wait for moments to unfold and gently guide when a little nudge helps create something special. I bring patience, especially with babies and children, and adapt to your rhythm. My family photography includes newborn and baby sessions as well as children’s photography, always prioritizing truthful portrayal. I also document family milestones like baptisms, communions and birthdays with the same unobtrusive, respectful approach. All images are lovingly edited to reflect my personal style. Values matter: inclusion, respect and a child-friendly approach are at the heart of my work. If you value honest, heartfelt photos and a relaxed collaboration, we’ll get on well. Get in touch — I’d love to tell your family’s story in Künzell and the surrounding area.
