Anja Metzner Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Viernheim, my passion is to capture the small and large moments of family life in honest, timeless images. My style is natural and warm — I want you to recognize yourselves in the photos: unposed, full of feeling and authenticity. Family photography for me is a personal commitment through important life stages: from maternity and newborn portraits to children and family sessions. I work calmly and child-centered. In my daylight studio I create a relaxed environment where babies and parents feel safe — you are welcome to use my curated wardrobe of soft, harmonious tones (beige, cream, rust). Outdoors I adore shooting during the golden hour; here genuine moments of cuddling, playing and laughing result in beautifully lit family photos. Before your session you'll receive my "Ready to Shoot" guide with outfit ideas and inspiration to make your images timeless. The process is personal and clear: we discuss your wishes beforehand, I gently guide you during the session with playful prompts, and you receive a selection of naturally edited images that reflect the true moment. Retouching is kept minimal — authenticity is at the heart of my work. For newborn sessions I work in a need-oriented way and always allow time for feeding and calming the baby. Beyond my primary focus on family, maternity and newborn photography, I also offer sessions for special occasions like baptisms, communions or children's birthdays. Wedding coverage is available as an additional service, always with an emphasis on authentic, emotional storytelling. Serving families in Viernheim, Mannheim and Heidelberg, I look forward to translating your family story into keepsake images. If you value warm, stress-free guidance and real memories, get in touch — your memories are my heartfelt mission.
