Neugeborenen-und Familienfotografin Melanie Thies

As a newborn and family photographer based in Engelskirchen, my passion is to preserve the small and large stories of your family in timeless images. I work in an approachable, personal manner — focusing on natural, unposed moments that show real closeness, connection and the simple joy of family life. My style is gentle, light‑filled and detail‑oriented; when needed I apply fine‑art retouching with care to enhance mood without losing authenticity. Why choose me? I create family photographs with patience and empathy. Whether it’s tender newborn portraits in my studio atelier, cozy homestory sessions at your home, or natural outdoor family pictures, I build a calm atmosphere where children and parents quickly forget the camera. For newborns I prioritize safety and comfort — I bring thoughtfully chosen props and coordinate everything with you beforehand. How I work: Every session starts with a personal consultation to clarify your wishes and ideas. I advise on location, clothing and small details that make a big difference in the final images. During the shoot I guide you gently and playfully — using games to encourage children and allowing breaks when needed. Image selection and post‑processing are done with an eye for natural light, expression and composition. On request I can refine favourite images in a fine‑art style or advise on prints and wall displays. What drives me: My work is heartfelt — inspired by family photo albums and the wish to hand down memories across generations. I love those moments when families are themselves and the camera becomes secondary. That authenticity and warmth is what I aim to capture for you. If you value emotional, timeless family and newborn photographs and are looking for a photographer who works with heart, experience and calm, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll create your personal family treasure.
