Marie Hinkel, family photographer in Netphen, specializes in natural family, children and newborn photography. Authentic images in a relaxed atmosphere, incl. mini sessions.
My name is Marie and I'm a family photographer based in Netphen. As a mother of two, I know how quickly little moments pass — and those genuine, unstaged instants are what I love to capture. My photographic style focuses on authentic, natural images: less posed “look at the camera” shots, more relaxed movement, honest expressions and emotional connection. Why choose me: I bring patience and sensitivity to every session, especially when working with children and newborns. Creating a comfortable atmosphere is key — it allows images that will bring back warm memories for years. Whether we shoot outdoors around Netphen and Siegen or indoors in a calm setting, I favor natural light, warm tones and a documentary approach that reveals everyday rituals and genuine bonds. My family services include full family sessions, children and sibling portraits, and newborn photography. For newborn sessions I plan closely with expecting parents: please get in touch early and tell me your due date, as newborn shoots are best scheduled within the first ten days after birth. Maternity sessions work well between weeks 32–35. I also run seasonal mini‑sessions (e.g., pumpkin, Christmas, farm minis and the 'Mini Lämmer') which are popular and may have waiting lists. How I work: Before the shoot we discuss outfits and locations; during the session I guide you gently, suggest small activities and capture natural moments. I can provide accessories and dresses/hats if needed to complete the look. After careful editing you receive a curated selection of lovingly processed images that tell your family’s story. As a family person, I look forward to telling your story in pictures — locally in Netphen and the surrounding area. Get in touch to ask questions or book a session.
