Elke Themann Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Simmerath, I focus on real moments: the glance between parents and children, laughter on the meadow, and quiet seconds with a newborn. I'm Elke Themann — a trained portrait photographer (graduated 2018) — and I accompany families with a calm, empathetic approach so meaningful memories can be created. My style is natural and documentary, with a strong preference for outdoor locations. Whether newborn shoots, baby and child photography, baptisms or communions, I look for light and settings that emphasize your family bond. Comfort and fun are top priorities during my sessions. I take time with you, guide you gently through the shoot, and capture both small details and big emotions. Why choose me? Because I combine technical skill with storytelling. My training and experience help me guide families — including lively children — with patience and care. I handle newborn sessions thoughtfully and find natural poses that suit your family. As a wedding photographer in Simmerath, I bring reportage and emotion-driven skills to family stories: I prefer authentic moments over posed perfection. The process is personal and uncomplicated: we discuss your wishes beforehand, choose time and place together, and I give tips on clothing and preparation. On the day, I create a friendly atmosphere that allows natural moments to happen. After the session you receive a selection of carefully edited images that show your family as it really is — emotional, honest and timeless. I look forward to capturing your family's story — outdoors around Simmerath or at a location meaningful to you. Warm regards, Elke
