Annette Marks Fotografie

I’m Annette Marks — my work is an invitation to capture the subtle and unforgettable moments of family life. As a family photographer my focus is on natural, documentary imagery: from maternity and motherhood sessions to postpartum and newborn reportage, as well as family events like baptisms, communions and children’s birthdays. I’m not after staged perfection but the honest, everyday moments — touches, glances, light, and the little signs of time. My visual language is emotional, aesthetic and true. I work intuitively with a gentle eye for mothers, children and details that later become precious memories. I favor natural light, enjoy working with color, blur and motion, and occasionally use experimental techniques to create a distinct mood. Above all, my images should show you as you are and make you feel seen. The process is personal and relaxed: we begin with a conversation to understand which moments matter most to you. I usually come to where you feel comfortable — at home or at a favorite place. During the session I stay open, curious and unobtrusive; often I document the natural flow of your day and only occasionally ask for a short pause to capture a portrait. My aim is that you feel at ease and can let go — that’s when the most genuine photos happen. What drives me is the belief that family is a perfectly imperfect universe worth embracing. I want to create images that don’t just show how you looked, but how it felt. Whether it’s intimate postpartum moments, a newborn’s first expressions, the presence of an expectant mother, or the beautiful chaos of everyday family life — I tell your story with sensitivity and respect. If you want photographs that are connecting, full of feeling and true-to-life, I would love to hear from you. Together we’ll find the best way to preserve your family’s personal story in images.
