Elena Deffke Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Worms, I focus on capturing the real, tender moments that make your family unique. I aim for images that feel honest and timeless — the little laughs, spontaneous hugs and quiet, loving looks that tell your story. My approach is warm, natural and emotion-led. Being a mother myself shapes how I work: patient, flexible and very child-friendly. Whether we choose a relaxed session at home, a playful afternoon in the park, or a stroll by the Rhine, I create a calm atmosphere where authentic moments can happen. I guide you gently, but mainly observe the interactions that make your family special so the results feel genuine, not posed. Before the shoot we talk through your ideas and pick a location that suits your family. I’m happy to advise on outfits to keep your photos timeless and harmonious. Drawing on my experience with maternity and newborn sessions, I can also offer support and props for expectant families — though my core focus here is on family photography as a whole. With children I work with patience: short breaks, playful prompts and familiar tunes help everyone relax and bring out natural smiles. After the session you’ll receive thoughtfully edited images that preserve these moments for years to come. I’d love to meet you, hear your story and create images that feel like you. I photograph families in Worms, the Palatinate and the surrounding area.
