Madeleine Rothkugel Fotografie

Hej! I'm Madeleine — wedding and family photographer based in Bernburg. I believe: the moments are now. As a family photographer I focus on capturing genuine connections — relaxed, empathetic and with attention to detail. Whether you're new parents, welcoming a newborn, have curious children or plan special occasions like baptisms or communions, I aim to create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves and enjoy the time together. Why choose me? I work quietly and unobtrusively. Many sessions take place outdoors or in familiar surroundings where children can move freely — no forced poses, just real interaction. The result: family photos that still carry the feeling of the day years from now — honest looks, small touches, heartfelt laughter. My style is natural, warm and emotional. I offer gentle guidance and capture the in-between moments often overlooked: a hand stroking a baby’s head, a mischievous grin during play, a tender quiet moment. These images don’t just look beautiful — they tell your story. How I work: We discuss your wishes in advance — location, timing and any special ideas. During the shoot I keep things relaxed, give playful prompts if needed, and photograph the moments as they unfold. Afterwards I carefully sort and edit the images so you receive lasting memories as high-quality digital files or prints. I am rooted in Bernburg and the surrounding region, and I’m open to locations across Saxony-Anhalt and beyond when it fits. I’d love to meet your family, discover your little rituals and create timeless memories. Contact me and tell me about you, your children or your little miracle — the loveliest family stories happen together.
