Lifetime Photography - Vanessa Drucks

As a family photographer based in Blasewitz and Dresden, I help families make the small and big bonds between them visible. My work values natural moments: I capture you as you are—laughing, playing, and present. With a background in pedagogy and as a mother myself, I know how to connect with children, gain their trust, and create an environment where everyone feels comfortable. My focus is on what happens between people: looks, hands, little gestures and the invisible threads that tie a family together. I favor a documentary/reportage approach—capturing authentic interaction and offering gentle prompts when needed to let genuine moments unfold. Whether it’s a homestory in your cosy home or a relaxed outdoor session around Blasewitz, I prioritize an experience that’s calm, enjoyable and true to you. We start with a personal pre-shoot conversation to discuss wishes, locations and needs. During the shoot I guide briefly, then let you interact naturally. My retouching is subtle and respectful—temporary blemishes are removed while personality remains intact. With experience photographing newborns and young children, I respond sensitively to breaks, feeding or nappy changes and take the time you need. I photograph families through all life stages: pregnancy, newborns, baby and childhood, and special family occasions such as baptisms, communions or birthdays. Every session is tailored to deliver images that bring back the feelings and stories of this time. If you’re looking for a photographer who is empathetic, reliable and has a keen eye for interpersonal moments, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create lasting memories together.
