Family photographer in Borna: Charleen creates natural, candid family, baby and children portraits on location. Calm, relaxed sessions that preserve real memories.
I’m Charleen — a family and wedding photographer based in Borna, working throughout Leipzig and the surrounding area. What started as a hobby quickly became my passion: I love photographing families as they truly are — relaxed, lively and full of emotion. My focus is on natural, unstaged images: newborn sessions, baby photography, children’s portraits, baptisms and communions, as well as special family celebrations like birthdays. I prefer shooting outdoors or at your chosen location rather than in a studio, bringing calm, flexibility and an intuitive sense for the decisive moment. My style is warm, authentic and personal. I prioritise connection over rigid posing — through gentle direction, play and conversation I capture the honest interactions that tell your family’s story. Children are a particular joy to photograph; their spontaneity often creates the most memorable images. For the protection of children, I do not publish children’s photos online without explicit agreement. The process is simple and relaxed: we start with a friendly planning conversation to discuss location, mood and your wishes. During the shoot I create a comfortable atmosphere, offer unobtrusive guidance and focus on those natural, fleeting moments. In post‑production I refine each image with my own visual touch so your memories look and feel timeless. My background as a wedding photographer gives me a refined eye for emotion and composition — an asset when telling family stories in an authentic way. Whether it’s a newborn session, a children’s birthday or a multi‑generation family portrait, I accompany you with patience, care and a professional approach. If you’re looking for genuine family photos in a relaxed setting, get in touch — I’d love to meet you and create images you’ll cherish.
