Family photography in Gohlis & Leipzig: Tom Thiele creates natural, modern family and newborn photos. Calm atmosphere, authentic moments and professional results.
I'm Tom — a Leipzig-based photographer driven by a passion for capturing authentic family moments. With 17 years behind the camera, I specialise in family photography, newborn and children’s shoots, always aiming for fresh, modern images that reflect personality and close relationships. Working as a wedding photographer in Gohlis and on business assignments has taught me how to guide people calmly in front of the lens; I bring that same composure to every family session. My approach focuses on real emotion rather than staged poses. Whether it’s newborn photography, baby sessions, child portraits, baptisms, communions or birthday celebrations, I work sensitively and in a child-friendly way. Short breaks, playful prompts and relaxed direction help children feel at ease so genuine moments can unfold. Parents appreciate my eye for candid interaction and my timing to catch those fleeting expressions. How a session works: we start with a conversation about your ideas — home sessions, outdoor walks or a quiet newborn setup are all possible. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere, give clear, friendly guidance and shoot predominantly in a documentary style, complemented by composed portraits. My editing preserves natural tones and emphasizes expression so the photos feel timeless and personal. Why choose me for family photos? Because I deliver memories with emotion and a distinct visual voice. Clients praise the professional images with character and the variety in the final gallery. While I also photograph weddings and business projects, family photography is one of my core focuses — and I’d love to help you preserve the moments that matter most in Gohlis and greater Leipzig.
