Franziska Pötzsch - Fotografie

Based in Grimma, I specialize in family photography with a clear focus on authentic, natural moments. My work centers on family sessions, children’s portraits and newborn photography — always with the aim of creating images that truly reflect the connection and personality of your family. Rather than posed portraits, I prefer a gentle, observational approach: playful prompts, short interactions and a relaxed atmosphere help genuine smiles and tender moments surface. My visual style emphasizes authenticity and simplicity. Whether we meet outdoors for a relaxed family shoot, capture lively children’s photos, or document your newborn at home, I adapt to your needs and the environment to keep the session calm and comfortable. Newborn shoots are often best in your home where familiar surroundings, soft light and closeness to parents and siblings create a peaceful setting for timeless images. The process is straightforward and friendly: we briefly discuss your wishes and possible locations beforehand so the session can flow naturally. During the shoot I allow time for breaks and spontaneous moments — many of the best images happen in between. After careful editing, you’ll receive your photos in a private online gallery for easy viewing and downloading. Why choose me? I bring patience, sensitivity and experience working with children. My aim is to deliver photographs that feel warm, honest and timeless — images that let you relive those moments years from now. While I occasionally photograph maternity and weddings, my primary expertise is family, children and newborn photography. If you’re looking for natural family photos that tell your story, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll find the right time and place for your personal family session.
