Anja Witzki Fotografie

I'm Anja — a family photographer based in Arnstadt who loves creating natural, emotional family photographs. My work focuses on capturing the genuine connections between family members: laughter, cuddles, children at play, and quiet moments between parents. The goal is to create images that not only look beautiful but also bring back the feelings of that day years from now. My approach is calm, respectful and personal. I prefer working with trust and time rather than rigid posing. Whether we meet outdoors in the soft light of the golden hour or in my cozy daylight studio in Arnstadt, I create an atmosphere where children can explore and parents can relax. This is how unposed, authentic family photos are born — with your personality at the center. Before a session we have a personal talk to discuss your wishes, favorite locations and the visual mood you want. I assist with outfit choices and offer a client wardrobe with selected dresses so moms feel comfortable and confident. During the shoot I guide you playfully and adapt to your children’s needs, leaving room for spontaneous, heartfelt moments. In addition to family sessions, I also photograph maternity and newborn moments — complementary themes that often form a beautiful visual story from pregnancy to the first weeks as a family. My promise: I photograph with heart, patience and attention to detail. Your images are carefully edited to preserve mood and authenticity. I work in Arnstadt and the surrounding area (Erfurt, Jena, Weimar) and would love to tell your family’s story in honest, timeless images. If you’re looking for natural family photos that feel like you, get in touch — I’d love to meet you.
