TessFotografie

Based in Mühlhausen (Nordhessen), TessFotografie focuses on family photography that feels real and emotional. Vanessa’s work prioritizes authentic, unposed images that reflect everyday connections—small gestures, candid laughter and meaningful looks—rather than staged portraits. Her approach can be summed up as: honest, authentic, unposed. Why choose TessFotografie? Vanessa combines an attentive eye for mood with a calm, approachable manner in front of the camera. Families appreciate the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere she creates—children settle more easily, parents can relax, and genuine moments naturally unfold. Her background in working with children is an advantage for sessions with little ones, ensuring patience, care and trust. What sets her apart: the emphasis on documentary-style family and children photography. Whether it’s a home session capturing daily life, an outdoor walk with playful kids, or special shoots such as maternity, newborn and cake-smash sessions, Vanessa adapts her method to suit you. She also runs regular mini sessions for themed occasions. For newborns she can bring wraps and blankets to your home or work in her studio when appropriate. The priority is always that everyone feels comfortable and authentic. How she works: before each shoot there’s a short consultation to align on locations, wishes and style. During the session Vanessa creates a relaxed setting, offers gentle guidance only when needed, and lets real moments happen. Images are professionally selected and edited; photobooks and online galleries are available on request for sharing with family and friends. For natural, timeless family memories—family portraits, children’s photography, maternity and newborn sessions—TessFotografie in Mühlhausen is ready to work with you.
