Garmisch-Partenkirchen Family, Couple & Elopement Photographer

CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF YOUR STORY

Are you dreaming of a photo session in a unique location? Then you’re in the right place - I’m so glad you found me. I’m Franzis, a professional photographer, and I live in Garmisch-Partenkirchen with my two children and Coloradan transplant husband, who are all my biggest support. Having two children with such different ages - 7 and 15 - allows me to relate not only to younger children, but teenagers as well, and I love to find out all about their interests. When your younger child tells me every single dinosaur fact they know, or your teenager tells me their opinion about Taylor Swift, it makes my day.

After growing up in Heidelberg and living in bigger cities most of my life, I consider myself lucky to be able to pursue my passion in this stunning place I get to call home. You’d have to drag me away from here kicking and screaming. You can say I am biased, but once you’ll visit here, you’ll agree that the mountains and lakes in Garmisch-Partenkirchen are the most picturesque and breathtaking settings Germany has to offer. The beauty of nature year-round is the perfect backdrop to capture your couple’s or family’s story. Kick off your shoes and chase your kids through the meadows, dip your feet in the turquoise water of the most famous Alpine lake in Germany, the Eibsee, or have the snowball fight of your life on top of the Zugspitze - the seasons here are all magical!

ABOUT ME



THE WOMAN BEHIND THE LENS

Hey, I’m Franzis

Born and raised in Germany, originally I am from Heidelberg but currently live in the greater Garmisch-Partenkirchen area (Oberammergau, home of the world’s best Alpine coaster) where my husband is stationed with the U.S. Air Force. Together we have two girls and a dog that keep us busy. I’ve owned my business for six years now and I love every aspect of it. I still take out my phone to take pictures as if I just moved here yesterday and point out every cow I see and I don’t think I’ll ever stop.

Some things I love…

…nature, languages, coffee, food, snowboarding, hiking, the ocean, lakes, dogs, and concerts. At my first concert I saw David Bowie and P!nk at my last one.

If I could live anywhere…

I’m pretty happy where I am, but if I had to pick another place, it would be Hossegor in France!

Growing up…

I spent the summers on my grandpa’s sailboat on a lake, manifesting my love for water. When I wasn’t busy swimming, I did gymnastics and spent every fleeting second outside.

I am…

a tomboy and I have the scars to prove it.

Not only do we adore the result, we had an amazing experience with you.

“We are very nearly speechless. Thank you a million times over. You were our hype woman and coach and we are so grateful! "
