Garmisch-Partenkirchen Family, Couple & Elopement Photographer
CAPTURING MAGICAL MEMORIES
Hi there! I’m Franzis, a professional photographer based in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the heart of the German Alps. Whether you're here to capture the love between you and your partner, celebrate your family’s chaos, or simply create memories you’ll cherish for years to come, I’m so excited to help make that happen.
Photography for me is about more than just getting the perfect shot - it’s about creating an experience that’s relaxed, fun, and natural. In the past 7 years, I got to document a total of over 450 couples, proposals, maternity sessions, newborn and family sessions, elopements, and weddings - and I am still so in love with what I do! My clients can confirm how passionate I am about my work. I specialize in guiding you through your session, making sure you feel comfortable and at ease, and helping you bring out your best selves. Whether it’s working with children or capturing the quiet moments between couples, I love making sure that your true personalities shine through in every photo.
So, if you're looking for a photographer who combines a professional touch with a little bit of humor, who loves the outdoors as much as you do, and who will make sure you feel comfortable from the very first click, you’re in the right place.
I can’t wait to work with you and create some unforgettable memories together!
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE LENS
Hey, I’m Franzis!
Born and raised in Germany, I grew up in Heidelberg and now call the Alps home. I currently live in the greater Garmisch-Partenkirchen area (Oberammergau, home of the world’s best Alpine coaster) where my husband, a Colorado native, is stationed with the U.S. Air Force. Together we have two kids - one is 15, and the other is 8 and still believes I’m the best thing ever. To add to the chaos, we also have an eight year older Border Collie mix.
As a mother and a passionate adventurer, I’m all about creating memories in the great outdoors. You’ll find me hiking the trails, XC skiing, snowboarding, or paddle boarding on a lake. I’ve owned my business for seven 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.
“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!'“
Love not from Jessica and Steven
