Prices & packages for documentary family photography in Munich
"What are the costs?"
Indeed, a fantastic question.
But maybe the real question is: what is the value of a memory?
The tiny kicks during pregnancy. The first days at home with your newborn. The quiet, chaotic, beautiful moments of ordinary family life. These are the days that shape our lives, and they pass all too quickly. Having these moments documented means giving your children the gift of seeing where they come from — of feeling loved, seen, and held, even years from now.
These memories are truly priceless.
Of course, I understand that photography is also an investment. That’s why I’ve created a flexible pricing model designed to adapt to your needs and budget. Collections start at 450€ and include carefully curated keepsakes for your home and high-resolution digital files for sharing and printing. Every package can be personalized, because no two families are the same.

We didn't have to do anything, say anything, or do anything "right."
We've done several photoshoots as a family, but somehow it always felt a bit staged. With Francesca, it was completely different. As a documentary photographer, she manages to stay in the background while still being in the center of the action. Everyone was allowed to just be who they were and that's exactly what you see in the pictures.
She captured those small, genuine moments: the loving look, a spontaneous hug, the quiet togetherness on the sofa. You immediately notice that Francesca is a mother herself, she knows the hustle and bustle of family life, brings calmness, and treats children (and parents!) with a great deal of understanding and warmth.

Not at all. Most families I work with feel the same. My approach is calm, friendly, and documentary, I won’t ask you or your kids to pose or perform. You’ll quickly forget I’m there, and that’s when the magic happens. Longer session are the best to get the real documentary photos.

During the phone call we can go over further details, and I will answer all your questions and find a date for the photo shoot together. I will then send you a contract. Only once you have signed the contract and paid a deposit of 200 euro will the appointment be set. You will then receive a confirmation of the appointment by e-mail. More info here.
Then we’ll reschedule the session, and I’ll do my best to find a new date as soon as possible. I’m very much aware that there are times of the year when illness spreads quickly at daycare. I’m a mother too. Try to call me anyway 24 hours before our scheduled photo shooting if you think that will not be possible.
Absolutely! I offer beautifully designed gift vouchers, a wonderful and meaningful present for a birth, birthday, or any other special occasion. Just ask me or visit this page for more info.
