"It didn't feel like a photoshoot."
"It didn't feel like a photoshoot."
"I was worried my two high energy boys wouldn’t cooperate, but the session felt so natural and easy. It didn’t feel like a photo shoot. It felt like our everyday life being captured." - Jacey
Hey there! I'm Meg, a mom of two and a photographer based in Munich for 5 years. I built this business because I wanted the kind of photos I couldn't find for my own family. I know that family life isn't always perfect. Some days are filled with laughter, while other days are a total blur until you get to bedtime. But preserving your memories doesn't have to be hard.
I've designed this process around my own experiences so you can feel like you have found a photographer in Munich who truly gets it. My job is to take on the mental load so you can relax, be present, and love on your kids while I capture it all for you to cherish for years to come.
Meet Your Munich Photographer
Hey, I'm meg!
This probably isn't for you if...
But if any of this sounds like you...
Everyone needs to be looking at the camera, smiling perfectly, all at once
You have your heart set on posed newborns and styled backdrops
The idea of actually playing with your kids on camera makes you cringe
You want something quick, cheap, and cookie-cutter
You just need one good photo for the Christmas card
You love spending time with your family (no matter what family looks like to you)
You've laughed until you cried and you'd do it again tomorrow
Your kids are feral/hilarious/shy/
silly/beautiful/smart/
cool/a handful and you wouldn't change a thing
You're nervous (that's fine, most people are)
You want to remember not just what this time looked like, but what it felt like
... hi, hello, I think we're going to be good friends!
Because your real life is worth remembering.

Your family story is beautiful. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s yours. Real, messy, perfectly imperfect.
You deserve family photos that feel like all of that, captured by someone who understands what it means to be a parent and who is on your team. As an English-speaking family & newborn photographer in Munich, I create relaxed, connection-led personalized photography sessions that capture the beauty, chaos, and everyday magic of your story. Together we'll create honest images that remind you of how much love lives here.
These are the days you'll look back on.

Looking for an enjoyable Photography Experience in Munich?
What you can expect working with Hoechsmann Photography
I'll bring the calm to the chaos. As a mother myself, I know with children you should always expect the unexpected. The families I work with value connection over perfection. They're playful, open-hearted, and trust the process. Even when things get a little wild. Trust me, this is how we create the magic.
Calm & Kid-Friendly
A session with me feels like going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to be a photographer. You'll feel at ease and know you have support through the entire process. The only thing I need from you is your willingness to be seen and have fun with your family
A Friend with a Camera
I don't believe family photos should be about posing or performing. I give guidance, but overall my goal is to get the families in front of my camera to just enjoy time together. Whether we're playing in outside, going somewhere special to you, or enjoying your favorite everyday routine, my goal is to help you feel like yourself and create photos that feel like home.
Gentle Guidance
My photography style focuses on capturing genuine, heartfelt moments, creating images that show the good, the hard, and the in-between. My clients aren't looking for a flawless performance; they're looking for something true, something they can feel for years to come.
