The Marstall Family: Wiesbaden & Frankfurt Family Photographer

The Marstall family: Wiesbaden family photographer

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the Marstall family twice. Their first session with me was the beginning of 2020 for a beautiful sunset maternity session. Last summer, when I announced I was moving to Germany, they contacted me again to schedule an extended family session. This time they were joined by Alicia’s parents and sister to celebrate their first family session with their baby son Easton. The first family session after a baby joins the family is an important one, and I want to make it as special as I can.

Since it was August and quite hot as Tucson is in summer, they chose a sunrise session at Saguaro National Park. We arrived just as the sun was peaking above the Rincon mountains. It was cool and the light was soft, a perfect morning for this beautiful session. I found a saguaro with two arms to use as a backdrop so I could capture the sun peeking through. We began with family photos of everyone, then I focused on individual photos with their little one. I moved on to photos with little one and his grandparents and aunt.

As the sun got higher in the sky, I moved everyone to another set of saguaros. They were a little taller and able to block the sun more efficiently. They also provided a different look for gallery variety. We captured more photos of Alicia and Stephen with their baby boy, and shots of Easton with his grandma, grandpa, and aunt. We ended the session with couples photos of Alicia and Stephen. Although family sessions with a baby and extended family can be tricky, this session was wonderful to shoot. My editing intent was to create photos with the same bright, warmth as the family. I love how they turned out.
