Your Family Photographer in Zurich

THE BEST MEMORIES DON'T HAPPEN ON COMMAND

Nina Tantzen ist Familienfotografin in Zürich

I'm Nina.

A photographer for 14 years, in Zurich for three, before that on the move for 16, including stints in the U.S., Shanghai and Singapore.

Mum of two daughters who show me, daily, how fast "just now" turns into "already gone."

Which is exactly why I photograph families as they really are - not in the pose they'd pull together for grandma and grandpa.

(Okay, you'll probably still get one of those images too — grandparents have rights!)

NO "SAY CHEESE!". NO COMMANDS.

A session with me has nothing to do with sitting still or smiling on cue. I'm there, I observe, I mostly stay quietly in the background - until I see the moment that matters.

And if your home isn't spotless: good. This is a place you actually live in, not a showroom - and that's exactly what should show in the photos.

THE MOMENTS GET QUIETER,

NOT SMALLER.

In the beginning, it's the big firsts:

the first smile, the first steps.

As the years go by, the moments get quieter — and you often only realise afterwards how special they were.

Those are exactly what I want to capture for you.

In every stage, so that in ten years you don't just see them — you feel them again.

DO WE FIT LIKE WELLIES AND PUDDLES?

If you want photos that feel like you — honest, unposed, full of life — I'd love to meet you.

Whether it's maternity, newborn, family or couples: all my sessions at a glance.

A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO MY WORK

Some of my images have appeared in international magazines and picked up awards from the National Association of Professional Child Photographers and the Master Photographers Association.

That recognition means a lot to me - mostly because it shows the quiet, real moments get seen too.
