Katrin Schumacher Fotografie

My work as a family photographer is about preserving the small and significant stories of your family in natural, emotional images. I’m Katrin Schumacher, a mother of two and a photographer who values patience, sensitivity and authentic connection. These qualities shape how I approach family sessions and how I capture your moments together. My photographic style is romantic and understated: I favor natural light and relaxed settings so that real interactions can unfold. Rather than rigid posing, I aim to document laughter, tenderness and the spontaneous exchanges that define your family. Whether we meet for a relaxed outdoor session by the lake, photograph in your home or use a simple studio setup, the goal is always comfort and authenticity. My background in newborn and maternity photography informs how I work with young children—I allow time, create a calm environment and adapt the pace to your family’s needs. This ensures sensitive moments, from a peaceful newborn expression to warm family embraces, are captured with care. The process is straightforward: we start with a personal consultation to discuss your wishes, locations and the look you want. During the shoot I keep things playful and natural, using little prompts that invite genuine reactions. Afterwards I carefully select and edit the strongest images, with subtle, timeless retouching. Why choose me: I value real emotion over staged perfection. I take the time to be patient with children and attentive to the details that tell your family’s story. If you want heartfelt family photos that remain meaningful for years to come, I’d love to meet you—based in Konstanz on the shores of Lake Constance.
