Authentic family photography in Altdorf near Nuremberg: Steffi captures lively, true moments with children, newborns and maternity shoots — relaxed, warm and unposed.
Based in Altdorf near Nuremberg, Steffi focuses on family photography that feels honest and alive. Her approach rejects stiff, posed “line-up” shots in favor of genuine moments: laughter between siblings, quiet cuddles with a newborn, and the playful energy of children exploring their world. These are the images that become family heirlooms. Why choose Steffi? She combines sensitivity with experience in working with children and babies, creating a calm, friendly atmosphere so that everyone — even camera-shy little ones — feels at ease. Steffi prefers a conversational, personal preparation: a short call or coffee to learn who’s coming, what the kids are like, and to create a flexible plan for the session. The aim is that the shoot feels like time spent with a friend, not a formal appointment. Sessions are often outdoors in favorite local spots to take advantage of natural light and space for children to move freely. Her distinctive editing style emphasizes warmth and authenticity, producing images that feel timeless rather than trendy. While her main focus is family work — including maternity and newborn sessions — she also accepts occasional couple shoots and records standesamtliche ceremonies when requested, always with the same commitment to natural storytelling. If you want family photos that show who you really are — messy, joyful, tender and real — Steffi creates a relaxed experience and photographs moments you’ll return to again and again.
