Ringelstein Fotodesign

Based in Pfaffenhofen, Stefanie (Steffi) Ringelstein combines professional sensitivity with a warm, personal approach to family photography. With a background as an educator and as a mother, she knows how to work gently with little ones — with patience, calm and playful moments that lead to authentic, heartfelt images. Her core focus is on newborn, baby and maternity photography, while family portraits are a true passion. In her cozy studio in Pfaffenhofen a. d. Ilm she creates a relaxed environment where children feel at ease and parents can enjoy the session. Steffi provides a curated selection of props (baskets, blankets, furs, hats, crowns, etc.) and happily incorporates family treasures to make every shoot unique. Steffi’s style is gentle and child-centered: fun and comfort come first, because genuine smiles and natural interactions produce the most memorable photos. Newborn sessions are ideally scheduled in the first weeks after birth for peaceful poses; if preferred, she also offers relaxed in-home shoots. Maternity sessions are planned with the mother’s comfort in mind and can include accessories, sibling participation or subtle body painting on request. The process is straightforward and personal: a short consultation to align expectations, a relaxed shooting day, and careful post-processing to deliver images you’ll cherish. Whether in the studio, outdoors in nearby woods and fields, or at your home, Steffi aims to create timeless keepsakes of your family’s story. If you want authentic family and children’s photography with heart, Ringelstein Fotodesign in Pfaffenhofen is a trusted choice — experienced, patient and devoted to capturing the little moments that matter.
