Stephanie Rach Photography

I'm Stephi — a family photographer based in Puchheim near Munich and also a dedicated wedding photographer. Since 2015 I've been photographing families, babies and expectant parents, developing a gentle, intuitive approach that prioritizes real moments over posed pictures. My focus is on families who want emotional, natural images: not stiff poses but photographs that show connection, playfulness and everyday tenderness. For newborn sessions I prefer a calm, cosy setting — often at your home — and I bring subtle props and backgrounds if needed. Patience, a soothing presence and technical experience are key to creating images that feel timeless. What sets me apart is my documentary background and my sensitive working style. I observe, support and only gently guide when it's needed to capture genuine expressions. Before each shoot we have a phone call to talk about your wishes, favourite locations and the flow of the session so that the day feels relaxed. For outdoor family shoots I encourage movement and play — that’s where the most honest moments appear. Being local to Puchheim and Munich I value building a personal relationship with the families I work with. I bring heart, reliability and an eye for the small stories that make family life unique. You’ll receive photographs that radiate warmth, closeness and personality — memories you can return to again and again. If you’re looking for family photos that are authentic, emotional and lovingly made, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create images that tell your family’s story.
