Alina Henkel Photography

Based in Heiligensee, I specialise in family and wedding photography with a focus on authentic, unforced moments that tell your family’s story. From children’s spontaneous laughter to tender newborn embraces, my style prioritises emotion and natural light to create images that feel timeless and true. Families choose me because I create a relaxed atmosphere where real moments can unfold. Small prompts, gentle guidance and plenty of space for movement help even shy children feel at ease, resulting in photographs that show genuine connection rather than stiff poses. For those who prefer an indoor setting, my cosy studio offers a comfortable backdrop with hot drinks and the chance to play your favourite playlist. My work is documentary and feeling-driven: I look for the details you’ll cherish later — a sleepy yawn, a tiny hand wrapped around a finger, a tear at a baptism. While family photography is my primary focus, I also offer newborn and maternity sessions as supportive extensions of that work. Newborn sessions are often held at home to ensure comfort for baby and parents, and maternity clients can use dresses from my rental collection for elegant, relaxed portraits. I also photograph meaningful family events such as baptisms, communions and children’s birthdays. The process is simple and personal: a relaxed pre-shoot conversation to define your wishes, a calm and professional presence during the session, and quick delivery of a sneak peek followed by a fully edited gallery. My aim is that when you look at your photos years from now, you’ll feel exactly what you felt that day—warm, present and connected. Whether for family portraits, baby photography or newborn sessions, I capture the honest moments that become your family’s lasting memories.
