Angelique Lichtmalerei

I’m Chantal — photographer, mother and the heart behind Angelique Lichtmalerei. My family photography in Berlin is driven by one belief: memories don’t need to be perfect, they need to be real. I love capturing the tender, playful and everyday moments that make up your family story — from children’s laughter to quiet, intimate connections with a newborn. Why choose me? As a fellow parent I know how quickly these moments pass. That understanding shapes my approach: patient, attentive and always focused on authentic relationships. I create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere so even shy children and tired parents can be themselves. My sessions should feel like a visit with a friend — calm, safe and personal. My style is natural, emotional and timeless. Rather than elaborate staging, I focus on genuine interactions: real hugs, unposed looks and small gestures that tell your family’s story. These are images that will still evoke feelings years from now. How I work: We start with a short conversation about your wishes and meaningful relationships you want photographed. During the session I follow your family’s rhythm — offering playful breaks, cuddles or quiet moments as needed. Whether in my cozy home studio, at your place or outdoors, I look for light and situations that bring out your connection. With a gentle, unobtrusive way of working I guide children and parents without pressure, so relaxed, natural images emerge. I want you to recognize yourselves in your photos. It’s not about perfection but about truth — the little imperfections are what make memories alive. If you’re looking for family, children or newborn photos that show warmth, closeness and real emotion, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create memories that will still touch your heart years from now.
