Sarah Glathe | Foto & Design Manufaktur

Based in Alsterdorf and serving Hamburg, my approach to family photography focuses on telling your story in a way you'll want to revisit again and again. I work with empathy, a sense of humor and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that helps children feel at ease and parents feel confident. For me, family photos are not posed studio shots but intimate, candid moments that reflect real life. My style is natural and emotional — I observe, accompany and gently guide so the most authentic moments are captured. Whether it's a family picnic, cosy at-home portraits, or playful shots at the playground, I choose the settings where you truly feel yourselves and frame them with care. I combine creative image ideas with calm, friendly direction so even camera-shy children enjoy the session. The process is simple and personal: we begin with a short consultation to discuss your wishes, favorite locations and the best timing. You’ll receive practical preparation tips and, if desired, a small guide for outfits and locations. On the shoot day we keep things relaxed — often the best photos happen between moments, while playing, cuddling or simply joking together. Afterwards I select and carefully edit the strongest images and deliver them in a personalized gallery app. I can also design your memories as a digital or printed photo book. In addition to classic family photography, I photograph newborns, babies and children, and capture special family milestones such as baptisms or communions — always with the same sensitive, family-first approach. As a photographer and media designer, I pay attention to composition and a coherent edit so your images look great online, on invitations or in your album. If you want timeless, natural family photos with someone who brings empathy, creativity and joy to the session, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create images that hold your family’s highlights for years to come.
