Steffi Mayer Familienfotografie

I'm Steffi — a mum, a true Hamburg local and your family photographer. My work is about creating memories that show your children how deeply they were loved. I photograph families, newborns and maternity sessions with an intuitive, heartfelt approach. My style is honest and gentle: I look for the little in‑between moments — a touch, a quiet breastfeed, a spontaneous laugh — and preserve them in timeless images. Why choose me? Because being a parent myself, I understand how quickly those first months and years pass. I design shoots as relaxed family time rather than a posed session — often at your home or at a favourite spot around Hamburg. My homestories capture everyday life as it is: close, unforced and full of emotion. The resulting photographs become intimate keepsakes for your family. I work carefully and patiently, especially with newborns and expectant parents. Comfort and calm are my priorities. I use natural light and subtle retouching to create a timeless look. With children I photograph in motion — playing, exploring and unaware of the camera — so the pictures feel alive and true to your family dynamic. The process is personal: we talk about your wishes beforehand, I offer styling guidance and then we spend relaxed time together. Many families appreciate that the session feels like a small family break, full of real moments rather than staged poses. If you want natural, emotional and durable images of your family, newborn or pregnancy in Hamburg and the surrounding area, I'd love to hear from you. Let's make your love visible.
