Matthias Scharf - Fotografie

Based in Sasel near Hamburg, I specialise in family photography that preserves the fleeting moments of family life. My work focuses on authentic, emotive images — from classic family portraits that become a focal point in your living room to tender newborn and baby photos, lively children’s portraits, and meaningful shots at baptisms, communions and birthday celebrations. Each session is designed so your family feels comfortable and can simply be themselves. My style blends sensitivity with a clear visual approach. I shoot in the studio, at your home or outdoors in and around Sasel/Wandsbek/Hamburg, choosing the setting that best reflects your family. I create a calm, trusting atmosphere, guide you into flattering poses and find natural moments, even with little ones who may be shy in front of the camera. This mix of candid shots and thoughtfully composed portraits yields images full of life and warmth. A personal meeting before larger shoots helps me understand your wishes and plan the best timing — especially important for newborn and baby sessions. During the shoot I prioritise patience and flexibility, because genuine emotion cannot be rushed. Afterward I carefully select and professionally edit the images; you will receive finished JPEG files without watermarks. Why choose me: I value natural aesthetics, respectful handling of children and adults alike, and a relaxed collaboration. With proven experience in family, newborn and baby photography, I know how to capture your family’s highlights in images you’ll treasure.
