Fotogeschichten

Ilka Scheftschik’s family photography is more than taking pictures — it’s about capturing stories, emotions and the special moments of life. As an expert in documentary family photography, Ilka places great value on authenticity and naturalness. Her sessions aren’t about finding the “perfect” pose but about celebrating real family life in all its beautiful imperfections. Her approach focuses on documenting the small, often-overlooked moments that make a family unique. Whether it’s loud laughter, intimate glances, or energetic children with rumpled T-shirts after an exciting day — Ilka tells these scenes through her photographs. Her images are created not only for the moment but for the future: she wants families to look back on their photos years from now and feel the emotions of those moments again. As a proud mother, Ilka understands how precious family time is. That personal experience drives her to document the diversity and dynamics of family life, whether with babies, toddlers or parents. She offers a range of packages from short mini-stories to extended reportages over several hours. Every shoot starts with a detailed consultation to discuss location and the shots you want, creating a relaxed atmosphere where all family members can feel comfortable and show their true emotions. Her photography covers the Rhine-Main area and Nidderau, where Ilka finds perfect settings — at home or at another favorite location. With an open ear for clients’ wishes and a casual, natural approach, she creates an environment where the most beautiful moments can unfold.
