As a family photographer based in Riedstadt, I aim to record the small and large stories of your family with warmth and authenticity. With over 30 years of professional experience and a master photographer title in Hesse, I combine technical reliability with a sensitive eye for genuine moments. My core focus is family photography—ranging from composed studio portraits to lively on-location shoots and intimate sessions at your home. Why choose me: I work gently and in a child-friendly way so babies, children and parents can relax. Many clients appreciate that I don’t only stage photos but also observe: between guided shots the spontaneous gestures, honest smiles and tender interactions appear—those are the images that carry emotion through the years. I also document important family occasions such as baptisms, communions or children’s birthday celebrations, always aiming to capture atmosphere and relationships. How I work: Before the session we briefly discuss your wishes—favorite locations, colors and family rituals. On the day I create a relaxed environment, give light direction and allow space for natural play and interaction. Technically I ensure clean lighting, thoughtful composition and professional retouching that enhances the character of your family without over-processing. In addition to family photography, I offer newborn and baby sessions—gentle, secure and intimate shoots that preserve the first weeks and months. These are presented as complementary services, handled with the utmost care. I look forward to meeting you in Riedstadt or nearby and creating photographs you will love to revisit.
