AK-Beautyphoto Fotografie & Kosmetik Anja Kollwitz

As a family photographer based in Stralsund, I blend personal connection with a practiced eye to capture life’s intimate moments. Since 2011 I have been photographing families, babies and children—both in my studio and outdoors—creating images that feel honest, warm and timeless. My style focuses on genuine emotion rather than posed perfection. Working with children requires patience, trust and a calm environment. I provide exactly that: gentle direction, playful prompts and thoughtfully chosen props to bring out natural expressions. For newborn sessions I take special care to ensure comfort and safety. Milestone events such as baptisms, communions or first birthdays are documented with attention to detail and emotional nuance, producing keepsakes you’ll treasure. Because I am also a trained cosmetician and makeup artist, I can offer subtle styling and makeup for family portraits, mama-and-baby sessions or more polished looks. Whether you prefer the controlled light of the studio or relaxed, natural photos on location around Stralsund, we plan the session together so the results reflect your family’s personality. Why choose me: my years of experience in family and children’s photography are paired with sensitivity for mood and light. Sessions are relaxed and child-friendly—no rush, no pressure—so real moments can unfold. I am locally rooted in Stralsund and happy to travel for special locations. With AK-Beautyphoto you receive thoughtful, personalized image series rather than an assembly-line approach. Get in touch for a non-binding consultation—I look forward to making your family’s story visible. Warm regards, Anja Kollwitz — AK-Beautyphoto Fotografie & Kosmetik, Stralsund.
