Petra sieht die Welt

What do you want to remember? That question guides Petra in every family session. Based in Aurich (Ostfriesland), she specializes in family photography that feels honest, warm and unforced. Petra approaches each family with respect and sensitivity, focusing on the small gestures and connections that make your story unique rather than staged poses. Why choose Petra? As a mother who loves the coast, she finds beauty in everyday moments and brings that perspective to her work: gentle light, a restrained visual language and a true feeling for atmosphere. Her images are made to evoke memories — not just to look pretty on a wall. Petra’s calm, welcoming manner helps even shy children and camera-wary parents relax so authentic moments can happen. Her process is client-centred: we start with a conversation to learn what matters to you — favourite places, routines, or any concerns. Sessions typically take place at your home or at a meaningful local spot. After a brief warm-up, she gives gentle prompts and creates space for spontaneity; often the best photographs come from play, cuddles and real life. Petra lovingly edits the photos in her signature style and provides a curated selection for you to view. In addition to family shoots, Petra also documents pregnancy (maternity) and early baby moments, and can combine them into a visual story of your family’s journey. Her main focus, however, remains family photography — capturing connection, closeness and the poetry of everyday life. If you want natural, heartfelt family photos from Aurich and the surrounding area, Petra looks forward to hearing your story. Say hello — and let’s create lasting memories together.
