As a sensitive family photographer near Oldenburg, Ammerland and Ostfriesland, I capture relaxed, authentic family moments. Individual, detail-oriented, and natural-light driven.
Family photography for me is more than a single image — it is the preservation of what binds you together. I am Hendrik Pollmann (born 1992), founder of Bleibende Momente, and I photograph families in and around Oldenburg, the Ammerland and Ostfriesland with a calm, attentive approach. My work is driven by passion, an eye for detail and the intention to capture genuine, unposed moments. Why choose me? I avoid stiff poses and focus on authenticity: shared glances, little gestures and spontaneous laughter. These moments flourish outdoors in natural light, where children can play freely and families can move without constraint. I often work with a fixed focal length lens to capture facial expressions and intimacy while maintaining comfortable distance — always aiming to create images that feel like you. How I work: We start with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to find a location that means something to you. On the day of the session I photograph in a relaxed, conversational way — with humor when needed — so that even camera-shy family members feel at ease. I document a variety of scenes and perspectives, from candid details to warm group interactions. Afterwards I carefully select and edit the images and deliver your chosen photos in high resolution. My style blends documentary sensitivity with warm, natural tones. Whether it’s time together in the woods, a coastal walk, or a cozy shoot at home, my goal is that you see yourselves in the pictures and return to them again and again. My experience as a wedding and portrait photographer informs my family work — giving me confidence in reading emotions, working with light and composing meaningful frames. If you want honest, heartfelt family photos that become timeless keepsakes, I’d love to hear from you — let’s create your lasting moments together.
