Tina Lais, family photographer from Emden, captures authentic, loving moments—from maternity and newborns to children and family portraits. Relaxed, empathetic and heartfelt.
My name is Tina Lais — a family and children photographer based in Emden, a mother and a passionate image-maker since 2017. My photography is rooted in warmth and authenticity: I want to show you as you are — natural, caring and genuine. That feeling is what I aim to preserve in every picture so that revisiting your photos instantly brings back the emotion of the moment. I work in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, offering gentle guidance so even the most camera-shy children feel comfortable. Whether we shoot outdoors in natural light or in the calm of a studio, I choose the environment that fits your family best. For maternity sessions I also provide a selection of dresses to beautifully emphasize the baby bump. Family photography for me is about storytelling — from the first smiles of a newborn to candid children's portraits and intimate moments at baptisms or family celebrations. I look for those honest, fleeting moments that become your treasured memories. Being a mother myself helps me anticipate needs and interact kindly with babies and children. The process is personal and straightforward: we discuss your wishes, set the place and style, and on the day I create a relaxed atmosphere that encourages real interaction. After the shoot you receive a thoughtfully curated gallery of images — photos you'll love to hang on your wall, put in albums, or share with relatives. What matters most is that you feel at ease and enjoy the time together — because the best, most natural images come from relaxed moments. If you want to preserve genuine family memories in warm, timeless photographs, I look forward to hearing from you. Together we'll create keepsakes that last a lifetime.
