Family photography from Göttingen: natural, relaxed family, baby and children portraits. Phileas works empathetically and reportage‑style to create authentic moments.
Natural family photography from Göttingen is at the heart of what I do. I'm Phileas (Phil) Schönberg and I accompany families with a calm, empathetic approach: candid, lively and close to everyday life. My aim is to capture not just how things looked, but how they felt. I often use available light and natural settings—your living room, a park or a favorite place become my studio. Why choose me as your family photographer: I work patiently and sensitively, especially when babies or young children are involved. Clients appreciate my documentary approach: I create conditions in which real moments can occur instead of forcing stiff poses. That results in images that genuinely reflect relationships and small routines—from newborn glances to playful birthday scenes. How we work together: In a first meeting we discuss your wishes and pick the right location and time. During the shoot I ensure a relaxed atmosphere—clear guidance without pressure. Children are engaged playfully; babies are handled with calm and care. After the session you select your favorites in an online gallery; I personally edit the chosen images and deliver high‑resolution downloads. Printed products are available on request. In addition to family reportage, I offer newborn and baby sessions as well as children’s photography for baptisms, communions and special birthdays. As an experienced wedding photographer in Göttingen I also bring an eye for emotional storytelling that enriches my family work. My promise: honest, timeless family photos that preserve your story. I look forward to capturing your moments in Göttingen, Kassel, Hannover and the surrounding area.
