photoand-more

As a family photographer based in Hameln, photoand-more (owner: Markus Schrader) blends technical skill with a genuine passion for capturing tender family moments. I believe the best family photographs come when everyone feels relaxed and natural — so my approach is calm, personal and patient. From maternity and newborn sessions to children's portraits, I prioritise authenticity over posed perfection. My method centers on you and your family. I work with sensitivity, include parents and siblings in the images, and allow time for breaks or favourite toys to help children feel comfortable. For newborn sessions I use carefully chosen props and always place safety and calm first. In maternity and family shoots I focus on lighting and simple compositions that highlight relationships and personality. What sets me apart is the combination of photographic experience and a warm working style. With a background in portrait and newborn photography I understand the special needs of photographing babies and children and know how to capture natural expressions and interactions. Post‑production is part of my service: I carefully edit images to refine the mood and remove small imperfections so you receive photos you’ll proudly print and share. How a shoot works: we discuss your wishes in advance — outfits, special moments or preferred styles. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere where children can be themselves. After the shoot you receive the edited images in high resolution and can choose prints or other photo products. Why choose photoand-more? Because I don’t just take pictures — I preserve family stories: honest, timeless memories that still move you years from now. If you want natural family photos with patience, experience and heart, get in touch and we’ll plan your session.
