Family photography in Helmstedt: Franzi at Fotoatelier Glücksmomente captures genuine family moments, homestories and newborns in a relaxed, natural style.
Hi — I’m Franzi from Fotoatelier Glücksmomente. Based in Helmstedt, I specialise in family photography while also working as a wedding photographer in the region. My experience documenting weddings taught me to see and preserve fleeting emotions — a sensitivity I bring to family sessions, homestories and newborn shoots as well. Why choose me? I value authenticity above all. My approach is calm and observational: I let moments unfold naturally, offering gentle guidance when needed so even camera-shy children and parents feel at ease. The result are family photos that look and feel like you — intimate, honest and full of personality. I especially love homestory sessions because the familiar surroundings create a warmth and closeness that shine through in the images. How I work: We begin with a conversation about your wishes and the flow of the session. Whether we meet outdoors around Helmstedt, at a favourite spot like Sankt Peter Ording, or in the comfort of your home, I work at a relaxed pace and prioritize your comfort. For newborn and baby photography I plan breaks and handle each moment with care. During baptisms I photograph sensitively to capture the ceremony and family interactions without intruding. My style is personal and down-to-earth. Building a trusting relationship with my clients matters to me — many families come back for new sessions as their children grow. I draw inspiration from everyday joys: I love flowers, travelling with our camper and spending time with my fiancé Philip and our dog Junior — a genuine, warm outlook that influences my photography. Whether you want family portraits, children and baby photos, a homestory or baptism coverage, I’ll accompany you with patience, experience and a keen eye for detail. Get in touch and tell me a little about your family — I’d be honoured to capture your special moments.
