Maugoschata. Die Fotografin

In today’s fast-paced world it can be challenging to preserve the genuine, precious moments of family life. Małgorzata Sokała — known as Maugoschata — addresses exactly this. As a documentary-style photographer specializing in family photography, she captures the small, unplanned moments of life in Königslutter am Elm with a unique eye. Maugoschata’s mission is to make authentic relationships visible in the people she photographs. With a particular focus on authenticity, she tells stories shaped by emotion and real experience. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that photography is more than recording images — it’s the art of creating memories that can be passed down through generations. With more than 22 years since first picking up a camera, she learned the craft on analog film, sharpening her sense for what truly matters. Her approach is holistic and individual. Every session begins with a personal consultation to understand the family’s wishes and needs. This creates a relaxed atmosphere where no one feels the need to perform. Sessions often take place in familiar surroundings — a garden or park — where children can play freely and parents can relax and enjoy the moment. This relaxed method results in images that show real emotions and interactions. Whether it’s a newborn’s first steps, a toddler’s laugh, or the joy of a family outing, Maugoschata will capture those special moments for you. Her goal is not just to create the prettiest images, but the truest representation of your family — free of posed or staged situations. With a passion for photography and a desire to touch people’s hearts, she focuses on natural, authentic images. You’ll not only gain a treasure of photographs but also an emotional legacy that enriches your family with stories and memories. Experience what it’s like to be yourself during a photoshoot and bring your family’s unforgettable moments into the best light.
