Michalek-Fotografie

Based in Langenhagen and serving the Hannover region, Raphael Michalek blends professional technique with a warm, personal approach to family photography. His work focuses on capturing real-life moments, closeness and the small gestures that matter most—images families keep and pass on. Raphael often becomes more than a photographer: he acts as a trusted companion. He brings a mobile studio to your home or welcomes you in his Langenhagen studio. For newborn sessions he creates a calm, safe environment; with older children he uses patience, gentle direction and playful prompts to elicit natural, unposed expressions. From relaxed portraits on the sofa to energetic outdoor playtime and intimate baby images, his aim is always the same: authentic moments, not forced poses. His process is relaxed and tailored: a personal pre-shoot conversation clarifies your wishes—whether maternity, newborn, children's birthday, baptism or communion photos. Together you choose the location, mood and style. On the day of the shoot Raphael takes the time needed to create a calm atmosphere and often reviews images with you immediately afterwards. Families appreciate that sessions are reserved exclusively so there’s no hurry and no interruptions. Technically thoughtful but stylistically understated, Raphael uses light, composition and subtle post-processing to enhance personality without over-editing. With years of experience documenting families from pregnancy shoots to school-age milestones, he offers continuity that turns single sessions into a visual family story.
