Patricia Bakker Photography

As a wedding photographer based in Leer I often work with big emotions — and family photography is one of my true passions. I’m Patricia Bakker and I specialise in capturing authentic family stories: messy, loud, tender. From bump shoots and newborn sessions to children’s birthdays, baptisms or a relaxed afternoon at home — I accompany you with patience, empathy and a keen eye for the small moments that later become priceless memories. My approach is documentary and unposed. I want you to recognise yourselves in the images: no forced smiles, no stiff poses — just genuine closeness, laughter and those quiet seconds that mean everything. Because of my sensitivity and experience I create a calm, reassuring atmosphere where kids can be themselves and parents can relax — that’s when the truly honest portraits happen. I shoot where you feel most comfortable: on the beach, in a meadow, in your home or at a favourite location around Leer. For newborn and baby sessions I happily come to your home with everything needed. I aim to deliver more than single images: I craft a visual story of your family — a little picture book you’ll return to again and again. How I work: we begin with a relaxed conversation — in person or online — to plan locations, timing and expectations. On the day I bring calm, structure and enough time so that even the most lively children have their moment. Post-processing follows my signature warm, emotional style. If you wish, I can accompany your family across milestones and create lasting keepsakes like fine-art albums or wall prints. Why choose me: I offer technical skill plus genuine commitment, empathy and experience from hundreds of assignments across Germany and Europe. If you want natural family photos — unposed, heartfelt and lasting — let’s tell your family’s story together.
