Ilona Schröder Fotografie

Ilona Schröder captures family moments in Nordenham with a gentle, documentary-inspired approach that focuses on closeness and authenticity. Rooted in the calm and wide landscapes of the North, her photography philosophy is simple: Close – Timeless – Real. Whether in her bright daylight studio on Bahnhofstraße or outdoors at the beach, Ilona creates a relaxed setting where real interactions and little gestures can unfold naturally. Her work is not about posed perfection but about watching, guiding subtly and preserving the fleeting details of family life. The result are images that feel familiar and emotional – understated post-processing, warm natural light and an eye for the tiny moments that become precious over time. The process is straightforward and client-friendly: a short get-to-know exchange (email, WhatsApp or phone), practical planning including outfit tips and access to exclusive shooting dresses, followed by an easygoing session tailored to your family’s pace. For newborns she allows extra time, warming breaks and calm moments to ensure a comfortable experience for baby and parents. After the session you receive a curated online gallery to choose your favorites. Ilona refines the selected images and delivers high-resolution files without watermarks. If desired, an optional short memory video can be added to complement the photographs with moving highlights from your session. While Ilona is positioned as a wedding photographer in Nordenham and specializes in weddings and engagements as core services, her family photography is a primary offering: she regularly photographs families, couples and milestones such as newborns, baptisms, communions and children’s birthdays. Her warmth, sensitivity and quiet professionalism make even camera-shy family members feel at ease, resulting in honest, lasting images. If you want family photos that show not only how you look but how you feel together, get in touch via WhatsApp or the contact form. Ilona looks forward to finding your story and turning it into timeless photos in Nordenham.
