Manuela Vogel Fotografie

I'm Manuela — your mobile family photographer based in Brockel, passionate about capturing honest, unposed family moments. As a mother of two, I know how quickly children grow and how priceless physical photographs become. I don’t just take pictures; I preserve heirlooms that bring back warmth and memories years later. My style is natural, emotional and life-led: I favour relaxed sessions over stiff poses, focusing on playful interactions and real expressions. Whether it’s a cozy home session or an outdoor shoot, I come equipped and adapt to your needs. Years of experience with families, newborns and maternity sessions help me to quickly put even shy children at ease and capture their true smile. How I work with you: we start with a friendly consultation — by message, WhatsApp or phone — to discuss ideas and wardrobe tips. On the day of the shoot I allow plenty of time: children need space and patience, so my approach is calm and unhurried. I document little moments as they happen. For newborn sessions I follow sleep and feeding rhythms and bring blankets, props and backgrounds. What sets me apart is my warm, patient manner, my sensitivity with the tiniest ones and an eye for intimate gestures between parents and children. I carefully edit the photos to preserve mood and authenticity — delivering images in color, vintage tones or black & white. You receive high-resolution files ready for printing, gifting or albums. If you want heartfelt, authentic family photos — natural, timeless and made to last — get in touch. I usually reply quickly and look forward to capturing your family's special moments.
