Photographie Steffi Ziel

My focus as a family and baby photographer is on the moments that connect families: the tiny smiles of a newborn, the candid expressions of children, and the quiet togetherness that makes family portraits meaningful. I’m Steffi, a trained photographer based in Schneverdingen, working across the Heidekreis and nearby regions. My approach is calm, caring and aimed at natural results. In my studio I create a comfortable environment where even the smallest feel safe. I prefer simple props and neutral sets so the relationships and emotions remain the centre of the image. For newborn sessions I prioritise safety and warmth — many clients choose the first two weeks after birth for those particularly tranquil poses, though we always find the best timing for you. The process is personal and well-prepared: before the session we discuss your wishes, plan outfits and sets, and clarify the flow so the day is stress-free. At the studio you can arrive in peace, enjoy a coffee and I will guide you gently through the shoot. Afterwards you receive a password-protected online gallery to view and select your favourite images. Why clients choose me: I combine solid craft with an empathetic way of working. My style is pure and individual — I avoid cluttered props to create timeless images that still move you years from now. Whether a family portrait, children’s session or a gentle newborn shoot, my aim is always the same: to capture authentic moments with care and heart. If you’re looking for natural family photos in a relaxed setting, get in touch — I’d love to meet you and tell your family’s story in expressive images.
