Whether at home, outdoors around Westerstede or at family events such as baptisms and communions, she finds the locations and perspectives that show your relationships and personalities. Her background as a Hochzeitsfotografin in Westerstede — Spezialisiert auf Hochzeitsfotografie — informs a reportage style that tells visual stories. This narrative approach translates into family sessions and newborn shoots: the result is more than posed portraits, it’s a sequence of images that preserves laughter, quiet moments and the small gestures that matter most. The process is straightforward: we start with a personal consultation to define wishes and the best setting. On the day of the shoot, Tatjana creates a calm environment and guides you gently, allowing spontaneous moments to appear. Newborn sessions are handled with care and safety; children and family shoots use play, movement and closeness to capture authentic expressions.
