KreativNus Schmidt Fotografie

I’m Janine from KreativNus Schmidt Photography — a family photographer based in Wunstorf near Hannover. For me, family photography is about capturing the tiny, unguarded moments: a sleepy newborn hand, a spontaneous burst of laughter, the quiet connection during a baptism or the proud glance at a communion. With my background in social pedagogy, experience as a mother and a calm, patient approach, I create a safe space where everyone — especially children — can be themselves. My visual style is natural, bright and timeless. I work mainly on location in the surrounding nature, using seasons and settings to add emotional depth, while my cozy Wunstorf atelier is perfect for relaxed newborn and intimate family sessions. I keep props minimal and colours soft so the focus remains on your family’s personality. With kids I combine playful activities and gentle portrait direction to get authentic, living images rather than forced poses. Why choose me as your family photographer? Because I bring empathy, pedagogical know‑how and patience in equal measure. I understand children’s rhythms, when to take a break and how to build trust quickly. Parents appreciate that I handle delicate phases sensitively — whether it’s newborn care, maternity glow or milestone events like baptisms and communions. My process is straightforward and personal: we begin with a planning conversation about location, styling and how you imagine the session. On the day I ensure a relaxed pace, show you previews during the shoot and keep things comfortable for little ones. Afterwards you’ll receive an online gallery to choose your favourites; selected images are lovingly finished and delivered in premium quality. As a mobile photographer with a small studio in Wunstorf, I’d love to accompany you on your family journey and create images that truly matter — heartfelt, honest and lasting.
