I'm Sophie — family photographer from Bocholt. I capture honest, atmospheric family and newborn moments and create natural family photos you’ll keep forever.
I'm Sophie Steinebach, a family photographer based in Bocholt who loves to capture genuine family moments. Trained as a photo designer at Deutsche POP Akademie in Cologne, I focus on creating images that feel natural rather than staged. Whether it's a relaxed homeshooting, an outdoor family session in the forest, or a calm newborn shoot, my aim is to create photographs you'll love to look at for years to come. Why choose me? I bring sensitivity, patience and a calm presence—qualities that help even the youngest children feel comfortable. My visual style emphasizes natural light, subtle editing and emotional authenticity so the personality of your family shines through. I prefer a relaxed approach on set: few rigid poses and plenty of room for laughter, hugs and small everyday moments. How I work: We start with a short conversation about your wishes — locations, color palettes, or special moments you want documented. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere with gentle guidance and plenty of prompts that lead to true interactions. For newborn sessions I often recommend staying at home where baby feels safe and the surroundings are personal. I personally select and edit your images so each picture tells an honest piece of your story. I photograph family sessions, children and baby photography as well as newborn and homeshootings around Bocholt and the NRW region. Driven by curiosity, a love of travel and a passion for storytelling, I’m dedicated to documenting your family in a way that feels real and memorable. If you’re looking for authentic, atmospheric family photos — get in touch, I’d love to meet you and capture your moments.
