Bilderbuchfamilie

I’m Monia from Bilderbuchfamilie — a mother, children’s photographer and devoted family photographer based in Brühl. My work is guided by one simple idea: honest people, real moments, and timeless images. I aim to create character studies that showcase your child’s personality and portray your family exactly as it is — affectionate, lively, messy or tender. My approach is unobtrusive and child-friendly. Whether it’s newborn and baby photos in the cozy comfort of your home, playful children’s portraits outdoors, or relaxed family portraits in my small studio, I adapt to your everyday world. I use playful prompts, patience and short breaks so even the quieter children feel at ease. That’s how candid, lively photos are created, not stiff poses. Being a mother myself, I understand the little rituals and big emotions of family life. That experience helps me recognize moments where genuine feeling emerges — a fleeting glance, a tender touch, an unexpected smile. Technically I favor natural light and a calm visual language so the images remain timeless and suit albums, frames or canvases. In addition to classic family and children’s photography, I offer newborn and baby sessions that prioritize the needs of parents and infants: we work at your child’s pace, ensure a relaxed atmosphere and apply gentle, tasteful retouching. For kindergartens I provide straightforward kindergarten photography that eases staff workload and lets parents order conveniently online. I want the whole process to feel easy for you — from the initial chat to the shoot and the online image selection. I accompany you personally and warmly; a short pre-shoot conversation helps the day run smoothly. If you’re looking for natural, timeless family photos that become keepsakes for generations, I’d love to hear from you.
