Fotoatelier Balabasov

As a wedding photographer based in Eitorf, I — Andrey Balabasov — also specialise in family photography. For me, family portraits are about preserving fleeting moments that matter: an honest laugh, a quiet look between parents, the tiny fingers of a newborn. With many years behind the camera, I work with a calm, observant approach that helps children feel at ease and parents relax. My style is authentic, unobtrusive and personal. Whether in the studio or outdoors, I prefer natural interaction over rigid posing. The result is family photography that doesn’t just document but conveys the mood of a moment — perfect for wall prints, albums or gifts for baptisms and communions. Working with children requires patience, short play breaks and flexibility. For newborn sessions I pay special attention to gentle light, quiet moments and a comfortable, respectful atmosphere. How I work: we start with a short consultation — by phone or at the studio in Eitorf — to discuss wishes, locations and timing. During the shoot I create a relaxed environment, guide sparingly and leave space for genuine moments. After the session you receive a selection of professionally edited images; I’m happy to advise on choosing favourites and ordering high‑quality prints, canvases or Alu‑Dibond presentations. Why choose me: I combine long experience with heart and a clear visual language. As a member of European photographers’ associations and with recognitions in portrait and wedding photography, I place great value on quality and reliability. If you’re looking for natural family photos in and around Eitorf — from baby photos and children’s portraits to images for baptisms or birthday celebrations — I’d be happy to hear from you. Let’s create images you’ll love for years to come.
