Henrike Leifkes Fotografie

Hi, I’m Henrike — a mum and a passionate family photographer based in Emsdetten. I love capturing those fleeting, honest moments of family life: the laughter during play, quiet cuddles after a long day, and the tiny details of newborn hands and feet. With a calm, empathetic approach and a preference for natural light, I turn these moments into timeless images that families keep for generations. My style blends gentle guidance with documentary observation. I work at the children’s eye level to show your family from the inside rather than from an adult perspective. Whether we meet in my daylight studio in Emsdetten, at your home for a homestory, or outdoors during a relaxed walk, I look for the light and setting where you feel most at ease. That’s how genuine, unforced family photos are created — photos that feel like memories, not poses. Comfort and trust are important to me. I guide you through the session with empathy, offer outfit tips and a curated client wardrobe with timeless pieces. For newborn sessions I prioritise calm, safety and closeness so the pictures remain natural and intimate without unnecessary props. In addition to family and newborn photography I also create authentic business/brand images, but my heart truly belongs to family work. If you’re looking for a photographer in the Münsterland region who works with heart, experience and a sensitive eye for light, I’d love to meet you. Together we’ll create relaxed sessions and unmistakable images for your walls and albums. — Henrike
