Stefanie Schmitz Kleines Highlight Fotografie

I’m Stefanie from Kleines Highlight Fotografie, a family photographer based in Hamminkeln. My passion is capturing authentic, natural family moments — whether outdoors in the countryside or quietly at your home. As a mother myself, I understand how fleeting childhood is, and I strive to preserve those genuine connections in images you’ll cherish for years. Why choose me? My style focuses on honesty and atmosphere. I photograph with patience, empathy and an eye for the small, meaningful details — the shared glance, the spontaneous laugh, the gentle embrace. For maternity sessions I aim to preserve the quiet excitement and bond of the expecting parents. Newborn sessions are conducted calmly and respectfully at your home so baby and family feel comfortable. Family shoots are playful and relaxed so children can be themselves, leading to natural, timeless photographs. How I work: Before the session we’ll have a personal chat — usually by phone — to discuss your wishes, find the right location and give small styling tips. During the shoot I guide you gently with simple prompts so real moments emerge naturally. I typically photograph across Hamminkeln and the surrounding areas (Kreis Wesel, Kreis Kleve, Kreis Borken), favoring natural outdoor spots for family and maternity sessions and home visits for newborns. After the session I carefully select and professionally edit the images to enhance light, color and mood. You will receive the final photos in high resolution via download, and I can also create lovingly designed photo books on request. My aim is to give you images that bring a smile to your face and capture the warmth and connection of your family. If you’re looking for relaxed, honest family, maternity or newborn photography in and around Hamminkeln, I’d love to meet you and create lasting memories together.
