Achim Mickartz Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Herzogenrath, I—Achim Mickartz—focus on authentic moments, natural visual language and a relaxed atmosphere. My images are meant to be memories you can return to: unposed, emotional and full of small details. Whether it's a family portrait in the park, lively children's photos or tender newborn sessions, my priority is to tell your story through pictures. Why choose me? I bring passion, a relaxed sense of humor and an approach that works especially well with children and new families. My experience from numerous shoots and wedding reports in the Aachen region and Heinsberg district helps me anticipate moments and capture spontaneous emotions precisely. As a wedding photographer in Herzogenrath I also appreciate the importance of timing, calm and sensitivity—qualities that make a big difference in family and baby photography as well. How I work: We first discuss your wishes—preferred locations, colors or moments you want preserved. On the day of the shoot I focus on a comfortable mood: minimal posing, empathy and small prompts that lead to natural reactions. For newborn sessions I work patiently and gently so parents and baby feel at ease. Afterwards you receive carefully edited images that reflect the character and mood of your family. My philosophy is simple: the best photos come when people feel comfortable. That’s why personal contact matters—a short pre-chat, building trust and sometimes a bit of fun create photos that truly represent you. If you’re looking for natural family portraits, loving newborn photos or contemporary children’s photography in and around Herzogenrath, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll create lasting memories.
