Family photography focused on children: natural, relaxed family and children portraits outdoors. Secure online shop with password-protected galleries for parents.
As family photographers based in Mönchengladbach, we (Simone and Carsten Kleinen) bring years of experience from school and children photography into every family session. Because children are our core focus, our family images are honest and unforced — no gimmicky props, but an eye for small expressions, body language and the genuine moment. Our approach is calm and child-friendly: we create a relaxed atmosphere in which even shy children feel comfortable. We often shoot outdoors because familiar, natural settings soothe children and encourage authentic moments. We transfer that experience to family and portrait work — with patience, light humor and a sense for when a moment is real. Parents appreciate our mix of professional quality and practical workflow: after the session the images are delivered in a password-protected online gallery. Only parents can access their child’s pictures, review them at home and order prints or downloads. Data protection and child safety are not just words for us — we operate GDPR-compliantly and use individual access codes for every gallery. Why choose us: our strength is working with children. That makes us a reliable partner for family portraits, sibling photos or images created around children’s milestones. We focus on natural visual language, careful editing and photos that will still honestly recall this time years from now. If you want timeless, authentic family photos that put the child at the center, we look forward to your inquiry. We are happy to discuss your wishes in advance and, if desired, visit you for a pre-session meeting. Schulfotografie-Kleinen stands for secure procedures, respectful handling of children and photographs that preserve memories.
