Sensitive family and newborn photography in Sauerland. With calmness, patience and nursing experience, Sarina creates natural, timeless family images.
I am Sarina Akkathara – a family photographer in the Sauerland region, mother of three boys and a trained pediatric nurse. I love capturing the precious, fleeting moments of family life: the first encounters with a newborn, the small gestures between siblings, or the relaxed laughter during a family session. My goal is to create genuine, timeless photos full of feeling. My approach is calm and patient. With my background as a pediatric nurse I have extensive experience caring for the very young — this gives parents and babies confidence during the session. I take my time, observe and gently guide, capturing natural moments rather than staging them. The result is authentic family photography you'll smile at for years to come. Whether in my small, cozy studio in Lüdenscheid or at your home, I create an environment where everyone feels comfortable. For newborn sessions I work especially gently, allowing breaks and staying flexible. Family and baby photography for me is about telling your story without stress and with great empathy. The process is straightforward: we discuss your wishes beforehand, I lead the session calmly and then share a password-protected gallery. You choose your favorites and receive professionally retouched images. I can also help you order photo books, prints or keepsake boxes so your memories are beautifully preserved. Why choose me? Because I photograph families from a place of closeness: with heart, a professional eye and hands-on experience with children. I love capturing the little details — tiny hands, the scent of a newborn, those intimate looks. If you’re looking for warm, natural and lasting family photos in the Sauerland, I’d love to meet you and preserve your family story in images.
