Sonja Röcken Fotografie

I’m Sonja — a family photographer based in Nettetal who focuses on capturing real emotions, natural connections and the small in-between moments that make family life unique. My approach is calm, empathetic and relaxed: I create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves so that authentic expressions appear naturally. My visual style is natural and timeless. I favor soft, natural light and simple, thoughtfully designed Boho settings that put relationships and details at the forefront. As a mother of two and a professional in pediatric intensive care, I bring patience, sensitivity and a calm presence to every session — qualities parents appreciate when working with newborns and young children. The process is straightforward and personal: we discuss your wishes, choose the best location — studio, at-home or outside — and I guide you gently during the session. My studio offers several cozy settings and a client wardrobe with curated outfits to make styling easy. I work playfully with children to capture spontaneous moments and true smiles. After the shoot you’ll receive a curated online gallery with beautifully edited images to choose from. The result are warm, authentic photographs that preserve memories of pregnancy, newborn days, family celebrations, baptisms, communions or simply everyday family life. If you’re looking for thoughtful, timeless family photography in Nettetal that emphasizes emotion and connection, I’d love to help tell your family’s story through images.
