Ulrike Bessel Fotografie

Hi, I'm Ulrike — a family photographer based in Neuss who loves creating honest, lasting images. For me, family photography is about freezing the small, powerful moments that tell your story: the sleepy newborn cuddle, the playful chaos of a birthday, the tender glance at a baptism. I work with empathy and a relaxed, friendly approach so that parents and children feel at ease and real moments naturally unfold. My focus is family photography around Neuss: maternity and baby bump sessions, newborn shoots, children's portraits, baptisms, communions and birthday photography. We can shoot outdoors in a favourite local spot, in my mini-studio or as a homestory at your home — I’m happy to advise on clothing and locations to keep the images timeless and authentic. Working with children requires patience and playfulness; I build trust and use gentle guidance rather than forced posing. Why choose me? Because people and emotions come first. We start with a conversation to understand your wishes and plan a concept together. On the day of the shoot, I create a calm atmosphere and capture both spontaneous moments and beautiful portraits. Technically I pay close attention to light, framing and a consistent image style while preserving the natural character of each scene. My aesthetic is warm, honest and lively. I blend documentary-style captures with intimate portraits so you receive a varied collection of photos that tell your family's story — perfect for albums, walls or gifts. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Neuss who works calmly, sensitively and with an eye for true emotion, get in touch. I’d love to meet you and preserve your memories.
