SoMi Fotografie

At SoMi Fotografie, Sonja focuses on photographing families with sensitivity and authenticity. Her approach blends a calm, empathetic manner with a timeless visual style so that the images convey emotion and memory for years to come. Her photography space in Ratingen is set up as a welcoming home studio — a place where parents and children immediately feel comfortable. This relaxed environment, combined with a clear aesthetic, results in natural family portraits whether shot in-studio, in the garden or outdoors in nearby nature. The process begins with a personal pre-shoot conversation to clarify wishes and ideas. On the day itself, Sonja creates a relaxed atmosphere, gently guides poses, and encourages play and spontaneity. Children are welcome to be themselves — these unforced moments often become the most expressive and memorable images. As a trained photographer and mother of two, Sonja pairs technical expertise with an understanding of family life. Her experience in newborn, maternity and family photography ensures sessions are patient, efficient and adapted to your family’s rhythm. Post-processing is done thoughtfully: color, composition and subtle retouching enhance the photographs while keeping them natural. SoMi Fotografie also advises on presenting your images — from fine prints to unique display ideas that turn photos into lasting keepsakes. Choose SoMi Fotografie for family images crafted with care, experience and passion. Serving clients in Ratingen, Düsseldorf and Essen, Sonja looks forward to capturing your family’s story in warm, timeless photographs.
