As a family photographer in Recklinghausen, Michaela Zittlau captures natural, emotional family moments—in studio or at favorite locations. Authentic, relaxed, and personal.
As a family photographer based in Recklinghausen, my priority is capturing the real, small and large moments that define your family. At Momente im Fokus I work personally and closely with you — I want to get to know you so you feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing natural, authentic family photos to emerge. Whether in the studio or on location at your favorite places around Recklinghausen, my style is honest, warm, and unobtrusive. I cultivate a calm, empathetic atmosphere where children and parents can enjoy the session. This approach produces images that feel alive rather than staged. From newborns and baby photography to children and family portraits, and special moments like baptisms or communions, I bring patience and experience to help create photos you will treasure for years. My process is straightforward: we discuss your wishes and select a suitable location or prepare the studio. During the shoot I guide gently when needed and focus on creating relaxed moments. Afterward I carefully sort and edit the images — you can choose your favorites in an online gallery or view them at the studio. Each selected image receives a final polish, including delicate skin retouching, so you receive high-quality digital files or prints. Why choose Momente im Fokus? Because I don’t just take pictures — I tell stories: your story. My work combines professionalism with warmth and the goal of revealing genuine emotion. Rooted in Recklinghausen, I know lovely outdoor spots for family sessions and also provide a cozy studio for quieter portraits. If you value authentic, thoughtfully crafted family photography, I’d love to capture your moments.
