pianoltefotografie

I’m Pia from pianoltefotografie — a family photographer based in Rheinhausen who cares deeply about feelings, real moments and the little big stories of family life. My work is about creating memories that will embrace you years from now: a newborn’s first smile, the proud face at a communion, playful birthday chaos or tender moments during a family session. Why choose me? Because I see photography as an emotional language. Having grown up with a camera, I aim to make images that reflect empathy, joy and authenticity. I prefer gentle guidance over stiff posing: small prompts, playful games and calm direction help natural interaction and genuine laughter to unfold. That’s how I capture family photos that look and feel like you. My studio in Duisburg‑Rheinhausen is a safe, cozy place where kids can be themselves — loud, curious and full of energy. I run sessions in a relaxed, flexible way, adapting to your family’s rhythm and leaving space for spontaneous moments. For baptisms, communions and special family celebrations I photograph with a sensitive, unobtrusive eye to preserve the atmosphere and the key moments. How I work: we start with a brief meeting to get to know each other and plan the session so you feel confident and relaxed. On the day I create a calm atmosphere, guide with warmth and capture the unposed, heartfelt moments. I edit each image with care so you’ll see yourselves reflected in photographs that are emotional, honest and timeless. Whether it’s a newborn session, family portraits, children’s photography, baptism or communion — I accompany you with patience, heart and a keen eye for the moments that matter. If you’re looking for an empathetic and joyful family photographer in Rheinhausen, I’d love to tell your story. xoxo, Pia
