PetraM Fotografie

Seeing through the lens with the heart — that guides my work as a family photographer based in Sankt Augustin. I’m Petra, a passionate photographer who notices the small, meaningful moments of family life. My focus is on authenticity: instead of stiff poses I aim for natural looks, real laughter and quiet gestures that become lasting memories. My approach to family photography is calm and empathetic. Whether it’s newborn shoots, baby and children portraits, baptisms, communions or lively birthday and family sessions, I take time to observe, accompany and step in when a special moment arises. Photographing children requires patience, playfulness and flexibility: I offer gentle guidance without staging, creating an environment where grandparents, parents and children feel comfortable. Stylistically I blend documentary moments with carefully crafted portraits. I pay attention to details, light and genuine interactions because the most powerful images often come from subtle, unscripted seconds. Before the session we discuss your wishes and the ideal location — at home, a favourite outdoor spot or an on‑location setup. I’m spontaneous, straightforward and willing to get down to eye level — sometimes that means kneeling to capture the perfect angle. Why choose me? Because I work with emotion, loyalty and care. I love telling family stories and creating photographs that move you every time you look at them. Based in Sankt Augustin, I work with families across the Rhein‑Sieg area and beyond, and I value a personal collaboration: a friendly introduction, a relaxed shooting day and images that truly reflect who you are. If you’re looking for warm, natural family photos filled with closeness and personality, I’d be delighted to meet you and capture your story.
