Gegenlichtliebe - Yvonne Magdziarz Fotografie

Gegenlichtliebe specialises in family photography that tells real stories—honest, emotional and crafted with care. Based in Vreden, Yvonne blends a documentary eye with a poetry-loving approach to light: soft backlight, delicate lensflare and the beautiful imperfection that makes your family unique. Why choose Gegenlichtliebe for your family photos? Yvonne doesn’t just take pictures—she creates heirlooms. Her storytelling style seeks out small gestures, spontaneous laughter and quiet tenderness between family members, turning them into images you’ll cherish for generations. With a background in early childhood education and social work in progress, she brings patience and empathy that especially benefits shoots with children and newborns. How she works: Every session starts with a relaxed chat to align expectations, locations and mood. Whether a cosy homestory, a nature walk or a short outdoor session, Yvonne builds a relaxed atmosphere with music, humour and gentle direction so everyone can be themselves. She uses playful prompts to capture natural, lively moments without forced posing. For the littlest ones: newborn and baby photography is part of her approach—carefully handled, with tasteful props and, if needed, professional assistance to ensure comfort and safety while creating tender images. She also documents baptisms, communions and birthday celebrations with the same observational, emotional style. Rooted in Vreden and serving Kreis Borken and the Emsland, Yvonne brings experience as a wedding photographer to family sessions—her reportage skills enhance every shoot with narrative depth. Warm, authentic and full of heart—Gegenlichtliebe turns your family moments into lasting memories.
