Annika Recktenwald Fotografie

As a dedicated family photographer, I focus on capturing natural, unstaged moments that show your family exactly as you are. As a mother of two, I understand how quickly the first phases of life pass and how precious those memories become. I accompany families with sensitivity and patience, specializing in family sessions, newborn shoots and maternity photography. My style is calm, unobtrusive and intimate. I avoid stiff poses and forced smiles; instead I search for authentic interactions—laughter, hugs and quiet tenderness. Whether we choose a homestory in the comfort of your home or an outdoor session in nature, my priority is that you feel comfortable and relaxed. For newborn sessions I create a cozy, stress-free environment and allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing and natural bonding moments. The process is personal and straightforward: we talk about your wishes beforehand and I offer guidance on outfits. I provide a style guide and, if needed, gentle direction during the session so everyone feels at ease in front of the camera. I photograph your family as they move and play, capturing the small gestures and candid moments that tell your story best. After the session I carefully edit the images with a timeless look that emphasizes emotion and natural light. You receive your photos via an online gallery where you can choose your favorites. I offer different package options so you can find the right fit for your needs. If you want honest, warm family photographs and a photographer who works with heart, experience and patience, I would love to meet you and help preserve the memories that matter most.
