Heartbeat Fotografie - Joyce Schulz

I'm Joyce from Heartbeat Fotografie — a family photographer based near Bad Oldesloe. My work centers on one thing: authentic connection. In my sessions I focus on the little, honest moments that tell your family's story. Whether it’s a family shoot outdoors, a cozy in-home session, or a tender Mommy & Me moment — my goal is for you to feel comfortable and to receive images that touch your heart. Why choose me? As a mother and someone who loves rural life, I understand how fleeting and precious everyday family moments are. I bring calm, empathy and an eye for detail so your photos are natural, emotional and timeless. My style is heartfelt, genuine and detail-oriented — producing photographs you'll return to again and again. I especially care about making mothers visible: you belong in the album, not just behind the camera. How I work: The process is relaxed and personal. We’ll get to know each other beforehand — by phone, video call or WhatsApp — so trust can grow. Before the shoot you’ll receive styling tips and my outfit guide; you can also use my client wardrobe on request. On the day I create a playful, relaxed atmosphere with music and gentle guidance so natural movement, laughter and closeness can happen. After the session I carefully select and lovingly edit the best images to preserve the emotions. What I offer: My main focus is family photography — family sessions, maternity and newborn photography, Mommy & Me sessions and couple shoots (Time for Two). These are my core specialties, with particular attention to mothers and natural family moments. In addition to family work, I also work as a wedding photographer in Bad Oldesloe and the surrounding area, capturing intimate weddings and short reportage with the same heart-led approach. If you want natural, emotional family photos — honest, warm and unforced — I would love to accompany your story with my camera.
