Marina Resthöft, family photographer in Bad Oldesloe, creates natural family, children and newborn images in-studio, as homestories or outdoors at your favourite location.
Hej — I'm Marina Resthöft, a family photographer based in Bad Oldesloe. As a photographer experienced in both family and wedding work, my focus is on creating natural, heartfelt images that reflect the relationships and everyday moments of your family. Trust, calm and authenticity guide every session — whether in my cosy studio, as a homestory at your home or outdoors at the sea, in the woods or on a favourite meadow. My approach prioritises a relaxed, soothing atmosphere: I take the time you need, avoid intrusive posing and use thoughtfully chosen accessories to complement your story. Working with children and newborns requires patience and sensitivity — for newborn sessions I allow ample time, soft light and gentle handling to capture those delicate early days. For kids and teens I prefer locations where they feel comfortable and include their interests and hobbies so the portraits feel personal and timeless. As a wedding photographer in Bad Oldesloe I am practiced at discreetly capturing emotional moments; this experience benefits my family photography too — I observe, anticipate small touching moments and preserve them visually. Communication is important to me: before a shoot we get to know each other and plan details, and afterwards we review the images together in my studio. If an in-person meeting isn’t possible, I provide a convenient online gallery for selection. You won’t receive generic, posed snapshots — I aim to deliver individually composed memories that tell your family’s story. From newborn and baby photos to school and confirmation moments or relaxed family portraits, I accompany you with calm, experience and an eye for what matters. I look forward to preserving your special moments in images.
