LICHTwerk Fotostudio

As family photographers based in Lübeck, we – Sophie and René of LICHTwerk Fotostudio – believe the best family images come from comfort and trust. Our work focuses on authentic moments: quiet newborn cuddles, children playing freely on the beach, and the little interactions that make up daily family life. That genuine, documentary quality is at the heart of our family photography. Why choose us? We shoot mobile and come to the places where you feel most at ease — at home, by the sea or in a favourite outdoor spot. That familiarity helps everyone relax, especially little ones. With years of experience in newborn, baby and children photography and in longer family reportages, we know how to work patiently and sensitively: no hurry, no pressure, just attention to meaningful details. Our approach blends unobtrusive reportage with gentle portraiture when desired. We rarely stage moments; instead we create a calm frame for real interaction to unfold. Birth and early days are especially close to our hearts — those intimate first moments that become treasured memories. How we work: we start with a short pre-shoot chat by phone or video to learn about your wishes and routines. On the day we follow the family’s rhythm, allowing time for feeds, naps and breaks so images can grow from natural moments. After the session we deliver carefully edited photographs that tell your story. Rooted in Lübeck and northern Germany, our visual style favours natural light, warmth and an unobtrusive aesthetic. We love accompanying families over time — from pregnancy and newborns to the first school years. If you want honest, living family photos that preserve memories rather than stage them, we’d love to hear from you.
