Julia Schlenkrich Fotografie

My main focus is family, newborn and birth photography — that is where my heart and most experience lie. Since 2013 I have accompanied over 500 families and learned how precious real, unposed moments are. From this work I developed a calm, guiding approach that helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Because clients sometimes need clear, professional images for their careers, I occasionally offer application photos and business portraits. This is a complementary service, not my primary specialty, and I approach it with the same commitment to authenticity I bring to family work. Whether you need a classic application photo, a contemporary LinkedIn/Xing profile picture or a friendly business portrait for your website, I prefer natural light and an unobtrusive style that conveys trustworthiness. How I work: Personal contact matters. Before a business shoot we discuss the visual direction — professional, approachable, creative or minimalist — and choose the setting that fits: your workplace, a favourite café or a neutral backdrop. My background in occupational therapy and years of working with families give me an advantage in reading body language and calming nerves — useful when someone feels uneasy in front of a lens. Why choose me: You benefit from the experience of a photographer who values empathy and respect. Business and application photos are an occasional offering that I carry out professionally, without losing the natural image language that defines my work. After the session you receive a carefully curated selection in my visual style so you can quickly use your new profile image or application photo. If you’re looking for honest, effective application photos, LinkedIn portraits or team headshots, get in touch. I’ll advise you in advance and together we’ll see whether my approach is the right fit — because the human connection should always come first.
