NATURAL FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Life never seems more powerful, eternity never so close as in the moment when a child arrives on this earth or a loved one has to leave it.
Life with small children is of an intensity and raw beauty like no other time in life. A rush of magic and excitement mixed with bone deep exhaustion,
and in precious moments of quiet we snuggle up close to those tiny, warm bodies and listen to their breathing.
I am a family and portrait photographer based near Düsseldorf, Germany and serving Düsseldorf, Cologne, Neuss and surrounding cities.
My photography is a love story dedicated to your life. I photograph you just the way you are in timeless images full of tenderness and warmth.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I am Kristina, born in 1984 and mother of two.
After playing around with film photography in my youth I dove deep into digital photography while studying for my Psychology degree.
While working as an HR Manager for Germany's largest media agency I founded my photography busines in 2012.
For many years now I have been following my passion full time.
I have always been fascinated by emotional, authentic images of human connection. My children's births and the loss of beloved family members shaped me deeply and I strive to bring this awareness to every photo session.
When we manage to embrace the chaos and the wonder that is the present moment we find true joy amid the noise of the world.

CLIENT REVIEWS
"The shooting was well prepared and really relaxed for all of us. There was virtually no 'posing', only natural interaction - my daughter was allowed to explore the banks of the Rhine, eat melon and collect mussels. We simply accompanied them without looking at the camera all the time.We are really excited about the result!The pictures are beautiful, natural and authentic.Kristina simply has a great eye for the small magical moments with small children!

"First, shortly before the birth of my second child, I did a baby bump shoot with Kristina, about four weeks after the birth our newborn shoot followed. Kristina prepared both appointments very well and arranged them in such a way that we felt comfortable at all times, were completely with us and hardly noticed her as a photographer.As a result we got beautiful shots, totally natural, in our familiar home environment - just totally authentic with a great vibe - a bit melancholic but full of joy ;)Kristina brought equipment with her for both shootings. I particularly liked her kimonos during the pregnancy shoot, which staged my ball very aesthetically.If you like pictures that capture unique moments and at the same time reflect the right mood, Kristina is the right place for you. She also offers suitable products to immortalize the recordings - lovingly packaged."

Rebecca
"Kristina is a very talented and creative photographer, as our family and friends completely fell in love with every image we got, it is safe to say we are a very tough crowd to please. We booked Kristina to shoot our baby's newborn session at our home, and she was very professional, patient, accommodating and efficient, before, during and after our session. We got our images beautifully presented to us, on time, and with a personal touch. We will definitely have Kristina capture more of our family growth and love in the future."
Ivie
"Kristina does a great job. Everything is prepared professionally and she takes a lot of time during the family shoot and responds sensitively to all situations, even if the little ones don't cooperate that much. We were looking forward to the results, but as Kristina she presented to us, we were completely blown away. Now we have a beautiful album with the best memories. Thank you for everything Kristina!"
