Julia Hopman Fotografie

I'm Julia — your family photographer based in Munich, specializing in natural, loving family and newborn photography. As a mother of two, I know how quickly those precious everyday moments pass. I aim to preserve the small, truthful moments: sleepy smiles, tiny fingers cuddled in hands, and uninhibited children's laughter. My images are meant to show you and to bring back the feeling of that time. My approach is intentionally relaxed and warm. Sessions with me feel more like meeting friends than a formal photo appointment. That comfortable atmosphere produces authentic family photos: I guide you gently, observe, and capture real connections without relying on heavy props or stiff posing. Whether in my bright daylight studio in Ottobrunn, at your home for an intimate newborn homestory, or outdoors at one of my favorite locations east of Munich — the focus is always on you and genuine emotions. For newborns I work with patience and sensitivity to your family's needs. I usually recommend booking in the first two to three weeks of life to capture those sleepy, magical moments. In the studio you'll find a selection of soft newborn clothes and accessories; I also provide a cozy setting with a changing table, warm blankets and coffee for parents. Before the session I’m happy to advise on clothing and preparation so everything feels relaxed and harmonious. I deliver carefully hand-edited images with natural skin retouching and a timeless, warm aesthetic. You will receive your photos via a private online gallery. If you want authentic family photos — images you can feel — I’d love to hear from you and plan your personal photoshoot in and around Munich.
