Julia Gnan Fotografin & Doula

As a family photographer based in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate, I capture your family's unique story — honest, unobtrusive and full of warmth. My work is for families who prefer real moments over posed postcard images: morning light in the nursery, laughter playing in the garden, tender sibling interactions. I value genuine encounters and create photos that later bring comfort, memory and joy. My approach is calm and respectful: I shoot homestories as well as outdoor sessions, depending on where you feel most comfortable. My background as both photographer and doula supports a sensitive, attentive way of working — reading situations, creating trust, offering gentle prompts and mostly observing. This yields family photos that don't just look beautiful but are emotionally resonant. I accompany families through phases around parenthood — from maternity and newborn imagery to postpartum reportage and children's portraits. I pay attention to the little, everyday details as much as the big, emotional moments. As a mother and psychological counselor, I understand how personal and sometimes vulnerable family photography can be, so I handle every session with empathy and care. Working with me is personal and relaxed: we discuss your wishes beforehand, choose locations and timing to suit your needs, and create an environment where you can simply be yourselves. Afterwards you receive thoughtfully edited images that are perfect for family albums, wall art or keepsakes. If you are looking for a family photographer in Weiden who brings heart, experience and sensitivity to her work — I would love to hear from you and capture the moments that matter.
