Stadtgören Fotografie

Stadtgören Photography specializes in emotive family photography in the heart of Kreuzberg. Laura Gliesche and Elke Dörfel, both mothers themselves, bring sensitivity, humor and patience to every session to turn everyday moments into lasting "feeling memories." Their core work includes family portraits, newborn and baby photography, children’s portraits and homestories — always aiming for authenticity and emotional depth. Their approach is personal and relaxed: clients are photographed where they feel most at ease. Many families choose homestory sessions at home to capture the warmth, intimacy and small details of daily life. Others prefer the studio near Viktoriapark for calm, controlled lighting, or natural outdoor locations across Kreuzberg, Schöneberg and Tempelhof. Newborn shoots are conducted with baby-safe practices and plenty of patience to ensure a secure environment for the littlest family members. What sets Stadtgören apart is the blend of empathetic interaction and a trained photographic eye. They coax out genuine expressions—the quiet smile, spontaneous laughter, a small hand on a parent’s chest—favoring real moments over posed perfection. Composition and light are used to enhance your story rather than dominate it. They also photograph family occasions such as baptisms, communions and children’s birthdays with respect for the event’s mood, focusing on fleeting moments that become the most treasured memories years later. Their images aim to do more than look good; they should bring you back into the feeling of that moment. The workflow is straightforward: a personal pre-shoot conversation, a relaxed shooting atmosphere, and careful selection and editing of images. Clients often describe the collaboration as friendly, easygoing and full of trust. If you’re in Kreuzberg or the surrounding areas and want natural, emotionally honest family photographs, Stadtgören are ready to capture your story with heart, experience and patience.
