KP Fotoart | Katja Pfannenschmidt Fotografie

At KP Fotoart the focus is on portraiture — on capturing personality, subtle emotion and authentic moments. Katja Pfannenschmidt approaches each shoot with sensitivity and calm, creating a relaxed atmosphere where natural expressions and true connections can emerge. Her style is gentle, detail-oriented and rooted in the belief that photography should preserve memories that last a lifetime. While portrait work is her primary focus, Katja also offers family photography on an occasional basis. These sessions are planned individually and carried out with the same thoughtful approach she uses for portraits. She prefers outdoor settings where natural light and surroundings become part of the story — fields, forest edges or lakesides provide soft, living backdrops that enhance intimacy. Many families choose to include their animals, which Katja happily integrates, capturing the special bond between people and their pets. Her process is personal and clear: an initial conversation to understand your wishes, guidance on wardrobe and location, and an unhurried shoot that prioritizes comfort and authenticity. During the session Katja pays attention to light, mood and small details that make each image unique. After the shoot, she presents the edited selections in an online gallery and applies careful retouching to the chosen images. The goal is to deliver photographs that are emotionally resonant and keep memories alive for years to come — pieces you’ll be proud to hang on your wall. If you’re interested, contact Katja to discuss a family or maternity session. She treats family photography as a complementary offering to her portrait work, tailoring each session to your needs and ensuring a relaxed, heartfelt experience.
