Herzgeschichten Fotografie - Kyra Heinrich

I’m Kyra — a mother of two and the photographer behind Herzgeschichten Fotografie. My work focuses on one thing: making real emotion visible. As a family photographer in Hamburg, I create images that feel like everyday life — close, spontaneous and full of feeling — rather than stiff, posed portraits. My sessions take place in relaxed, supportive settings, whether during a walk in nature or simply being together at home, so that your photos transport you back to those moments. What drives me is the desire to make memories tangible. From personal experience I know how quickly children change and how precious these everyday moments are. I therefore adopt a gentle approach: I take the time to listen, understand your wishes and design the session so you feel comfortable and seen. With a calm presence and a lot of small ideas, I create space for closeness, laughter and genuine interaction — the ingredients for images that still move you years from now. My style is natural and emotional. I prefer soft, natural light and locations where you can move freely. I don’t force children into poses; instead I find playful ways to engage them so candid moments arise. This produces uncontrived photographs that show your family as it truly is: full of love, intimacy and character. The process matters to me: we’ll coordinate beforehand to ensure your wishes are heard, I guide you gently during the session to keep things relaxed, and I carefully edit the selected images to preserve the mood and authenticity of the shots. If you want family photos that warm your heart and tell your personal story, I’d love to get to know you. Together we’ll create images that last.
