Based in Babenhausen, photographer Jörn Handdruck creates relaxed, authentic family portraits. He also photographs newborns and maternity with a gentle, timeless style.
I am Jörn Handdruck, a third-generation photographer based in Babenhausen with a deep commitment to family photography. My work focuses on capturing genuine connections between parents, children and siblings so those small moments remain alive in images for years to come. My approach is calm and respectful: I design sessions so that children and parents feel comfortable, avoiding forced poses. Whether it’s a relaxed photo walk outdoors, a family session at home or tender newborn and maternity portraits in a quiet setting, I prioritise natural moments and authentic expression. For newborn shoots especially, I work gently and patiently to portray the intimate, delicate side of this special time. Why clients choose me: I blend years of experience with an open, personal conversation. Before the session we discuss your wishes, choose locations and styles together and plan a flow that suits your family. During the shoot I give small prompts rather than strict directions — that’s when genuine looks, laughter and touching interactions happen and create true family photographs. Post-processing is part of my creative workflow: I focus on natural color grading, careful retouching when needed and delivering images that look great both on screen and in print. My style is timeless and understated — perfect for family photographs meant to last generations. As a local photographer in Babenhausen I enjoy supporting families from the region. Building trust and creating memories that can be felt and displayed is my priority. If you’re looking for authentic family photography — personal, sensitive and attentive to detail — I’d be happy to hear from you.
