Jennie Keil Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Gießen, I love capturing the small and significant moments of family life in honest, emotional images. My style is not about stiff posing but about gentle direction and playful prompts that allow real connections to show. The result are family photos you don't just look at, but feel. I’m Jennie — a wedding photographer in Gießen who brings the same documentary sensitivity to family shoots. Years of experience photographing weddings and emotional reportages inform how I observe and anticipate moments, so I can capture authentic interactions between parents, children and extended family. Whether it’s a cozy in-home session, playful time in nature, or a calm newborn shoot, I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. My approach is warm, unobtrusive and personal. We’ll start with a conversation to make sure the chemistry is right. On the day I give small tasks and games that invite laughter and closeness, while using light and composition to craft images with depth and mood. Technical skill and an eye for light complete the picture, turning fleeting moments into lasting memories. In addition to classic family portraits, I document the first weeks with sensitive newborn photography. I also offer children’s sessions and accompany special family events like baptisms, communions and birthdays — always prioritizing authenticity and emotional storytelling. These services are a natural extension of my family work and are treated with the same care as my larger reportages. Why choose me? Because I don’t just take pictures — I tell your story with respect and heart. I want you to see yourselves in the images, with all the small gestures, hugs and laughter that make your family unique. If you’re looking for a compassionate family photographer in or around Gießen, I’d love to meet you and capture your story.
