Katharina Bodmann Fotografie

Katharina Bodmann works primarily as a business, portrait and event photographer, with a consistent focus on authentic, empathetic imagery. Family photography is offered as an additional service: she occasionally photographs families, newborns and children when clients want natural, personal family pictures. Her working style is rooted in patience and sensitivity. With over 17 years of professional experience, Katharina knows how essential a relaxed setting is — especially when children or newborns are involved or when clients feel uneasy in front of the camera. In her small Altbau studio she creates a hyggelig, comfortable atmosphere where people can let go. If preferred, she also photographs on location in places like the Altes Land, along the Elbe or other outdoor spots in and around Hamburg for candid, natural images. For family and children sessions she applies the same careful process used in her primary work: a personal pre-shoot conversation, gentle direction during the session and a calm approach that allows genuine moments to unfold. Newborn and baby photography is handled with great care — allowing for feeding and rest breaks as needed. Baptism, communion or birthday coverage can be arranged on request and are treated with the appropriate sensitivity. Katharina values authenticity: minimal staging, natural poses, and images that reflect each family’s character. She can also connect clients with styling partners and collaborators to ensure a cohesive look when desired. Because family photography is a complementary offering rather than her main specialty, early booking and clear coordination are recommended — especially for newborn sessions or larger family gatherings. Katharina works by appointment and combines her background in business and event work with a warm, personal approach to deliver family photos that feel true and enduring. If you are looking for timeless, honest family images that capture connection and personality, she is happy to discuss your ideas in advance.
