Black Kiwi - Fotografie

As family photographers in Dortmund, Iris and Hagen of Black Kiwi focus on authentic, expressive family photography that tells your story. Their work is personal, attentive and dedicated to capturing real moments: laughter, touch, everyday rituals and the small looks between parents and children. They believe authenticity speaks louder than staged perfection — and that is what they aim to preserve. Their approach combines empathy and experience. Iris contributes trained photographic sensitivity for people, while Hagen adds technical expertise and a confident eye for light and composition. Together they create a relaxed environment where children play freely and parents feel at ease. When working with babies and young children, they rely on patience, humor and playful prompts to capture natural, unposed images. Before each session they take time to get to know you: a pre-shoot conversation clarifies your wishes, discusses suitable locations and offers practical outfit and styling tips. Whether in the studio, a homestory or outdoors in nature — they choose the setting where you feel most comfortable and your relationships shine through. During the shoot they guide gently, offer posing suggestions and create relaxed impulses so genuine moments arise. Post-shoot editing is done with sensitivity: subtle and loving retouching that keeps your personality front and center. Final images are delivered via a private online gallery — convenient for sharing with family or downloading. Why choose Black Kiwi? Because they treat family photography as a personal encounter: not just taking pictures, but preserving memories. If you want timeless, emotional family photos in Dortmund, Iris and Hagen look forward to capturing your story.
