Christina Förster Fotografie

Family photography that feels real: warm, lively and full of connection. I’m Christina Förster, a diploma-trained photo designer and photographer based in Bochum-Langendreer. Since 2007 I’ve been photographing families across the Ruhr area with a relaxed, documentary-influenced style that focuses on genuine moments instead of forced poses. My images are meant to tell your story and carry emotion for years to come. Why choose me as your family photographer? Because I prefer observing over directing. Whether it’s carefree play in the park, intimate newborn moments as a homestory, or quiet, expressive family portraits — I look for the small gestures, the real laughter, and the relationships that make your family unique. As an experienced professional and certified member of the bpp, I combine technical confidence with a warm, approachable manner. My process is personal and relaxed: we talk beforehand to find the right location and concept for you — a homestory at your place, a session at the Uemminger Hof, or natural outdoor portraits around Bochum and the Ruhr region. I create a comfortable atmosphere (sometimes with a little dachshund boss nearby), guide gently so everyone feels at ease, and let authentic moments unfold. I edit each photo carefully in a timeless style so your images reflect everyday life and special occasions alike. Newborn and baby sessions are treated with extra care as homestories, and children’s photography is allowed to be playful, curious and full of movement. In short: I capture families as they really are — with heart, humor and craft. If you want photos that move you and honestly show your family’s story, get in touch. I’m looking forward to meeting you and preserving your precious moments.
