Edvin Thielemann Fotografie

I'm Edvin — a master photographer based in Dorsten with a special focus on family photography. My approach values real, unscripted moments over staged perfection: a child's mischievous grin, the easy closeness during a walk, or the quiet hug that says more than words. I work in a documentary yet stylish manner, combining technical expertise with a soft, observant presence so that images feel alive and true years from now. Why choose me for your family photos? As a certified Fotografenmeister (since 2019) I bring both craft and sensitivity to every session. More than that, I prioritize human connection: trust, friendship and closeness are the foundations of my work. I create a relaxed environment where children can be themselves and parents can enjoy the moment — that’s where the most sincere photographs come from. How I work: We start by getting to know each other and discussing your wishes and expectations. During the shoot I guide minimally and observe more, capturing the natural interactions that tell the story of your family. The result is a collection of images that reads like a small family chronicle rather than a set of posed portraits. In addition to family sessions, I photograph couples and offer sensitive maternity and newborn shoots. With babies, patience and gentle handling are key: I use natural light and a calm pace to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I serve Dorsten, the Münsterland and the Ruhr area, always aiming to create authentic, timeless family photos that feel like memories. If you’re looking for a photographer who values closeness and real emotion, I’d love to hear from you.
