Julia Kranz Fotografie

Hej — I’m Julia, a creative soul and mother based in Herford. My family photography focuses on what truly matters: small gestures, genuine smiles, the little chaos and closeness that shape your daily life. Trained in communication design and driven by reportage-style storytelling, I avoid staged perfection and seek emotion. My goal is to create images that bring you back to a feeling, years from now. My approach is relaxed and honest: I prefer documentary-style family sessions, often as a homestory, where I quietly observe and capture authentic moments. Rather than elaborate sets, I bring sensitivity to light and atmosphere, letting your family be itself. That means fewer posed shots, more interaction and intimacy. I also offer children and newborn photography as complementary services, always with the same care. Working with children requires patience, playfulness and short breaks to keep things natural — and with newborns I prioritize calm, safety and gentle timing to capture tender images. Why choose me? I combine a designer’s eye for composition and color with a warm, easygoing manner. This mix produces images that feel both timeless and alive. I love telling stories through photographs — from quiet mornings to big embraces. The process is simple: we talk about your wishes, choose a comfortable setting (your home or a familiar location), and I accompany you in a relaxed way. You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated selection of images that show your family as it is. If you want honest family photos without fuss, get in touch — I’d love to meet you and capture your memories.
