Svenja Winkler Fotografie

I'm Svenja — your family photographer in Herford. I love capturing the everyday stories and small moments that make your family unique. My focus is on natural, unposed images that show you as you are: relaxed, connected and genuine. Why choose me? Because I care about people and know how to create a comfortable atmosphere in front of the camera. With years of experience as a physiotherapist and as a mum, I bring patience, empathy and practical know-how when working with children. I meet kids at eye level: they can play, be shy, or suddenly burst into laughter — and those authentic moments are exactly what I aim to preserve. My style is warm, honest and documentary-driven. Whether we shoot family photos outdoors, maternity portraits in soft light, or newborn sessions at home, I look for real interactions and the best light rather than stiff poses. I guide just enough and otherwise let you be yourselves, so the photos reflect true emotion instead of staged moments. The process is simple and relaxed: a short initial conversation to understand your wishes, a calm and child-friendly session, and careful editing of your images. You receive the finished photos in a password-protected online gallery — easy to view and download. I want your photos to become visible parts of your life: on the wall, in albums, and in everyday moments. Trust, warmth and genuine smiles are at the heart of my work. If you’re looking for natural family, maternity, newborn or children’s photography in Herford, I’d love to hear from you and help preserve your memories.
