Photography by Sevtap Özdag

I’m Sevtap Özdag — your family photographer based in Kalk (Cologne). Since 2012 I’ve been photographing families through their most meaningful moments: newborns, babies, children and family portraits, alongside heartfelt wedding stories. My photography focuses on authenticity and timelessness — images that convey emotion and remain meaningful for years. Why choose me: I combine technical skill with a gentle, patient approach, which is particularly important when photographing children and newborns. I take the time to build trust, engage playfully with little ones and create a relaxed atmosphere that leads to natural, joyful photos. My experience in newborn and wedding photography has taught me how to anticipate moments while staying calm under pressure. My style is emotional, timeless and natural. I prefer to use available light and subtle posing that highlights family connections. Every session is planned personally: we discuss your wishes, favorite locations and small details in advance. On the day I focus on creating a comfortable environment — at home, outdoors or at your event. I often travel up to 1.5 hours because the right atmosphere matters more than distance. How I work: We start with a short consultation to align expectations and logistics. During the shoot I offer gentle guidance and stay alert for spontaneous moments that tell your story. Post-processing aims to present emotions clearly and timelessly. My drive is simple: I love telling family stories through photography and preserving moments you’ll want to revisit. For fast contact I’m available via WhatsApp. I look forward to capturing your family’s memories — warmly, professionally and with care.
