AV Photography in Paderborn creates natural, emotional family photos — from newborns and children to baptisms. Personal, relaxed approach with time to build trust.
As AV Photography and a wedding photographer based in Paderborn, I — Viktor Koljaev — bring the same attention to detail and passion to family photography as I do to weddings. My focus as a family photographer is to create honest, timeless images that capture the personality of your family and the small moments that matter most. Why choose me: I work in a relaxed, trusting atmosphere and take the necessary time for every session. Whether it’s newborn portraits, baby and children photography, baptisms, communions or a lively children’s birthday, my aim is to capture natural emotions and genuine connections. My style is calm, warm and narrative — images that tell your story without forced posing. What makes my approach special: I blend documentary observation with gentle direction. Instead of rigid posing, I create circumstances where children feel safe and parents can be themselves, allowing spontaneous moments, warm looks and little gestures to come through. My experience as a wedding photographer in Paderborn taught me discretion and timing — strengths that benefit family shoots as well. How we work together: We begin with a non-binding meeting to talk through your expectations and plan the session. On the day of the shoot I focus on creating a comfortable atmosphere and provide subtle guidance so the experience remains enjoyable. Image selection and professional editing are carried out with the same dedication to style and longevity that you expect from my wedding photography. I love photography and look forward to helping you preserve the chapters of your family life in thoughtful, lasting images.
