As a wedding photographer in Paderborn, I also specialize in warm, natural family photography. I lovingly capture your mason‑jar moments—from newborns to birthday celebrations.
I'm Dorte — a photographer based in Paderborn with a heartfelt mission: to capture the small and big moments you'll still feel when you look back years from now. I call them "mason‑jar moments" — the memories we tuck into our hearts and preserve through images. While I am known as a wedding photographer in Paderborn, my approach transfers beautifully to family photography. Whether newborn sessions, baby and children portraits, baptisms and communions, or lively family photos for birthdays, I focus on natural images that show real connection. I aim to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents feel at ease. My process is personal and empathetic. Rather than forcing stiff poses, I use gentle prompts, playful moments and attention to small details — hands, glances, spontaneous laughter. Before the shoot we discuss your wishes and choose the right location, be it at home, outdoors or a favorite spot around Paderborn. On the day I accompany you calmly and unobtrusively so authentic moments can arise. Why choose me? Because I don’t just take pictures — I safeguard memories. With years of experience in wedding and family photography, I know how to capture atmosphere while staying discreet. If you’re looking for authentic, warm family photos that reflect closeness and personality, I’d love to hear from you — tell me about your plans and your mason‑jar moments.
