As a family photographer, Monika Gross combines her passion for photographing children with a strong sense for expressive portraits. Her goal is to capture genuine interactions within families—no staged clichés, but natural moments, laughter and everyday stories. With patience, spontaneity and a love for kids, Monika creates an environment where both children and adults feel comfortable. Her approach is lively and attentive: persistent, detail-oriented and willing to take creative risks to catch the right instant. Whether working in her studio or during a walk in the Bergisches Land, she approaches families with a calm, playful energy that encourages children and relaxes parents. Her portrait expertise ensures that alongside playful scenes, striking, timeless family portraits are produced. The process is personal and simple: before the session Monika discusses your wishes, suggests suitable locations or studio setups, and keeps the schedule flexible—especially important with children. On set she uses gentle prompts rather than rigid directions, observing closely and stepping in only when shaping the moment is needed. This way, images emerge that show personality and keep memories alive. Why choose Monika? Her years of experience with children and people make her an ideal partner for family photography that feels authentic and enduring. She photographs with an open eye for emotion and detail and brings a fresh, sometimes loud and very spontaneous energy—qualities that often make family photos come alive.
