Charakterkind Fotografie

Hi, I'm Carina — the person behind Charakterkind. As a family photography specialist based in the Lower Rhine, my focus is on capturing the small and big stories of your family in natural, modern images. I prioritize real connection, spontaneous moments and each family's unique personality: from carefree children's laughter to tender newborn expressions and intimate family embraces. My visual language blends a touch of boho with contemporary clarity: soft, warm and timeless. I enjoy crafting special settings and action-based sessions — a walk at golden hour, cuddles on the sofa or a lakeside picnic become memories you’ll return to again and again. I’m particularly experienced in maternity and newborn sessions and approach these moments with care and sensitivity. How I work: Every shoot starts with a personal consultation — easily via WhatsApp or with a shared Pinterest board. You’ll receive styling guidance; I can provide selected accessories and pieces from a client wardrobe and advise on outfits so that location and style harmonize. On the day I create a relaxed, natural atmosphere: plenty of time for real interaction, playful prompts for children and space for honest emotion. You’ll receive a private online gallery, meticulous editing and full private usage rights — images that work both for daily life and as statement wall art. Whether in the Lichthalle Krefeld, outdoors around Krefeld/Düsseldorf, at your home or for larger family sessions across Germany, I’m happy to accompany you. Why choose Charakterkind? Because I deliver more than photos — I create a relaxed, inspiring experience and images filled with warmth and authenticity. If you want family photos that truly reflect your relationships and stand the test of time, I’d love to tell your story through my lens.
