Karti Fotografie & Film

I’m Kathi from Karti Fotografie & Film — a family photographer based in Vlotho who loves telling stories. For me, family photography isn’t about posed perfection but about preserving real life: everyday tenderness, chaotic new beginnings, quiet moments, and loud laughter. My work is driven by stories — I observe, accompany and capture the moments you’ll want to revisit years from now. My approach is calm, attentive and unobtrusive. I specialize in homestories because the places you feel at home are where the truest pictures happen. Whether it’s an afternoon at home, a walk in nature, or a lively children’s birthday, I shoot in a documentary style with sensitivity to light, mood and small details. The result is timeless, honest family photography that shows not just how you look, but who you are. Trust and closeness matter most. Before every session we’ll have a personal talk: getting to know each other, clarifying wishes and choosing moments and locations that matter to you. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere — often simply observing, sometimes giving a gentle prompt — so authentic emotions can unfold. Family photography is my core focus; I also capture baby and newborn moments thoughtfully as part of your family story. If you like, I can add short family films as a complementary option — not just a still image, but a piece of life in motion. Why choose Karti? I celebrate the beauty of imperfection and bring years of experience to photographing families. I work with heart, care and the desire to preserve memories that still feel alive. If you’re looking for natural, empathetic family photos in Vlotho and the surrounding area, I’d love to meet you.
