As a family photographer in Witten I capture candid, real moments — homestories, children- and newborn photography. Relaxed, personal and documentary for lasting memories.
I’m Gesche — a wedding photographer based in Witten who also specializes in family photography under the name real + raw moments. My approach is close and documentary: I step into your family life to discover the small gestures and big emotions that make your story unique. Whether it’s a relaxed homestory at home, a playful family session in a park, or the tender first days with a newborn, I focus on authentic, unposed family imagery that lasts. Why choose me? Because I don’t just take pictures — I listen, observe and adapt to your family’s rhythm. My style is light, sensual and honest: I avoid forced poses and look instead for the genuine interactions that reveal who you really are. My background in wedding reportage gives me a keen sense for timing and emotion, which I bring to every family shoot to capture those irreplaceable moments. How I work: Before the session we talk about your wishes — location, mood and any special moments you want to keep. For homestories I document everyday life because that’s where the truest images live. For outdoor shoots I scout fitting locations across the Ruhrgebiet and work with natural light. During the session I keep things relaxed and unobtrusive so that candid, intimate photographs can emerge. What you’ll receive: carefully edited images that show your relationships, tenderness and tiny rituals. My reportages present your family as it is: loud, quiet, chaotic, tender — beautiful. As a wedding photographer in Witten I also bring experience in documenting bigger family events and milestones. If you want timeless, honest family photos — uncomplicated, warm and documentary — get in touch. I’d love to meet you and tell your story through photographs.
