Based in Zülpich, Daniel Wirtz photographs natural family portraits, baby and newborn sessions on location across the Eifel and around Cologne, Bonn and Aachen.
Welcome — I’m Daniel from Zülpich. As a family photographer I focus on preserving authentic family moments: real smiles, small gestures and the everyday intimacy that makes family life unique. I work mostly on location and prefer outdoor settings; the Eifel and the surroundings of Cologne, Bonn and Aachen are part of my regular shooting area and I know many beautiful spots. My approach is relaxed and personal. With children and babies a calm atmosphere is essential: I take my time, observe interactions and only step in gently when it helps. For newborn sessions I work sensitively so parents and baby feel comfortable and natural, intimate images can emerge. What sets my work apart is a documentary eye paired with a clean visual style: I look for unforced laughter, genuine connection and moments of trust. I avoid stiff posing and instead encourage movement and closeness so even camera-shy family members can relax. The process is straightforward: we discuss your ideas and preferred locations beforehand; on the day I create a relaxed environment where children can be themselves while I capture memorable moments. My mobile workflow allows flexibility with weather and mood. After the shoot you receive carefully edited images ideal for online sharing or prints. Whether you want family portraits, baby photography or newborn images — I’ll accompany you professionally and with heart in Zülpich and the wider region. If my style speaks to you, I’d be happy to hear from you and tell your family’s story through photographs.
