As a family photographer in Grimma, Thomas Kube combines children photography and portrait work to create authentic family images. His photojournalist eye captures genuine emotion and trust.
For me, photographing families is an exercise in seeing and observing — skills I apply every day in Grimma. As an experienced photojournalist and long-time leader of the Grimma photo club, my focus is on creating natural, unposed family photos that reflect personality and relationships rather than just pretty compositions. Working with children taught me that trust and atmosphere are essential. Kids respond to how a shoot feels, so I keep sessions relaxed, playful and professional. Whether it's a family portrait outdoors, candid everyday moments or individual portraits, I look for those instants when laughter, tenderness or an honest glance occur naturally. My style blends documentary sensibilities with classical portraiture. I often use available light and natural locations around Grimma but deploy controlled lighting and composition when the situation calls for it. The goal is always the same: images that feel real — lasting memories you enjoy returning to. The process is personal and straightforward: we meet, discuss your wishes and the setting, and choose a location and mood together. During the session I create a comfortable atmosphere so families often feel as if a friend accompanied them. I handle image selection and careful post-processing so you receive polished photos ready for print or digital sharing. As an award-winning photographer and member of the German Association for Photography (DVF), I bring technical expertise, experience and a refined eye for composition. If you are looking for natural family photos or sensitive children portraits in Grimma and the surrounding area, I would be glad to accompany you — quietly, attentively and with the aim of preserving genuine moments.
