Irina Welker Photo

Hello, I'm Irina Welker — a family photographer based in Eutin. My approach to family photography is guided by one belief: every family shoot tells a unique story. I focus on careful preparation, thoughtful styling and a relaxed atmosphere so that natural, timeless family photos are created that you will cherish for years. Why choose me: I combine an eye for authentic moments with structured planning. Before the session we talk in detail: together we develop the visual concept, select a fitting location — whether your home, the beach or a green outdoor spot — and I advise on outfits so the images look harmonious. During the session I gently guide, allow playful interactions and capture spontaneous reactions. Many clients appreciate that I stay reachable via WhatsApp for quick coordination. My style is natural, emotional and timeless. I avoid overly posed images and instead focus on relationships: a shared smile, a tender moment during reading, a child’s carefree laughter. My background in portrait and business photography also informs my handling of group compositions and light management. For young families I offer sensitive maternity (baby-bump) and children sessions: I respect your needs, plan breaks and keep the session calm — producing memories that feel real. Both studio and outdoor shoots are possible; I choose the setting that suits your family’s story. You will receive a curated selection of retouched images in a password-protected gallery. My aim is that you leave not just with photos but with a lovingly told visual story. I look forward to meeting your family and capturing your special moments.
