Nora Kolbe Fotografie

Nora Kolbe focuses primarily on portrait, family and maternity photography, creating sensual and emotionally honest images that put people first. With a warm, relaxed approach she helps clients feel comfortable in front of the camera — even those who usually shy away from photos. Nora has worked independently since 2010 and blends technical know-how with a sensitive eye for light, mood and authentic gestures. Her style is aesthetic and timeless, aimed at producing images that resonate long after the session. Her process begins with a conversation to find the right setting: at home, outdoors among industrial or natural backdrops, or in a rented studio. The shoot itself is designed to be enjoyable and empowering — a moment of attention and self-acceptance. Technical work and editing serve the image: Nora optimizes images in her digital darkroom with subtle retouching and a cohesive color or analog-inspired black-and-white look to enhance the emotional quality of the photos. Nora specialises in maternity (babybauch), family and individual portrait sessions, documenting life’s small and important moments with empathy. Because she values personal connection, she also accepts requests to photograph small, intimate weddings. These assignments are managed as quiet, documentary-led coverages: unobtrusive reportage moments, a relaxed couple session, and optionally engagement photos — all tailored to couples who prefer authenticity over spectacle. If you are looking for a photographer whose main focus is sensitive portraits, families and maternity sessions — and who can, upon request, provide a gentle wedding accompaniment — Nora is a considered choice. Her work is grounded in respect, body positivity and the desire to show people as they truly are.
