José Eleonore Fotografie

José Eleonore specialises in family photography and family shoots in Soest and the surrounding area. Her work is about capturing souls — not polished poses, but the honest moments that show who you truly are. With a love for pure, emotional portraits, she creates images you will cherish for years. Her approach is calm and personal. Before the session, José takes the time to listen: what mood and emotion do you want to see reflected, which location suits your family, and which images will look best on your wall? Whether the shoot takes place in her spacious home studio or outdoors in the nature around Soest, she ensures a relaxed setting where forcing poses isn’t necessary. It is precisely in those unforced moments that the most beautiful family photos and children's portraits arise. Working with children requires patience and trust — an area where José truly excels. She actively builds rapport with kids and creates playful and quiet moments so that foregrounds and backgrounds fade away and the focus remains on your family. For families who feel nervous in front of the camera, she offers a warm, guiding collaboration that helps everyone feel at ease and allows the authenticity of your relationships to come through. After the shoot José carefully selects and retouches the best images; you receive the photos professionally edited in a private online gallery (Pixieset). For those seeking a special finish, there are options for fine art prints on premium paper — a choice that aligns with José’s background in artistic portraiture. A self-taught photographer since 2018, she combines technical knowledge with an artistic eye and knows the best outdoor locations in and around Soest for natural light photography. Choose José Eleonore when you want a family photography specialist who does more than take pictures — someone who preserves memories with gentleness, attention, and a personal vision.
