As your Heidelberg family photographer, I love getting to take you around the beautiful old city and castle that makes Heidelberg so famous. It’s incredible to see the views and explore the castle with you and your children. Whether you’re living in Germany, or just visiting, Heidelberg makes for a wonderful setting for your photo session.

This dad grew up in Heidelberg and was excited to bring his own children back to see where he spent his teenage years. I know how special it is to get to see your children playing and exploring on your old stomping grounds. And while it was just a quick trip, they’ll have these photographs forever.

We started out on the Old Bridge with incredible views of the Neckar River and Heidelberg castle. This bridge definitely gets busy and it does allow for vehicle traffic, so you have to be ready to dodge a few cars. We then headed up to the castle. The funicular was under construction, and we were a few minutes earlier than the first bus run, so this family decided to make the walk up. I’m always up for whatever – but as your Heidelberg family photographer, if you’re coming with young children, or are pregnant, I’d recommend taking the funicular/bus. It’s a fairly short hike, but it is steep – you’ll definitely be sweating in the summer months.

After finishing up at the castle, you can choose to grab a pretzel and a drink at the cafe, or head back down to the Altstadt and enjoy one of the local restaurants. During one of my last visits, a previous client shared that her family owns a restaurant right there in Heidelberg. I grabbed a bite there before heading back home and can definitely recommend it – so so good and the setting was perfect!
