Maternity sessions are designed to capture the beauty, intimacy, and wonder of this season of expectancy. Sessions typically take place from 28 to 36 weeks gestation as this is often the time expecting mothers have a beautiful belly to show off and still feel comfortable enough to move around in front of the camera. However, you are certainly able to schedule a session at any point in your pregnancy that you wish! Each session is customized to suit your own personal style whether that means shooting in a blooming meadow, a quaint village, or even in the comfort of your own home. A complimentary client closet is available for those who wish to borrow a maternity dress. Sessions are offered on a first come, first served basis with a signed contract and deposit required to secure your date.
I am based in Stuttgart, Germany and available for sessions throughout Europe. Prices reflect travel to destinations in the greater Stuttgart region including the Böblingen, Esslingen, and Ludwigsburg districts. Additional fees will be applied for sessions beyond these areas.
My schedule generally fills up about 6-8 weeks in advance so please contact me as early as possible to set a date as I hate turning families away! I am occasionally able to squeeze in a last minute session so don't hesitate to send a message if you are outside of that range.
With every maternity session I aim to capture not only your beautiful bump but also authentic laughs and smiles, the love and connection between parents and childrean, and playful moments as well as classic, timeless portraits.
You can expect to be guided from start to finish as you book your session, choose the perfect location, decide on your wardrobe, and are shown how to pose in ways that help you look and feel your best!
If you don't already have a specific outfit in mind, I have a beautiful selection of maternity dresses that are complimentary for use in your session. Please send me a message for more details and to see my full client closet.
Yes! Upon booking your session I will send a link where you can view several full galleries shot at some of my favorite locations in the Stuttgart region. I am, of course, always happy to try a new spot if you have a special place in mind.
Of course! Pets are part of the family and always welcome! Please inform me ahead of time if they will be joining so I can be sure that your chosen location also allows pets.
Your proofing gallery will be sent within 7 days following your session. After selecting your favorites they will be retouched and professionally edited to perfection within 14 days.
If you would like your photos delivered earlier an additional rush editing fee of €75 will apply.
All images will be edited in a vibrant, true-to-color style as shown throughout my portfolio.
Skin retouching is provided for any unwanted scratches and blemishes, and distractions from the background such as people or objects will be removed.
Extensive editing is available upon request and for an additional fee.
Extra images beyond those included in your package can be purchased for €15 each or 10 for €125.
