My maternity sessions are not about following trends or ticking off standard poses. They’re about you — your story, your personality, your road to becoming a mother.

Before the session, we’ll talk about what matters to you: how you’re experiencing pregnancy, what you want to remember, and how you want to feel when you look back at these images. From there, we’ll co-create something honest and personal — a mix of documentary moments and intentional portraits shaped by your energy.

Whether you feel playful, introspective, powerful, vulnerable — or all of it at once — that’s what we’ll photograph.

That’s such a common feeling — and one I deeply understand, both as a photographer and a mother. Pregnancy is beautiful, but it can also be uncomfortable, strange, or even disconnected from how you usually see yourself.

That’s why we approach this gently. My sessions aren’t about idealizing your body — they’re about honouring it and the amazing work it is doing. We go slow, we talk, we tune in. I’ll guide you in ways that feel natural, never forced, and we’ll focus on what feels most like you. We are not trying to create a perfect picture, but to capture your experience: trust me, years from now these memories will be important to you.

My maternity sessions are about your whole family — not just your belly. I always take time to connect with your partner and older kids, so they feel seen and part of the story, not like extras in a “maternity shoot.” I create space for natural interaction and shared moments between all of you, with gentle direction only when it helps. This is your story together.

And if you are expecting as a single mom, it is an experience that is equally beautiful to document. Whatever your family looks like, you are warmly welcome here — and we will create pictures that celebrate your unique experience.

Most women book their maternity shoot between weeks 28 and 34 — when the belly is beautifully round, but you still feel comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience.

That said, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Some prefer earlier, especially if they’re expecting multiples or have older kids and want to have plenty of energy to interact with them. Others book later, to capture the final stretch. It really depends on how you want to remember this season.

If you’re unsure, just reach out — I’m happy to help you choose a time that feels right for your body, your energy, and your story.

For you, not much changes — you don’t need to do anything differently, and you’ll still receive your images as high-resolution digital files.

But the pace and feeling of the session are different. Shooting on film naturally slows things down. There’s less clicking, more intention — which often helps you feel more at ease, more grounded in the moment.

Because film needs a lot of light, we’ll plan our session at the time of day when your space looks its best — especially important on those grey Berlin winter days.

The technical side? That’s all on me. You can just arrive as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
