FAQ

Your Questions About Maternity, Newborn, Birth and Family Sessions Answered

Where does the shoot take place?

Your birth session will take place at your chosen location, giving you comfort and privacy during this truly special moment.

For maternity and family sessions, we can capture your story wherever you feel most at ease – whether that’s snuggled at home, playing in your garden, walking along the beach, enjoying your favorite café, exploring the playground around the corner, or baking together in your kitchen. Every session is about real, heartfelt moments in the places that mean the most to you.

Newborn sessions happen in the cozy comfort of your own home, where your little one can feel safe, calm, and completely at ease.

What should I wear?

Before your session, you’ll receive a dressing guide I’ve designed to help you choose your outfits. But the most important thing? Wear the clothes that make you you. Your favorite pieces, the dresses that always remind you of that one summer, the shirts you live in – these are the clothes that will make you feel comfortable and confident during the shoot.

Don’t buy anything new or wear fancy outfits you never normally wear. Your clothing plays a huge role in how relaxed and authentic your photos will feel – so stick with what you love and what feels like home.

What do we do when it rains?

In case of rain we postpone the shoot. As soon as the weather forecast predicts a rainy day, I will contact you in good time and we will find a new date together. You can of course call or write to me at any time. We will certainly find another date for your shoot spontaneously.

Do you also offer clothing?

No, I do not offer clothing for customers. It's important to me that you wear the clothes you feel comfortable in. Maybe a favorite piece that you would like to remember.

Can our pets be with us?

I love animals and they are welcome to be part of your shoot. I would be happy to discuss with you individually how we can integrate your pet. Depending on the shooting location, this may not always be possible.

When is the best time for a maternity shoot?

The optimum time is between the 32nd and 36th week of pregnancy. During this time, your belly is nice and round and your baby is hopefully not in such a hurry yet. Please contact me in good time so that we can arrange a suitable appointment.

How will I receive my Photos?

You will receive password-protected access to your online gallery. The edited images are located there and are available for selection. As soon as you have made a choice, I will give you the pictures to download.
