Newborn and pregnancy photography in Cologne

_____Book your photo shoot____

I eagerly anticipate accompanying you during this special time during your pregnancy and the first days with your baby and preserving the beautiful memories of both your pregnancy and the arrival of your sweet newborn.

Finding a newborn photographer can be a challenging task. I want to assure you that I am not only trained in newborn safety during the photo shoot, but as a mother of three, I also have the experience to handle your baby safely and gently. Newborn photography requires not only photographic expertise and technical skills but also skill, care and patience to ensure a soothing session for the baby and you as a parent. You can trust that I will provide you with a tranquil experience and stunning photos. In my studio I create optimal conditions for your baby's well-being and comfort. During the newborn photoshoot, we maintain a comfortable temperature of 26 degrees Celsius to keep your little baby warm and provide a variety of soft and adorable outfits for your baby. The session schedule is carefully planned to allow enough time for breastfeeding as babies generally sleep best when they are content and well fed.
