Clothes and accessories included

For your maternity photo shoot, I’ll provide you with stylish dresses and accessories. You can try them on at your leisure and switch out your favorite pieces as you like. There’s no charge for you to use them.

Your Favorite Place in Munich

The Isar floodplains, the English Garden, or the park just around the corner: I know some quiet spots with beautiful evening light. I’m just as happy to photograph you in my natural-light studio in Trudering or at your home.

You can arrive at your own pace, take a deep breath, and take your time. We’ll take breaks whenever you need them. In a relaxed atmosphere, the most beautiful pregnancy photos will come together naturally.

Personal support right from the start

I’ll personally guide you through the entire process, from your first question all the way to selecting your photos. I’m happy to advise you on locations, outfits, and the shoot schedule, gently guide you during the shoot, and help you choose your photos and photo products.

Harmonious colors and soft lighting

I work with natural light, which creates soft, natural contours. I like to coordinate the colors of your clothes, accessories, and background so that your maternity photos look harmonious.

Anja Jepsen: Your Maternity Photographer in Munich

Passion for pregnancy photography

I’ve been photographing expectant mothers, couples, and families in Munich for over 7 years. Every maternity photo shoot is special to me because I capture your anticipation, love, and connection. Capturing your closeness in maternity photos is my greatest passion.

Specialized and with many years of experience

Maternity photography is one of my areas of expertise. I am BPP-certified and have received several international awards for my photographic work. With over a thousand photo shoots under my belt and regular professional development, I have the confidence to guide you through your shoot.

Personalized advice from the very beginning

From the very beginning, open communication is important to me. I listen to you, am happy to address your requests and questions, and work with you to bring your maternity photo shoot to life. Building a relationship based on trust is important to me, because the best maternity photos are taken in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

It’s hard for us to put into words how grateful we are to Anja for the unforgettable baby bump photo shoot she created for us. It was clear from the very first contact that Anja puts her heart and soul into her work. She took so much time to listen to us, understand our wishes and bring in her own creative ideas that we knew we were in the best hands right from the start!

Anja’s warm and welcoming manner immediately created a trusting atmosphere in which we felt […] completely at ease and in good hands. What particularly impressed us was Anja’s attention to detail and her tireless dedication to capturing the perfect moment. […]

Anja, we are deeply grateful to you for the wonderful memories you’ve created for us. […] We’re already looking forward to seeing you again in the future and capturing more beautiful moments with you! […]

“Dear Anja, we’d like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful maternity photo shoot. ❤️ Right from our very first contact, the communication was so warm and easygoing that we immediately felt we were in good hands. With your relaxed and loving manner, you made us—as a family, including our toddler and dog—feel completely at ease so we could truly enjoy the photo shoot.

“The final photos turned out so great and exceeded our expectations. It’s clear how much heart you put into your work. We’d love to do another photo shoot with you anytime and wholeheartedly recommend you to others! Thank you!!”

CHRISTINA S.

“We had both a maternity shoot and a newborn photoshoot with Anja—and we’re absolutely thrilled.
The atmosphere during the sessions was incredibly pleasant, calm, and at the same time very professional. That’s not always a given, especially with a newborn, but she took plenty of time and showed a great knack for capturing the perfect moment.”

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—natural, heartfelt, and full of emotion. […] We’re so grateful for these memories and can wholeheartedly recommend Anja—and this definitely won’t be our last photo shoot with her!
“Thank you very much!”

PETER L.

“We had a wonderful maternity photo shoot with Anja and are thrilled with the results.

With her warm and friendly manner, she immediately created a relaxed atmosphere, so that we felt completely at ease in front of the camera.

“The selection of beautiful dresses, her eye for special moments, and her knack for capturing atmospheric shots made the photo shoot truly special. The communication before and after the session was also completely hassle-free and pleasant.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and the beautiful memories!”

Exchange ideas

Tell me about your baby bump photo shoot

Do you already have an idea of what you want your maternity photos to look like? Or do you just know that you want to capture this special time and your excitement? Either way is a good start.

Give me a call or send me a message. Then we can take our time to discuss what works best for you. I look forward to getting to know you!

In the last trimester

When is the best time for your maternity photo shoot?

In my experience, the best time for your maternity photo shoot is between the 28th and 34th weeks of pregnancy. By then, your baby bump is nice and round and clearly visible, while you’re usually still able to move around easily and feel comfortable. This is perfect for relaxed maternity photos.

If you’re unsure about this timeframe, are expecting twins, or are concerned about premature labor, it’s best to schedule your maternity photo shoot a little earlier.

I recommend booking your maternity photo shoot well in advance. If you decide on the spur of the moment, I’ll be happy to see if I can find an available slot for you.

Harmonious Composition

My photographic style: Natural light and soft colors

I take natural, relaxed photos without elaborate staging. Instead of perfect poses, I focus above all on the little moments in between: a glance, a hand on the belly, a laugh after a slip of the tongue. That’s how I create maternity photos that capture your anticipation.

Soft Light Without a Flash: I take photos using the soft ambient light. The soft natural light creates a warm atmosphere. This is especially true in the evening during the golden hour, when I capture atmospheric maternity photos.

Coordinated Colors: I enjoy working with a natural, understated color palette. Soft cream tones, delicate beige, gentle gray, and pastel colors create a harmonious visual effect that feels timeless.

Natural Editing: I edit all photos naturally and carefully in my own style. I subtly retouch minor imperfections while preserving your natural features. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests you may have.

The choice is yours

Where will your maternity photo shoot take place in Munich?

For your maternity photo shoot, I’ll tailor everything to your preferences. Many couples love natural light outdoors or the vibe of the city. Others feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings at home or prefer the atmosphere of a studio.

I know some beautiful locations for your maternity photo shoot, but I’m also open to your ideas. Together, we’ll find the perfect spot for your maternity photo shoot in Munich.

Locations für Babybauch Shooting München

Park, Lake, or Forest

Outdoors: Maternity Photos in Nature Around Munich

Munich and its surrounding area offer many outdoor locations for your maternity photo shoot. Idyllic parks, open meadows, rivers, and lakes—as well as urban areas—are all great options for your shoot. The English Garden, with its expansive meadows and shady trees, invites you to linger. The banks of the Isar, with their pebble beach and flowing water, exude a special sense of tranquility.

You can breathe deeply, move around, and just be yourselves. The harmonious colors of nature help capture your joy in maternity photos. You can take a walk together in a park or across meadows, relax under old trees, or enjoy the tranquility by the water.

Each season lends its own colors to your maternity photos. In spring, we’re surrounded by delicate greens and the first blossoms. Summer brings rich colors and vibrant light. In fall, golden leaves and warm earth tones define the natural landscape. And winter creates a unique atmosphere with its crisp air and special sense of intimacy. I recommend an outdoor photo shoot in every season!

For an outdoor maternity photo shoot, it’s a good idea to take the photos in the evening during the golden hour. Just before sunset, your baby bump will glow in the light, and your maternity photos will have warm tones.

In addition, we can capture atmospheric backlit photos of you as a couple. Silhouette shots with your partner, in particular, make for deeply emotional memories.

In your familiar surroundings

Home Story: Maternity Photos at Your Home

An indoor maternity photo shoot offers a special sense of intimacy and comfort. Here, you’ll feel at ease, be able to relax, and just be yourselves—without prying eyes or the hassle of traveling. In the comfort of your own home, we’ll create a maternity photo series that captures the place where your baby will spend the first months of his or her life.

We can use the light from the living room window that filters through the curtains and gently illuminates your baby bump. The couch becomes the backdrop for family moments and sibling photos, and your bed becomes the setting for couple photos. Maybe you’ve already set up a nursery with a little crib, soft blankets, or your baby’s first stuffed animal. These loving preparations will be incorporated into your maternity photos.

You can easily change outfits or let the kids take a break to play. Without prying eyes, we can focus entirely on the photos. Siblings can also join in a relaxed way—they can play in their room for a while or proudly stroke Mom’s belly.

I’d be happy to come to your home. It doesn’t matter whether you live in Maxvorstadt, Schwabing, Haidhausen, Bogenhausen, or any other neighborhood in Munich. I’d also be happy to visit you in the areas surrounding Munich.

Bright and airy

Studio: Maternity Photo Shoot at a Daylight Studio in Munich

In my bright, natural-light studio in Munich, I create stylish maternity photos in a cozy atmosphere. The studio offers you a pristine setting for your maternity photo shoot, regardless of the weather and at any time of year.

In the photo studio, soft natural light streams in through large windows, casting a beautiful glow on your baby bump. The light colors and minimalist decor create a serene atmosphere. I also work in the studio without using a flash.

Trusting atmosphere

What to Expect During Your Maternity Photo Shoot

Pregnancy is a time full of anticipation and emotions, but also of changes and uncertainties. As a mother of three, I understand exactly how you feel. I bring not only my equipment, but also a great deal of empathy, patience, and an open heart.

Time Just for You

It’s important to me that you feel comfortable during your maternity photo shoot. Staged poses don’t fit with my approach to photography. Instead, I’ll give you small tasks and encourage you to just be yourselves. Laugh together, hug each other, and gently caress your baby bump together.

I’ll gently guide you and capture the most beautiful moments as you enjoy your happiness together. We’ll set aside plenty of time so you can try on outfits, change locations, or take breaks at your leisure.

Tailored to your body

In the last trimester, many things become more difficult, and I tailor the photo shoot accordingly. I primarily work with you sitting, standing, or leaning against something, and I avoid having you lie on your back for long periods of time. To ensure your comfort, we won’t hold poses any longer than necessary, and we’ll keep the distances between shots short. We always have drinks on hand and will take breaks whenever needed. I make sure to leave room for your requests and spontaneous moments.

Clothing and Accessories

What should we wear for the baby bump shoot?

Outfits in muted colors and soft fabrics that show your belly but otherwise don’t draw much attention are a good choice. If you don’t have anything suitable, that’s no problem. My wardrobe is available to you free of charge.

Maternity Dresses Are the Most Popular Choice: A dress highlights your baby bump and is the most popular choice for maternity photos. Flowing maxi dresses create romantic, dynamic images, while form-fitting styles accentuate your curves. I’d be happy to help you choose from my collection of dresses!

Great alternatives to a dress: Maternity jeans paired with a form-fitting top or an open blouse create a relaxed look. A blazer over a soft shirt, flowing skirts, or knitwear combinations also look great. For more intimate photos, high-quality bodysuits or silk coats are also a good choice.

Coordinated Outfits for the Family: Your partner’s or siblings’ outfits should coordinate in color without looking identical. Choose a shared color palette in different shades. You should avoid eye-catching logos or garish patterns. If possible, also make sure your nails, hair, and beards are well-groomed.

Stylish Accessories and Jewelry: Subtle accessories add a personal touch to your photos. A delicate necklace, understated earrings, or a piece of jewelry with special meaning highlight your personality. A few carefully chosen accessories won’t distract too much.

Makeup and Hairstyling: Subtle makeup makes you look radiant and highlights your features. For your hair, I recommend wearing it down, with soft curls, or straightened for a romantic look, or a loose updo for an elegant style. Feel free to reach out to me if you need makeup or hairstyling!

My wardrobe for you

My maternity clothes and accessories for you

For your maternity photo shoot, I’ll provide you with maternity clothes, matching accessories, and scarves free of charge. The selection ranges from elegant, timeless cuts to flowing boho styles and minimalist, figure-hugging options.

The dresses are primarily in earthy, natural tones such as terracotta, beige, cream, and white. All maternity dresses are made from natural materials, are comfortable to wear, and are specially designed for maternity photography.

I’ll advise you on outfits and bring your selection of clothes to the photo shoot. You can try on several outfits and mix and match different looks. Many women alternate between my clothes and their own favorite pieces during the shoot.

Three options to choose from

Just you, as a couple, or as a family: Who’s joining the photo shoot?

You decide who should be in the photos. Most photo sessions include a bit of everything: shots of just you, as well as photos with your partner and children.

Pure: Pregnancy photos with you at the center

Some women want maternity photos just for themselves; others simply couldn’t convince their partner. Both are perfectly fine. With no one else in the picture, it’s all about you, your belly, and your connection to your baby. These shots often turn out to be the most personal of the entire photo session, and many women say later that they haven’t seen themselves this way in a long time.

Maternity Couple Photo Shoot: Sharing the Joy of Anticipation

When there are two of you, the focus shifts. Alongside your baby bump, it becomes clear that two people are about to become parents. It’s the little things that make these photos special: his hand next to yours, his forehead resting against your temple, a laugh over something I didn’t even notice. I make sure to include photos of both of you together with your baby bump in every shoot, so that in the end, you’ll have both.

Baby bump shoot with the whole family

If you already have children, they’re part of the family. Children are completely at ease around a baby bump: they stroke it, press their ear against it, and tell the baby about their day. That’s exactly what makes for the most vibrant maternity photos. I photograph the siblings early in the session, while they’re still paying attention, and then continue working with you at a more relaxed pace.

You’re not alone in this

What’s still on your mind before the shoot?

I’m not really feeling comfortable in my body right now

I hear this or similar comments quite often. Many pregnant women tell me at first that they feel a little uncomfortable being photographed. Their bellies are growing faster than expected, nothing fits right anymore, and when they look in the mirror, they don’t see the woman they’re used to seeing. But right now, you’re radiating a very special kind of beauty. Your body is accomplishing something extraordinary, and I want to capture that natural radiance. You’ll be amazed at how radiant and beautiful you’ll look in the photos.

Do we have to pose? We’re not used to being in front of the camera.

Many of my clients have rarely or never been in front of a professional camera before. You don’t need any experience or preparation—it’s my job to guide you. You also don’t have to smile constantly or look at the camera: the best photos happen when you’re engaged with each other and forget about me for a moment. The first few minutes might feel a little awkward, but that will pass. You’re welcome to laugh, stumble over your words, or stand barefoot in the grass. If things do get a little stuck, we’ll do something else or take a break.

My partner isn’t really that into taking photos

Many pregnant women want to capture memories of their baby bump with their partner, but he might not feel comfortable in front of the camera or may have other priorities. Still, you’re allowed to ask for these photos—after all, you’re about to become parents together. Men often arrive at the session feeling a bit hesitant, but then end up being more relaxed than expected because no one is asking them to smile for the camera. If he still only wants to be there briefly: We’ll take the couple photos at the beginning, and then he’s free to go. Most of the time, he ends up staying anyway.

Book your newborn photoshoot right away

A newborn photoshoot usually takes place within the first two weeks after birth, because babies still sleep a lot at that time and curl up just like they did in the womb.

Since this window of opportunity is quite short and there’s plenty to do after the birth, many families book their newborn photoshoot at the same time as their maternity photo shoot.
