Michelle Utz Fotografie

I’m Michelle — a mum of two and a dedicated maternity photographer based in Buchen in the Odenwald. I love capturing the tender, fleeting moments of pregnancy and creating images that feel true to you. My approach combines calm, attention to detail and a Boho-inspired aesthetic to deliver natural, emotional maternity photos. In my cozy studio you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere designed to make you feel comfortable from the first minute. Many expectant mothers arrive unsure about posing or how they’ll look; my friendly direction and patient guidance help you move naturally in front of the camera so the results are both beautiful and authentic. A highlight of my service is the client wardrobe — a curated selection of flowing dresses, lace pieces and earth-toned garments in a wide size range. If you wish, my stylist Julia can take care of hair and makeup, so you can arrive completely relaxed. Boudoir-style maternity images are welcome and can be combined with softer, classical poses according to your comfort level. The process starts with a short consultation to discuss your wishes. Whether in-studio or outdoors at golden hour, I focus on capturing the connection and quiet moments that make this time special. Partner shots or individual portraits are gently directed with a clear eye for composition and emotion. After the shoot we choose your favorite images together — in person or via Zoom — and I perform careful retouching to perfect skin tones and color. Why book with me? As a parent and photographer I understand the small details that make maternity portraits meaningful: posture, tiny gestures, and the way light flatters a belly. I work calmly and professionally to create images you’ll treasure for years. If you’re looking for a warm, personal maternity photographer in Buchen (Odenwald), I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create memories you’ll always keep.
