Pose and Say Cheese Photography

I’m Swapan Chhabra — your baby bump photographer based in Ettlingen and Karlsruhe. Specialising in maternity photography, I focus on creating natural, emotional and timeless pregnancy photos that capture the anticipation and connection of this unique time. My style favours subtle, authentic moments over forced poses, resulting in images that feel personal and lasting. The process is collaborative and relaxed: we start with a short consultation to discuss your vision, preferred locations and styling. Whether we work in my compact Ettlingen studio or outdoors in a familiar setting, I aim to create a calm atmosphere where you can be yourself. I blend posed portraits with candid moments, using flattering light and careful composition to emphasise the beauty of your pregnancy. Partners, siblings and pets are welcome — these relationships bring warmth and depth to the images. Why choose me for your maternity shoot? I bring artistic sensitivity, patience and experience across portrait, family and newborn photography, which helps me capture the transition from pregnancy to early parenthood with care. Each image is carefully selected and retouched to ensure a consistent, timeless look that reflects your personality. On the day, I offer practical guidance on outfits and simple styling ideas to complement the chosen location. After the session you’ll receive a curated selection of edited images via an online gallery. If you have special concepts — cultural outfits, creative props or lifestyle portraits — I’m happy to realise them with you. Let’s create pregnancy photos that you will cherish for years. Get in touch for a relaxed, no-obligation consultation — I look forward to telling your story through images.
