Portrait and reportage photographer Lena Reiner is mobile and natural. She occasionally offers maternity sessions—sincere pregnancy photos without a studio.
Lena Reiner is a people-focused photographer whose main work centres on portrait and reportage: honest, unstaged images of people as they are. That same approach informs her maternity work. Babybump and pregnancy sessions are offered as a secondary service—taken on request when clients want natural, unpretentious pregnancy photography. Why choose Lena? Her photography values authenticity and quiet observation. Working since 2009, Lena specialises in character portraits and documentary-style imagery; this experience helps her capture real moments rather than posed expressions. Her maternity sessions reflect that: they are relaxed, respectful and often take place wherever you feel most comfortable—she is mobile and does not work from a fixed studio. How she works: Preparation begins with a conversation about your wishes, clothing and preferred locations. During the shoot Lena creates a calm atmosphere, guides gently and allows space for spontaneous gestures. Her reportage background makes her skilled at noticing the small, telling moments that make pregnancy pictures feel true and personal. What to expect: A natural aesthetic, thoughtful composition and technical care. Lena prefers images that show individuality and restraint rather than heavy retouching. Since maternity is a supplemental offering, her sessions suit parents-to-be who want sincere, documentary-tinged pregnancy photos rather than highly stylised studio portraits. Background and values: Lena combines photographic practice with journalistic experience and social engagement, which lends empathy and curiosity to her work. Although she photographs less frequently now, she remains available for bookings and accepts babybump shoots selectively—mobile, adaptable and focused on creating honest human images.
