gh Fotografie - Melanie

Hello — nice to meet you. As a dedicated maternity photographer based in Hechingen, I focus on capturing the quiet strength, anticipation and intimacy of pregnancy in honest, natural images. My photography is personal and heartfelt: I avoid over-styling and aim for photographs that reflect real moments and real emotions. Why choose me? I bring together the perspectives of a mother, doula and photographer. My own experience as a parent and my connection to birth work give me sensitivity and a calm presence during sessions. The result is maternity photography that goes beyond pretty images — it tells your story: the small gestures, soft looks and daily rhythms of this special time. My process is relaxed and personal. We’ll get to know each other beforehand — over a cup of tea or via a short call — so you feel comfortable. During the session I create a warm atmosphere with gentle guidance, natural poses and flattering light. Whether at home, at a favorite local spot in the Zollernalbkreis, or outdoors in golden hour, I adapt to what makes you feel most at ease. I offer subtle, unobtrusive direction and practical guidance on outfits and poses, always keeping authenticity at the forefront. I look for those quiet, unposed moments that become the most cherished memories. As a local photographer in Hechingen, I know lovely locations and strive to create a calm, confident environment where you can celebrate your pregnancy. If you’re seeking a maternity shoot that captures the realness and beauty of this time, I’d love to hear from you—let’s preserve these moments together.
