As a portrait and wedding photographer I capture authentic moments with calm and empathy. I also take occasional maternity shoots—natural, loving pregnancy photography.
I am Beate Armbruster – a freelance photographer since 2006. My main focus is portrait and wedding photography; with calmness and composure I capture small and large moments in the right light. My earlier work caring for and supporting children and families gave me a strong sensitivity for people and emotions, which I bring to every assignment, including maternity photography. I occasionally photograph maternity sessions for couples or expectant mothers who want a thoughtful, unhurried approach. My style is intentionally understated: I aim for honest, timeless images that convey the connection between the parents-to-be and the feeling of this special time. Whether outdoors in natural light or in the studio, I guide you gently, offering clear but relaxed direction while leaving room for spontaneous, genuine moments. The process is simple and personal: we discuss your wishes beforehand, choose a fitting location together, and create a relaxed atmosphere during the shoot. From my experience with family and portrait work I know how important trust and calm are—especially for pregnancy sessions. I often use natural light and shoot in both color and black & white depending on which mood best expresses the moment. If you’re interested in a baby bump session, I’d be happy to be your photographer—alongside my primary work in portraits and weddings. I offer honest, personal advice so your maternity photos reflect what matters most: closeness, anticipation, and the beauty of the moment. Get in touch and let’s create sensitive, authentic memories of this special time.
