Annette Schachtner Fotografie

Annette Schachtner is primarily a wedding, newborn, family and portrait photographer in the Allgäu. Her photographic work focuses on authentic moments, natural styling and helping people feel confident in front of the camera. Because she regularly photographs expectant families, Annette also offers maternity (baby bump) sessions as a complementary service to her core specialties. Why choose Annette for a maternity session? Her experience with newborn and family work means she understands how to photograph expectant mothers with sensitivity and respect. She captures relaxed, flattering portraits that reflect your personality and the special mood of pregnancy. Annette prefers natural light outdoors for delicate, timeless maternity photos, but she also uses portable flash equipment for comfortable in-home or indoor sessions. Her approach is calm and appreciative: before the shoot she discusses location, style and your wishes so the images match what you imagine. During the session she creates a relaxed atmosphere with gentle guidance, plenty of room for natural poses and emotional moments. Outfit changes are possible and styling details or props can be planned in advance. Post-processing is handled carefully — selected images are edited in Lightroom and Photoshop, and a subtle beauty retouch is available to keep portraits natural and elegant. In-home shoots are possible; Annette can bring background systems and lighting when needed, and outdoor locations across the Allgäu are a regular choice. Please note: maternity photography is offered as an additional service — Annette’s primary focus remains weddings, newborns, families and portraits. If you’re looking for personal, natural pregnancy photos, contact her early to reserve a relaxed appointment and prepare the shoot. Annette looks forward to capturing your anticipation in beautiful, heartfelt images.
