Carsten Janke Photography

Carsten Janke is primarily a wedding, family and portrait photographer who also offers baby bump and maternity sessions as a complementary service. Maternity photography here is an extension of his people-focused approach: mobile, natural and free of studio setups. His style relies on natural light and a relaxed environment. He prefers to photograph outdoors or at your home — places where you feel comfortable and can move naturally. For expectant parents this calm setting is important: it allows genuine emotions, soft silhouettes and intimate portraits to come through without forced poses or heavy artificial lighting. The process begins with a short consultation to discuss your ideas — whether you want elegant silhouette shots, tender portraits with your partner, or playful family scenes including older children. During the session Carsten works quietly and respectfully, offering subtle guidance so your gestures and interactions stay authentic. His background in family and children photography is especially helpful when including siblings, as he knows how to involve them in a way that feels natural and fun. The resulting images are tasteful, timeless and emotionally resonant — beautiful keepsakes from a unique life phase. Because maternity work is offered as an occasional addition to his main services, it’s a good idea to get in touch early to coordinate timing and location. Carsten can also help create a coherent visual story by combining maternity pictures with later family or newborn sessions. If you want natural, unobtrusive pregnancy photos made by an experienced people photographer, Carsten offers maternity sessions with sensitivity and craftsmanship. Contact him to discuss your wishes and plan a relaxed, memorable shoot.
