Jannette Kneisel Photography

My primary work is family, business and newborn photography — I focus on the moments that truly matter and last. Since 2009 I have been accompanying families through pregnancies, new babies and growing years. Maternity (baby bump) sessions are part of my broader offering: I photograph them with the same care I apply to my main services, but they are an occasional, complementary service. Hi, I’m Jannette. As a mother of two, I understand the tenderness and energy of pregnancy. I design maternity sessions to be calm and comfortable: we choose a location together — at your home, in nature or in my bright studio — and I guide you with patience and an eye for natural, flattering poses. My visual style remains true to my family and newborn work: colorful, joyful, and with a classic documentary mix. How I work: personal, safe and flexible. Before the session we talk about outfits, mood and the image style you want. During the shoot I prioritise your comfort—frequent breaks, gentle poses and natural interaction rather than forced positions. I mostly use natural light (rarely flash) and apply careful post‑processing and selective AI tools to refine colors without losing authenticity. Why choose a maternity session with me? Because I approach pregnancy as part of your family story, not an isolated portrait. Whether you want partner shots, images with older siblings or quiet solo portraits of your bump, I plan sessions that flow into Newborn shoots if desired — so your family story remains consistent and beautiful. I work mainly in Berlin, Potsdam & Brandenburg and I’m happy to come to you. If you want natural, heartfelt pregnancy photos as an addition to your family or newborn package, get in touch — I’ll advise you and help choose the right approach for your shoot.
