Melanie Ackermann Fotografie

Melanie Ackermann is a passionate photographer whose primary focus is children’s photography. Since founding her studio in 2011, she has been creating relaxed, playful photo days in nurseries and kindergartens, capturing what she calls “beautiful children’s moments.” Her approach favors warm, natural imagery: thoughtfully designed sets, child-friendly props and a gentle demeanor help her get authentic expressions from little ones. In addition to her core work with children, Melanie also photographs families, newborns and – on occasion – expectant mothers. Her maternity (baby bump) sessions are intentionally gentle and personal: soft natural light, unobtrusive posing and a calm atmosphere are central. Whether outdoors where natural light shapes the mood, or in the cosy glasshouse studio, she ensures the mother-to-be feels comfortable and respected. Personal items and subtle styling are used sparingly so the photographs remain timeless and intimate. Melanie’s experience with children brings a particular patience and calm to maternity sessions, helping create relaxed, authentic images. She typically discusses your wishes and stylistic preferences beforehand to tailor the session to your needs. The resulting images focus on the bond between mother, partner and any existing siblings, captured with a sensitive, natural aesthetic. Why choose Melanie? Because she combines skilled craftsmanship with a family-minded, heartfelt approach: professional technique, a love for natural moments and a sincere interest in your life stage. If you already know her work with children, you can trust that a maternity shoot with Melanie will be handled with the same warmth and care. For booking inquiries and to see recent examples, she recommends checking her social channels where special mini-session dates are announced.
