Frau Sellke fotografiert

A maternity shoot is more than a picture—it's the memory of a very special chapter. Based in Idstein and shooting across the Rhine‑Main area, Melanie Sellke approaches pregnancy photography with warmth, patience and an emphasis on natural, unposed moments. Why choose Melanie? As a photographer who works “with heart and camera,” she creates calm, trusting environments where real emotions can surface. Her images focus on authenticity—gentle lighting, timeless compositions and intimate details that show your connection and anticipation. Melanie’s experience as a wedding photographer in the region gives her a practiced eye for storytelling and discreet, respectful working style. How she works: Each session begins with a personal consultation to discuss locations, looks and your wishes. The ideal window for maternity portraits is usually between 28 and 34 weeks; appointments are scheduled individually. You are welcome to include your partner, older children or your pet—Melanie loves to photograph the whole family. A selection of maternity gowns is available to borrow, so you can find the style that makes you feel beautiful. Studio & setting: Shoots can take place in Melanie’s bright, cozy home studio or at an outdoor location near Idstein. The studio is equipped with simple, tasteful props and outfits that range from minimalist to romantic. Melanie’s calm direction helps create relaxed, genuine images—those stolen glances and quiet laughs that become treasured keepsakes. Add‑ons: For families who want both pregnancy and newborn memories, Melanie offers a combined maternity + newborn option to capture the continuity of this life phase. Sessions are by appointment only; Melanie is happy to answer questions by email and plan a session that reflects your personality and wishes. With sensitivity, experience and attention to detail, Frau Sellke fotografiert turns the fleeting moments of pregnancy into photographs you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
