Julia Balko Fotografie

As a maternity photographer based in Pfungstadt, my passion is to capture the unique beauty and emotion of pregnancy in timeless images. I'm Julia Balko — a mother and photographer specializing in pregnancy photography. I understand how fleeting this time is, and my goal is to create portraits that preserve the anticipation, strength and tenderness of expecting parents. My working style is calm and personal: before the session we discuss your wishes so the shoot reflects your story. In the studio I favor natural light and a clean visual style that highlights the silhouette, the connection between partners and the glow of the mother-to-be. A relaxed atmosphere is essential — only then do natural, intimate moments emerge. What sets my maternity sessions apart is the blend of gentle guidance and an artistic eye. I design images to be timeless and focus on meaningful details. You can use a curated selection of fabrics and dresses for the session, and I support you with posing, styling and composition. After the shoot we select the best images together and I retouch them carefully to preserve natural tones and the mood of the moment. As an internationally recognized photographer with many happy families from Pfungstadt and the Darmstadt-Dieburg area, I accompany you professionally from the initial consultation to the final image delivery. Whether you prefer intimate portraits, elegant full-length shots or tender partner images, my intention is to create photographs that reflect the joy and closeness of this extraordinary phase. If you value individualized care, artistic execution and a warm, trusting environment for your maternity photoshoot, I look forward to hearing from you. Together we will create pregnancy photos that keep this chapter alive for years to come.
