fotorika

I’m Rika — the photographer behind fotorika in Buchholz in der Nordheide — and maternity photography is one of my great passions. I approach baby bump shoots with a documentary, sensitive eye: no stiff poses or forced smiles, but authentic moments that tell your personal story. My images aim to capture the quiet intimacy, the laughter and the small gestures that make this time so unique. Why choose me? My background working with families and children has shaped my way of photographing people: patient, attentive and warm. I want expectant parents to feel safe and comfortable so real emotion can come through. Whether we document a cosy homeshooting or a soft outdoor session, my goal is to create timeless, heartfelt maternity photos. How I work: We start with a relaxed conversation — in person, by phone or via message — to talk about style, location and your wishes. During the session I guide gently but mostly stay unobtrusive so the connection between you and your baby is central. After the shoot I carefully edit the images to keep the natural mood and emotional truth of the moment. For families in Buchholz in der Nordheide, Hamburg and surrounding areas I offer personal support before, during and after your session: outfit advice, location suggestions and quick responses via WhatsApp or phone. I also love recommending tactile photo products made of wood so your images can live on your walls and in your home, not just on a hard drive. Celebrate your pregnancy with images that become treasured memories. If you’d like to book or have questions, I’d be happy to hear from you and capture this special chapter in honest, loving photographs.
