Fotostudio Bottrop - Friedenstein GmbH

Fotostudio Bottrop – Friedenstein GmbH has built its reputation since 1982 on expressive portraits, warm family images and dependable wedding photography. Our core focus is meeting people — capturing personality, relationships and authentic moments. That human-centered approach guides everything we do, from studio portraiture to event coverage. Maternity (baby-bump) photography is offered as a complementary service. While portraits, families and weddings are the primary focus of our studio, we occasionally photograph thoughtful pregnancy sessions for parents who want a beautiful record of this unique time. These shoots are designed to be calm, respectful and personal so expectant mothers and couples feel comfortable and valued. Our working style blends technical skill with creative sensitivity. We use considered lighting, posing and composition to highlight the natural contours and intimacy of pregnancy without being intrusive. Before the session we discuss styling, backgrounds and any props you want to include, ensuring the final images reflect your taste and emotions. Clients at our studio receive individual attention: a briefing before the appointment, a relaxed in-studio session and careful post-processing of the images. Annette Friedenstein and the team bring decades of experience and a warm, conversational manner that helps even camera-shy clients relax. If you are booking a portrait, family or wedding session and would like to include or inquire about a maternity shoot, please get in touch — we’ll advise you personally and plan the session around your needs.
