Melanie Nguyen Photography

I’m Melanie — a passionate photographer and specialist in maternity photography based in Erkelenz. My work is all about capturing this special time of pregnancy in emotional, authentic and stylish images. As a mother myself, I understand how precious this phase is and I bring heart, empathy and attention to detail to create memories that will still move you years from now. My approach to a maternity shoot is deliberately relaxed and personal. We start with a brief get-to-know — by phone or message — so I understand who you are and how you feel most comfortable. Together we choose the right setting: my studio in Erkelenz offers a warm, earthy boho atmosphere as the perfect plan B in any weather, or we can create beautiful, natural images at an outdoor location of your choice in the region. During the session I offer only as much guidance as needed. Instead of rigid poses I focus on movement, closeness and small interactions so true emotions can surface. I help with outfit selection (including styling tips and a curated selection of garments), pay attention to harmonious color palettes and give practical advice for timeless, elegant results. My aim is maternity photos that reflect your personality and the excitement for your new family member — natural, stylish and unforced. As an experienced maternity photographer I accompany you from preparation to image delivery. After the shoot I carefully back up and edit your photos; you receive them conveniently via a password-protected online gallery. Creating a trusting atmosphere is very important to me — discretion, patience and a gentle approach are my top priorities. Why choose me as your maternity photographer? Because I specialize in maternity photography, because I am a mom, and because I work with empathy and long-standing passion. Whether you want natural studio maternity photos or a romantic outdoor maternity shoot, I’ll support you with calm, experience and an eye for the tender moments that make your pregnancy unforgettable.
