Benno van Walsem - Fotograf

Benno van Walsem’s main focus lies on wedding reportage and business photography — disciplines that shape his approach: unobtrusive, reliable and attentive to genuine moments. Complementing these core services, he occasionally accepts maternity (babybauch) assignments for couples who want a lasting visual memory of pregnancy. Why choose him for a babybauch shooting? His experience with weddings and corporate shoots brings calm, structure and an eye for emotional detail to pregnancy photography. Many expectant parents appreciate a relaxed session where the atmosphere matters more than elaborate staging. Benno often works with his assistant Martina to ensure a smooth, comfortable shoot. How the maternity sessions work: Sessions can take place where you feel most comfortable — a home‑shooting that can achieve a studio look with portable lighting, a short outdoor session, or a studio-style setup on location. Outfits range from elegant gowns to casual jeans or intimate lingerie; props and simple creative ideas are welcome. For clients wanting a documentary approach, Benno offers longer-term series such as a monthly pregnancy documentation (“9 months in pictures”). Process & deliverables: We begin with an initial conversation to define mood, timing and usage. Benno brings technical equipment as needed and collaborates with a make-up artist on request. Final images are individually edited to match the desired aesthetic — natural, dramatic or stylized. Note: Maternity photography is offered as an additional service alongside Benno’s primary wedding and business work. If you are interested in a babybauch‑shooting, contact him for an unverbindliches Gespräch to tailor the session to your wishes and create pregnancy photos that truly reflect this special phase.
