Photo-Lauricella

I’m Beate Lauricella — a wedding photographer in Gummersbach who also devotes her heart to maternity photography. Working as a Hochzeitsfotograf in Gummersbach and being spezializiert auf Hochzeitsfotografie has taught me to photograph moments with calm, respect and an eye for emotion — qualities I bring to every baby bump session. My maternity approach is personal and tailored. Whether you prefer the controlled light of my studio, the natural backdrop of an outdoor location, or a relaxed homestory at home, I create a comfortable space where you can be yourselves. I love to include partners — those intimate gestures and shared looks often become the most treasured images. For studio work I provide carefully chosen outfits and props; for outdoor shoots we use golden hour or soft light to capture timeless pregnancy photos. I recommend harmonious, pastel or natural tones — bold patterns can distract from the emotion. A highlight in my offer are Glam sessions: FineArt-style portraits with advanced lighting that celebrate the beauty of pregnancy. These are more elaborate sessions where make-up and hairstyling enhance the final images and create photographs you’ll cherish for decades. How I work: we discuss style and location beforehand, then on the day I make sure the session is calm and fun. I guide poses gently and focus on authentic moments rather than forced poses. Final images are carefully retouched in a style you prefer — from soft FineArt looks to crisp, modern aesthetics. Why choose me? Because I apply the same careful, human-centered approach I use as a wedding photographer to every maternity shoot. If you’re planning a baby bump session in Gummersbach or the surrounding area, I’d love to meet you and create lasting memories together.
