Anja Russ Fotografie

Expecting a baby and want to capture this fleeting chapter in meaningful images? As a maternity specialist based in Hagen (NRW), I focus on creating pregnancy photos and films that bring you straight back to the feelings of anticipation and love. My approach to maternity photography is gentle, personal and style-driven. Being a mother myself, I know how differently each pregnancy can feel — physically and emotionally. I prioritise your comfort and confidence: no stiff posing, but warm guidance and natural interactions that reveal your connection as a couple and the tenderness toward your unborn child. Before your session we clarify your wishes and mood, choose outfits that flatter you, and plan whether the shoot suits the calm of my daylight studio or the golden light outdoors. My goal goes beyond beautiful pictures: I aim to deliver images and a film that you’re proud to display at home and that will transport you back to this exact moment for years to come. Families choose me because I combine technical experience with a calm, empathetic presence. Each pregnancy shoot is built on trust — I take the time needed, work patiently around breaks and moods, and capture the quiet, intimate moments as well as joyful, spontaneous ones. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who creates pregnancy photos with depth, style and heart, let’s plan your baby bump session in Hagen. Together we’ll craft timeless memories you’ll cherish forever.
