Stefanie Schmitz Kleines Highlight Fotografie

Hi, I’m Stefanie — your maternity photographer based in Hamminkeln. As a photographer who focuses on families and maternity, I know how special pregnancy is: a time full of anticipation, tenderness and emotion. My goal is to capture this phase naturally and authentically — not with stiff poses, but by creating space for real moments. Why choose me? I specialize in maternity and family photography and bring patience, empathy and an eye for beautiful, soft light. I especially love outdoor sessions — nature provides timeless backdrops and atmospheres that suit every season. Whether a golden sunset or a moody cloudy sky, together we’ll find the perfect location where you feel comfortable. How I work: Before the session we’ll talk by phone or message to discuss your wishes, wardrobe tips and the best timing (usually between week 31 and 36). During the shoot I keep things relaxed and playful: I guide you gently, suggest small prompts and leave room for intimacy, laughter and tender gestures. This approach produces natural, emotional images that tell your story. What you’ll receive: Professionally edited images delivered digitally in high resolution. If you wish, I can also create personalized photo books or prints to your taste. I primarily serve Hamminkeln and the Lower Rhine region (Kreis Wesel, Kreis Kleve, Kreis Borken) and am happy to discuss sessions at special locations further afield. My aim is to give you warm, timeless photographs — memories you will love to look at for years. I would be honored to document your pregnancy and create images that keep this unique time alive.
