Lika.photo by Anzhelika Mahota

I’m Anzhelika (Lika) Mahota — a wedding photographer based in Herten who is also passionate about maternity photography. My mission for every baby bump session is simple: to capture the genuine emotions and quiet beauty of pregnancy. I place the expectant mother and her personal story at the heart of each shoot, creating images that reflect anticipation, tenderness and the special bond already present. My approach is natural, sensitive and detail-focused. I favor soft, natural light and pay attention to subtle details — a hand resting on the belly, a loving look between partners, the texture of clothing. Whether we shoot outdoors in a park, in the comfort of your home, or at a location that holds meaning for you, I aim to create a relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable and authentic. I provide gentle direction to help you move and pose naturally so the results feel candid and heartfelt. The process is personal and straightforward. We discuss your wishes, style preferences and location ideas before the session. On the day, I work calmly and respectfully, taking time to capture both posed and spontaneous moments. Editing is done with care to enhance mood and natural tones while keeping the images timeless. Why choose Lika.photo? Because I value true emotion, aesthetic sensitivity and a trusting collaboration. I want your maternity photos to bring you back to this unique time whenever you look at them. Based in Herten, I’m happy to support expecting families from the region with thoughtful, artistic baby bump photography. If you’re planning a baby bump shoot and want a photographer who tells your story with respect and creativity, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll choose the right style and location so your pregnancy photos become lasting memories.
