Petra Pietzka Fotografie

I’m Petra Pietzka — a maternity photographer who loves to capture the quiet, intimate moments of pregnancy. My approach centers on natural light, soft tones and creating a relaxed, safe atmosphere where authentic emotions can unfold. Your baby bump is a story of expectation, love and change; I aim to translate that story into images you’ll want to revisit for years to come. Why choose me? As a mother of three, I understand how fleeting and precious this time is. I bring patience, empathy and an experienced eye to every session. Whether we work in my bright, cozy studio in Kerpen or at a gentle outdoor location in the Rhein‑Erft area, I focus on simple compositions and an honest, timeless aesthetic that keeps the attention on you and your connection with your child. The process: Before the shoot we’ll talk through your wishes — studio or nature, outfits, and whether you’d like partner or sibling images. I offer a curated selection of maternity dresses and help you choose looks that support the calm, natural feel of the session. On the day I work at your pace, allowing plenty of breaks and moments to breathe so genuine interactions can unfold. My style is minimal and emotional: restrained props, warm color grading and an emphasis on light and touch. After the session I hand‑pick and gently edit the images to achieve a cohesive, timeless look. You receive your photos via a password‑protected online gallery and I only share images publicly with your permission. A maternity session is an investment in memories — an intimate portrait of a family about to grow. If you’re seeking sensitive, professional maternity photography in Kerpen and the Rhein‑Erft region, I’d love to hear from you and plan a session that feels just right.
