Simone Schmidt - Fotodesign

Your baby bump is a miracle — and I, Simone Schmidt, capture this precious time with care, experience and artistic sensitivity. As an internationally awarded maternity and newborn photographer based in Kerpen (near Cologne, Düsseldorf and Bonn), I specialize in premium baby bump sessions. My style is timeless, emotional and understated — creating pregnancy photos that preserve not only your belly but the feeling of this unique phase. What sets me apart is over a decade of focused experience in pregnancy and newborn photography, a lovingly designed studio in Kerpen, and a calm, reassuring approach with expectant mothers. From wardrobe selection from my designer collection to lighting and final image selection, I guide you through the entire process. My goal is to present your natural beauty and the bond with your unborn child in elegant, lasting images. How I work: We begin with a conversation about your wishes, color palette and preferred look — whether pure & exclusive or soft and dreamy. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere so you can feel comfortable and confident. With patient posing, refined lighting and an eye for authentic moments, I capture natural, intimate pregnancy images. On request, partner or family moments can be included to reflect your growing family. My maternity shoots are a premium experience: personalised care, professional lighting and composition, and meticulous post-processing so your images become family heirlooms. Whether you want classic portraits, sensual silhouettes or candid documentary-style photos, together we will create a time capsule full of emotion. If you are looking for a maternity photographer near Kerpen, Cologne, Bonn or Düsseldorf and value calm, safety and high-quality pregnancy photography, I would love to hear from you. Let’s capture this magic together.
