Irina Maier Fotografie

Based in Leichlingen, I specialise in calm, natural maternity photography that focuses on authentic connection and gentle storytelling. Many couples know me as a wedding photographer, and I bring the same sensitivity and observational approach to baby bump sessions: understated, attentive, and full of feeling. My sessions prioritise comfort and authenticity. Whether we shoot at your home, outdoors at a beloved location, or with my mobile setup, I use natural light and minimal posing to create images that reflect the real emotions of this special time. I guide you with small, easy prompts so your interactions remain genuine and relaxed. Before the session we’ll talk through your ideas—clothing, meaningful props (ultrasound pictures, baby shoes, jewellery), and preferred locations—so the photos reflect your personality. On the day I work patiently, allowing breaks and taking the rhythm you need, capturing quiet moments as well as joyful ones. Technically, you can expect professional handling: careful manual retouching that keeps the images natural, secure backup equipment, and a password-protected online gallery for selecting your favourites. My editing aims to enhance without losing authenticity. I serve Leichlingen and the surrounding NRW area, including Cologne and Düsseldorf. If you’d like a maternity photographer who works with calm, experience and a respectful eye for true moments, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll create pregnancy photos that feel timeless and deeply personal.
