Kristina Linke Fotografie

As a wedding photographer based in Monheim am Rhein and an experienced family and baby photographer, I have a deep appreciation for the special time of pregnancy. A maternity shoot with me focuses on capturing your anticipation and the unique bond of this period in honest, natural photographs — without stiff poses or forced smiles. My approach is relaxed, warm and playful. Before the session we have a friendly, informal chat (in person, by phone or video) to discuss mood, clothing and location. Many of my maternity images are created outdoors in the gentle light around Monheim, Cologne or Düsseldorf, because nature gives us a relaxed backdrop that helps real emotions surface. If you prefer, we can also shoot comfortably at your home. On the day of the shoot I create a calm atmosphere — we talk, laugh, and I give gentle guidance when needed. As a mother myself, I understand the tender and sometimes vulnerable moments of pregnancy. That empathy helps me capture portraits that are intimate, emotional and true to you. You will receive professionally edited images in a personal online gallery so you can easily download and share your favorites. Optional print products or a keepsake box are available to turn those images into tangible memories. Many clients choose to continue with newborn or family sessions afterwards, creating a beautiful visual story of this chapter in their lives. Why choose me? Because I value authenticity over staging, I work patiently and sensitively, and I bring genuine joy to every session. If you want natural, emotional maternity photos in and around Monheim am Rhein — relaxed, authentic and full of heart — I’d love to hear from you. Let’s capture this magical time together.
