Schopps Fotografie

Michael Schopps is a trained master photographer whose main work focuses on weddings, business and event photography. These core areas shape his confident approach to timing, lighting and composition. In addition, he occasionally photographs maternity and baby‑bump sessions for expectant parents who want a considered, professional keepsake of this unique time. Why choose Schopps Fotografie: With years of technical training and experience, Michael combines a calm, respectful manner with an eye for authentic moments. That same sensibility that serves weddings and corporate shoots also benefits maternity photography: careful planning, gentle direction and an emphasis on comfort and dignity. How a maternity session works: Each Babybauch shoot begins with a briefing — by phone or in the Cologne studio — where we discuss style, clothing, and whether you prefer studio or outdoor photos. In the studio I create a warm, relaxed atmosphere; on location we make use of natural light and surroundings. During the session Michael guides poses in a way that feels natural and helps you relax so the images appear honest and timeless. What to expect: Respect and comfort are priorities. Sessions allow for breaks and are paced to your needs. Technically, Michael uses refined lighting and professional equipment to capture soft moods and flattering contours. You can order high‑quality prints or Fine‑Art outputs if you wish — physical images remain treasured keepsakes. A clear note on positioning: Maternity photography is offered as a complementary service alongside Schopps Fotografie’s main focus on weddings, business and events. If you are interested in a pregnancy photoshoot, please get in touch — Michael will discuss your ideas and arrange a session tailored to your preferences.
