SoMi Fotografie

SoMi Fotografie, led by Sonja Böhnke, focuses on sensitive, modern and timeless maternity photography. As a trained photographer and mother of two, Sonja understands the emotional importance of pregnancy and creates a calm, trusting environment where expectant mothers feel confident and comfortable. Her visual approach blends elegant, fashion‑inspired styling with natural moments so that each image tells a personal story. The SoMi residential studio in Ratingen (serving Düsseldorf, Essen and across NRW) offers a cozy yet professional setting. Sonja provides an extensive selection of dresses, bodysuits, fabrics and accessories, and guides clients through styling and pose choices. Sessions are relaxed and well-paced, leaving room for multiple looks and creative ideas without time pressure. Sonja’s method is gentle and supportive: she directs poses, advises on styling and expression, and captures both staged and candid moments. She uses natural light and refined studio setups to highlight the shape and emotion of pregnancy. In post‑production she focuses on delicate retouching and color harmony to achieve a modern but timeless result. SoMi Fotografie treats maternity images as keepsakes: beyond digital files, Sonja helps clients choose fine‑art prints, books and presentation boxes so the photos can be enjoyed at home. Complementary newborn and family photography are also offered, making it easy to document this life phase from pregnancy to family portraits. In short: if you want an experienced, warm and artistically driven maternity photographer in Ratingen, Düsseldorf or Essen who guides you personally and captures your pregnancy in elegant, emotive images, SoMi Fotografie is an excellent choice.
