Marie Hinkel Fotografie

Marie is a photographer based in Netphen whose primary passion is capturing families, children and newborns — the moments she photographs most often. Because she genuinely loves working with children and families, she excels at creating relaxed, authentic images rather than posed "look-at-the-camera" shots. That same sensibility carries over to her maternity (Babybauch) sessions: while maternity is an additional service for her, each pregnancy shoot receives the same careful, warm attention as her main work. A Babybauch session with Marie focuses on natural pregnancy photos in a calm, comfortable setting. She prefers outdoor locations around Netphen/Siegen or intimate, cozy backdrops depending on what the parents-to-be prefer. Marie emphasizes authentic interactions and gentle guidance so that the photos reflect the mood and emotion of this special phase. Practical details: Because maternity is offered as a secondary service, she recommends booking early. The ideal window for a classic Babybauch session is between the 32nd and 35th week of pregnancy. Marie also offers dress and hat rental on request, making it easy for expecting mothers to find a fitting, atmospheric look without extra effort. How she works: Marie likes to talk through style preferences and location choices before the shoot so every session feels personal. On the day, she creates a relaxed atmosphere with patient direction and plenty of ideas so you feel comfortable and candid moments can appear. She carefully selects and edits the final images with an attentive eye so you receive emotional photos that preserve the memory of your pregnancy. If you already know Marie from her family, children or newborn work, you can expect the same empathetic approach. If you are planning a Babybauch shoot, Marie is happy to accompany you during this meaningful time — offered as a complementary service from her studio in Netphen (NRW).
