Photographie Elke Kampeter

My primary focus is portrait, family and business photography in Bielefeld — creating natural, authentic images that reflect who you are. This same personal, calm approach extends to maternity photography, which I offer as an occasional additional service rather than a primary specialization. Every shoot begins with a phone conversation where we discuss your wishes, outfit ideas and the mood you’d like to capture. In the studio I work with considered lighting and gentle direction to highlight the beauty of pregnancy. I often recommend scheduling a baby bump session around the 34th week when the belly is especially present; partners and siblings are welcome to join, creating both intimate and playful images. During the shoot I take time to put you at ease, guiding posture and gestures so the results feel natural and unforced. After the session we select the best images together on screen, and I perform individual retouching tailored to your preferences — no blanket filters, but careful editing that preserves your personality. A few words on background: I trained for three years as a photographer, led a studio, completed a master’s course at the Academy for Photography in Hamburg, and have been self-employed since 1993. This experience gives me a calm, confident manner that is especially appreciated in sensitive shoots like maternity photography. If you already know my work from a portrait or family session and would like to capture this special moment, I’d be happy to plan a baby bump shoot with you. Please get in touch and we’ll arrange the details together.
