As an experienced family and maternity photographer in Waltrop, I capture the intimacy and joy of pregnancy in natural, emotional images. Personal, relaxed and attentive.
Pregnancy is a unique chapter—full of anticipation, tenderness and unforgettable moments. As a family- and maternity-focused photographer based in Waltrop, my passion is to preserve these weeks in honest, emotional photographs. I aim to create ‘little moments of bliss’ that you will cherish and revisit for years to come. My approach is warm and unobtrusive. I prefer natural light and locations that feel familiar—whether it’s a quiet spot near Waltrop, a favorite outdoor place, or the comfort of your own home. Creating a relaxed atmosphere is essential so you can be yourselves. Many expectant parents tell me they were surprised how naturally they relaxed during the session thanks to gentle guidance, small posing suggestions and plenty of space for genuine feeling. I consider myself more than a technician—I’m a companion on this journey. Before the session we talk through your wishes, preferred styles and any concerns. You choose whether you want intimate portraits, playful moments with partner and children, or natural outdoor scenes. My eye for detail focuses on the little gestures—the hands on the belly, the exchanged glances, the small interactions—that together tell your story. As a mother and family person I understand how quickly time passes, and that experience informs every image I create: with empathy, respect and the goal of making lasting memories. I work across Germany but am rooted in Waltrop and value that local connection. If you’re looking for a maternity shoot that reflects your personality and captures real emotion, get in touch—your Nelli will accompany you with heart and calm.
