Annika Recktenwald Fotografie

Expecting a baby and want to preserve this special time in honest, unstaged images? As a maternity photographer based in Kaiserslautern, I focus on creating photos that show anticipation, closeness and the magic of pregnancy. My style is natural: no stiff poses, no elaborate props—just genuine moments, soft light and your connection at the center. As a mother of two, I bring empathy and practical experience to each session. I understand how important calm, trust and sufficient time are during pregnancy. That’s why my approach is relaxed and personal: we discuss your wishes beforehand, coordinate outfits (you’ll receive a styling guide) and choose the right setting together—whether a cozy homestory at home or a scenic outdoor shoot. The ideal time for a maternity session is usually between weeks 32 and 36, when the bump is nicely visible but you still have enough time. During the shoot I guide you gently, offer posing tips and leave plenty of room for spontaneous, tender moments. My goal is for you to enjoy the session—often the most beautiful photos emerge when you simply relax. I work in Kaiserslautern and the surrounding area and value a warm, calm atmosphere. Couples appreciate that I combine an eye for detail with the ability to create ease—resulting in natural maternity photos you’ll love to display and revisit. If you want authentic maternity images that tell your story honestly, get in touch. I look forward to meeting you, hearing your ideas and creating lasting memories for this new chapter.
