Pregnancy is the beginning of everything. A new chapter. A shift. A becoming.
Whether you're a new mom in Munich, an expat expecting far from home, or adding to a family already full of love and laughter, this season deserves to be remembered. It's full of anticipation, wonder, and quiet transformation. And as fleeting as it can feel, these are days you'll want to hold onto.
My maternity sessions are gentle and deeply intentional—meant to reflect your connection, not just to the baby you’re growing, but to your partner, your older children, and yourself. There’s no pressure to “perform” or look a certain way. For families expecting in Munich—especially expats navigating pregnancy in a new country—I want you to feel supported, understood, and excited about preserving this moment.
You can book a stand-alone maternity session, or choose a bundle that includes both maternity and newborn photography—a thoughtful way to document your full journey into motherhood.
A Celebration of New Beginnings.

"I almost skipped maternity photos because I felt silly with so much focus on me, but my husband encouraged me to do something special for myself. Meg made me feel so at ease. The images she captured are now some of my most treasured — I’m so grateful I said yes."

Your body is changing, your heart is expanding, and life as you know it is about to shift forever. Maternity sessions aren’t just about the baby bump — they’re about honoring this beautiful, in-between season of anticipation, transformation, and quiet connection.
I know — you might not feel your most photogenic. You might be tired, uncomfortable, or wondering if you’ll even “look like yourself.”
But I promise: there’s beauty here. And it deserves to be remembered.
Maternity photography is about so much more than just documenting your pregnancy. It’s about capturing your strength. Your softness. The way your partner looks at you. The way you’re already mothering before your baby even arrives.
I want you to look back on these photos and remember what it felt like to be on the edge of something new.
COME AS YOU ARE.
this is about connection, not perfection.
My sessions are relaxed, personal, and designed around connection. Whether you're a soon-to-be mom in Munich preparing to meet your first baby, or you're already deep in the rhythm of family life and expecting another little one, my goal is to create space for you to slow down and simply enjoy this moment.
We’ll focus on movement, and authentic moments—not stiff poses. I’ll guide you with gentle prompts that invite natural interaction and genuine emotion, working at your family’s pace. No expectations, just slowing down to remember and celebrate this moment in time. Together, we’ll create images that feel honest, joyful, and uniquely you.
You're navigating so much right now—physically, emotionally, logistically. And if you're expecting in Munich as an expat, there might be extra layers: navigating a new healthcare system, being far from family, or wondering where you even fit in. Maybe you're already planning what to pack in your bag for the hospital and wondering if maternity photos are even worth it. What should you wear? Is your partner even into the idea? If you have older kids, will they cooperate?
Here's the truth: you don't need to feel like a glowing goddess to capture this moment. Wherever you're at, I'll meet you there with zero pressure and a whole lot of care.
My clients often tell me how surprisingly relaxed the experience felt. That's because I approach each maternity session with empathy and flexibility—we'll go at your pace, pause when needed, and keep things easy and natural.
This isn't about posing or pretending. It's about celebrating this chapter honestly, whether it's your first baby or your fourth.

Step 1
Step 2
Start by filling out my contact form and telling me about what you envision and what preferred dates you have in mind for your session. I work with a limited number of families each month and have a limited number of weekend spots, so booking early is key. To reserve your session, all I need is a deposit and a signed contract. Once your session is secured, we’ll work together to pick the perfect date during the planning process, ensuring it aligns with your family's needs and preferences.
To ensure a personalized and meaningful experience, we'll take time to connect before our session. I’ll send over a questionnaire to get to know you and what’s most important to you in capturing this chapter of your family's story. I’m here to support you every step of the way—whether it’s guiding you with styling suggestions, answering any questions you have, or simply offering reassurance. My goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable, so you can relax and enjoy the experience when the day arrives.
Step 3
On the day of your session, all you have to do is relax, enjoy, and be present. Sessions typically last up to 1 hour and can take place in the comfort of your home or at one of my carefully chosen outdoor locations around Munich. You don’t need to smile at the camera or strike any stiff poses. I work at your pace, capturing the candid moments, connection, and playfulness that naturally unfold when your family is simply being themselves. Throughout our shoot, I will ensure you and your family feels relaxed and well taken care of.
Step 4
Your memories matter, and you shouldn’t have to wait forever to relive them. I believe clear communication, prompt delivery, and respect for your time are essential parts of your experience—not extras. After our session, I personally hand-edit each image with care and attention. Within two weeks, you’ll receive your private online gallery where you can view, select, and download your favorite images. I believe that photographs should exist beyond a screen, so to make this easy for you, you'll have the option to order premium products like fine art prints or bespoke albums directly from a professional print lab through your gallery.

"We did two sessions with Meg - maternity & newborn. In addition to taking beautiful photos, Meg was so mindful of the details that make a big difference during pregnancy/postpartum. I look forward to future sessions with her as my kids grow!"
Kind Words
Most families book their maternity session in Munich during the third trimester, typically between 28-34 weeks pregnant. This is when your bump is beautifully round but you're still comfortable enough to move and enjoy the session.
Absolutely. Many of my clients choose to document both the anticipation and the arrival. I offer thoughtfully designed collections for families who want to preserve more than just one chapter and tell the story of this transformative season in a meaningful, connected way.
You’ll find all the details on my Investment Page.
Yes! Your maternity session is about the whole story, not just the bump. Partners, siblings (even the wild ones), and fur babies are always welcome. I’ll gently guide you into moments that feel natural, so everyone is relaxed and included.
I am a natural light, on-location photographer. I offer maternity sessions in-home or from a handful of carefully selected locations in and around Munich. During the planning stage, we'll work together to choose the perfect location for your session.

I respect your privacy choices, always. You can decide if you're ok with images being shared where your/children's faces are obscured/unrecognizable, or if you prefer for all images to remain private. I will always ask before sharing.
I provide light, natural skin retouching to remove temporary imperfections like scratches, acne, or redness during winter. My goal is to enhance the images while keeping them authentic and true to you.
Your photos are more than just files—they’re memories you’re eager to relive and share. That’s why I prioritize a fast and thoughtful turnaround. You can expect your final gallery within 2 weeks or less, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required.
I don’t offer a full client wardrobe, but I do have a few select pieces for young children and newborns. To help you plan, I provide guidance in my preparation guide and offer a complimentary consultation to ensure your vision is brought to life. My goal is to help you and your family look and feel your best in a way that’s authentic to you—not to dress you in outfits that feel unfamiliar or out of place.
