Pregnancy is the beginning of everything. A new chapter. A shift. A becoming.
Whether youâre growing your first baby or adding to a family full of love and laughter, this season deserves to be remembered. Itâs full of anticipation, wonder, and quiet transformation. And as fleeting as it can feel, these are days youâll want to hold onto.
My maternity sessions are gentle and deeply intentionalâmeant to reflect your connection, not just to the baby youâre growing, but to your partner, your older children, and yourself. Thereâs no pressure to âperformâ or look a certain way. Come as you are. Iâll guide you with care, and together weâll create something beautiful.
You can book a stand-alone maternity session, or choose a bundle that includes both maternity and newborn photographyâa thoughtful way to document your full journey into motherhood.
A Celebration of New Beginnings.
Heartfelt Maternity Photos
Caroline, Munich
"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 â Iâm so grateful I said yes."
Kind Words
Your body is changing, your heart is expanding, and life as you know it is about to shift forever. Maternity sessions arenât just about the bump â theyâre about honoring this beautiful, in-between season of anticipation, transformation, and quiet connection.
I know â you might not feel your most photogenic. You might be tired, uncomfortable, or wondering if youâll even âlook like yourself.ââ
But I promise: thereâs beauty here. And it deserves to be remembered.â
Maternity photography is about so much more than just documenting your pregnancy. Itâs about capturing your strength. Your softness. The way your partner looks at you. The way youâre already mothering before your baby even arrives.â
I want you to look back on these photos and remember what it felt like to be on the edge of something new.
Embracing the Journey
What to Expect From Your Maternity Session
COME AS YOU ARE.
this is about connection, not perfection.
I know that maternity photos can sometimes feel a bit awkwardâbut with me, they donât have to be. My sessions are relaxed, personal, and designed around connection. Whether this is your first baby or youâre already deep in the rhythm of family life, my goal is to create space for you to slow down and simply enjoy this moment.
Weâll focus on play, movement, and authentic momentsânot stiff poses. Iâll guide you with gentle prompts that invite natural interaction and genuine emotion, working at your familyâs pace. No expectations, just slowing down to remember and celebrate this moment in time. Together, weâll create images that feel honest, joyful, and uniquely you.
Trust meâperfection isnât the goal here.
Maybe youâre not sure what to wear, or how your body feels right now. Maybe it feels strange to be in front of the camera at all. If you have older kids joining, maybe youâre wondering if theyâll cooperate or if your partnerâs even into the idea.
Hereâs the truth: you donât need to perform or prepare for perfection. Whether you arrive calm and glowing or tired and unsure, Iâll meet you there with zero pressure and a whole lot of care.
Many of my clients tell me afterward how surprisingly relaxed the experience felt. Thatâs because I approach each session with empathy, flexibility, and a deep understanding of how tender and transformative this time can be. Weâll go at your pace, pause when needed, and keep things easy and natural.
This isnât about posing or pretendingâitâs about celebrating this chapter with honesty and warmth. Whether itâs your first baby or your fourth, Iâm here to help you feel seen, supported, and beautifully yourself.

Youâll then choose between two thoughtfully designed session options: a shorter weekday session, or a full storytelling experience.
Many mothers choose to book a bundle instead â pairing maternity and newborn sessions to document both chapters with ease and benefit from preferred bundle pricing.
The Process
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, weâll 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. Iâll send over a questionnaire to get to know you and whatâs most important to you in capturing this chapter of your family's story. Iâm here to support you every step of the wayâwhether itâs 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 donât 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 shouldnât have to wait forever to relive them. I believe clear communication, prompt delivery, and respect for your time are essential parts of your experienceânot extras. After our session, I personally hand-edit each image with care and attention. Within two weeks, youâll 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.

"It was great to have some time to forget about everything else other than having fun together and being silly and happy, and the resulting images were simply wonderful!"
Kind Words
I recommend scheduling your session between 28â34 weeksâwhen your bump is beautifully round but youâre still feeling fairly comfortable. If you're later or earlier in pregnancy, donât worryâjust reach out. Weâll find a time that works for your body and your story.
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.
Youâll 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. Iâll gently guide you into moments that feel natural, so everyone is relaxed and included.
I am a natural light, on-location photographer. I offer family 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 filesâtheyâre memories youâre eager to relive and share. Thatâs 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 donât 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 thatâs authentic to youânot to dress you in outfits that feel unfamiliar or out of place.
