The early days of parenthood — whether it’s your first baby or your fifth — are a whirlwind of tenderness, exhaustion, wonder, and love. The longest, shortest days. Beautiful and messy. Magical and overwhelming. Time blurs. Your world shifts.
This is about remembering it all.
These aren’t just baby photos. They’re your story. A quiet, heartfelt reminder of what it felt like to become a parent. Of how tiny they once were. Of how deeply they’ve been loved from the very beginning.
With calm, baby-led newborn photography in your Munich home, I’ll help you capture the little details and the quiet magic — so you can hold onto this season, exactly as it is.

"I'm sure I'm not the only new mother who, on the day of her newborn shoot, thought, ‘Why did I book this?’ I didn’t feel attractive, I was still figuring out how to care for my baby… Meg is also a mom, and you can tell she really loves babies and knows how to work with them. The resulting photos brought tears to my eyes—even to my husband's. We love them. Meg made magic."

Picture this: sunlight gently filtering through the curtains, your favorite playlist humming softly in the background, a warm cup of tea still steaming on the table. You're snuggled on the couch with your baby curled up on your chest—safe, calm, completely at home. This is what an in-home newborn session can feel like.
There's no need to pack a bag, no rushing to get out the door. No unfamiliar studio space to navigate. Everything you need is already here. This is the beauty of an in-home newborn session. Your baby can stay in your arms, your dog might wander through the frame, and your toddler is free to be their wild, wonderful self. It’s slow. Intentional. Familiar.
Because one day, your child will want to see more than just what they looked like as a newborn. They’ll want to see you.
The way you looked at them.
The way you held them.
The home you made for them.
These are the moments that deserve to be remembered. Your only job is to show up and love on your family. I’ll be there to gently guide you every step of the way, keeping things simple, relaxed, and oh-so-easy.
Remember how it felt.
What to Expect From Your Newborn Session
Let's press pause together.
Your session is fully guided, calm, and baby-led—designed to fit your family’s rhythm. You won’t be rushing to a studio or forced into awkward poses. Instead, we stay where you’re most comfortable: at home. With gentle direction, styling support, and a peaceful pace, your only job is to show up and love on your family. I’ll take care of the rest.
There are so many unknowns when you are welcoming a new life. I know the vulnerability you feel, the questions you have.
How am I going to feel postpartum? Will the baby sleep? What do I wear? Will the house be a mess? Is this really worth it, or should we wait until the baby is older?
Some of the best feedback I've received from past newborn clients is that I bring a sense of calm to the newborn chaos. If you have a toddler running around a bit wild - no worries. Have a pet? Cool, me too! Grandparents visiting? Perfect! Stuff everywhere? No problem, we'll move what we need to. Baby fussing? Well... yeah, it's a baby! I've been there, and I've seen it before.
So, settle in, let go of any worries, and allow yourselves to be fully present in the moment. I’ll be there to gently guide you every step of the way while keeping things simple, relaxed and oh-so-easy.
Feeling Nervous?
So take a breath, show up as you are, and let me handle the rest.

Your session begins with a 200€ booking deposit to reserve your date.
The remainder is due after your session.
The Process
Step 1
Step 2
Start by filling out my contact form and telling me about your family and your expected due date. I work with a limited number of families each month, so booking early is key. To reserve your session, all I need is a deposit and a signed contract.
Once your session is secured, I'll hold space around your due date, and we will set the exact session date once your baby has arrived. If your baby is already here, it's not too late! Reach out and we'll find the next available time!
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 your family 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 with your family. I don't set a time limit on our session, but we typically spend around 1.5-2 hours together.
My newborn sessions are entirely baby-led, which means we have time for any feeding, changing, or cuddle breaks needed. Throughout our session, I will ensure you and your family feel 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.
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 had two sessions with Meg–maternity and newborn. In addition to taking beautiful photos, Meg was so mindful of the details that make a big difference during pregnancy/postpartum. I will treasure the photos she took for many years to come."
Kind Words
The whole family!
My style focuses on the connection between family members. We'll capture a mix of images of your sweet newborn, sibling bonding, 1:1 moments, and everyone together.
Newborn sessions take place at 10 am as that is when the light and babe’s mood is the best. Sessions typically last around 1.5-2 hours. We will go as slow as we need to for you and the baby. I expect to take as many breaks as needed for feeding, changing, and comfort.
With newborn shootings, my style focuses on natural, unposed images. The safety and comfort of your baby are my top priorities, which is why I don’t use props during newborn sessions. Instead, I’ll guide you to hold and cuddle your baby or have them comfortably settled in their crib or on your bed. Your baby is perfect just as they are!
If you’d like to incorporate special items like blankets, throws, or muslins, feel free to let me know, and we can include them in your session.
If you can, contact me while you are pregnant, either in your second or third trimester. This allows me to hold a place in my calendar for your session, but we won't set a definitive date until the baby is born.
If the baby is already here, contact me as soon as possible to find the soonest available date.

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.
