Photography by Marlenka

Hi — nice that you stopped by. As a certified baby and newborn photographer based near Mettmann, I create family photos with the same calm, patience and attention to detail that make my newborn and maternity sessions stand out. My photographic style favors warm, natural tones, thoughtful composition and authentic moments — the kind of images you want to hang on the wall and revisit often. Why families choose me: I understand the special dynamic of babies, toddlers and expectant mothers and can read the moments when everyone feels comfortable. My loft in Mettmann is a quiet, fully equipped studio — perfect for relaxed maternity, newborn and family sessions. I work patiently with gentle direction so even shy children can relax and genuine, unstaged moments emerge. How I work: Every session starts with a personal consultation where we discuss wishes, outfits and possible sets. On the day, I create a relaxed atmosphere, bring selected props and wardrobe pieces, and tailor poses and lighting to your family. After the shoot you receive a private online gallery to choose your favorites, followed by professional retouching to make your memories shine. My primary focus is newborn and maternity, and I also accompany families through the next milestones: sitter sessions, cake smash shoots for first birthdays, and children and portrait sessions. Each session is bespoke — I avoid mass production and aim to tell your family’s story with honesty and care. I also offer workshops and coaching for photographers because continuing education and safe baby handling are close to my heart. If you’re looking for natural, timeless family photographs that capture your connection and preserve memories, let’s talk.
