Maternity Photoshoot in Basel
Pregnancy is not just a season to remember how you looked. It’s a season to remember how it felt: the anticipation, the connection, the becoming. The way your hands rest on your belly without even thinking.
This is where motherhood begins: in the wondering, in the waiting, in the gentle love that grows long before you ever hold your baby in your arms.
Together, we will create images that hold this tenderness and anticipation. Because one day, your child will look at these photographs and know they were loved long before they arrived.
BEHIND THE CAMERA
Nikolett Mayer
As an expat mom living in Basel for over five years, I’ve come to deeply appreciate how precious the moments of pregnancy are: the anticipation, the quiet connection with your little one, and the joy of this transformative time. One day, these memories will be all we have left, and that realization inspired me to pursue my passion for family and maternity photography.
My goal during your maternity session is to create a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can truly be yourself. I aim to capture you, your growing baby bump, and your family in the most authentic and beautiful way, preserving these special moments exactly as you want to be seen and remembered.

An Investment in Your Family’s Story
The session that is truly designed around you
Your maternity session with me is all about capturing this incredible time in your life naturally, with genuine connection, effortless moments, and the quiet beauty of your pregnancy.
There’s no time pressure: I don’t work for the clock; I work for you, ensuring every moment feels relaxed, authentic, and meaningful. I’ll provide you with a style and session guide full of tips, outfit ideas, and location suggestions, and if you’d like, we can have a personal consultation to tailor the session perfectly to your style, comfort, and vision.
After our session, you’ll view all your images in a private online gallery, and you only purchase the photos you truly love: no upfront commitment, no risk. You can select individual images or choose one of my thoughtfully curated photo packages for the best value.

HEIRLOOMS FOR GENERATIONS
Your most meaningful photos deserve more than to sit forgotten on a hard drive, lost among thousands of random selfies and screenshots. They deserve to be seen, felt, and remembered.
Have you ever discovered an old family album tucked away in a drawer and suddenly been transported back in time, seeing familiar faces, reliving moments, and reconnecting with loved ones who may no longer be with us?
That’s why every online family gallery I deliver includes access to a personalized print store, where you can easily turn your favorite session photos into beautiful prints, albums, or wall art, made to last and bring joy for years to come.

Maternity Photoshoot FAQs
When is the best time for a Maternity Session?
The ideal time for a maternity photoshoot is between 28 and 34 weeks.
28 to 30 weeks: Defined bump, energetic, and glowing. Great for capturing that vibrant look.
31 to 32 weeks: The sweet spot—bump is prominent, but you're still comfortable and looking your best.
33 to 34 weeks: Bump is large, and energy may start to dip. If you're comfortable, it's still a good time, but aim to book earlier to avoid last-minute stress.
