Maternity Photoshoot in Basel and the Alps
Congratulations on expecting a baby! Becoming a mom is undoubtedly one of the most transformative journeys a woman can experience. While it may feel like time is moving slowly at the moment, the reality is that pregnancy and those early months will pass by quickly in the grand scheme of your life.
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.

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.

Kind Words
Why Our Family Session Will Be Truly Special ?
You
because it is designed around
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.
Your most meaningful maternity photos deserve more than to sit forgotten on a hard drive, lost among countless selfies and screenshots. They deserve to be seen, felt, and cherished for years to come. That’s why my collections include store credit, which you can use in my print store to create anything from individual prints and albums to wall art, turning your favorite images into lasting keepsakes that celebrate this extraordinary chapter of your family’s story.
