Lake Eibsee in the summer. Just you two. A baby bump filled with excitement.
Send us your due date or your preferred time frame, and tell us briefly what you want your photos to feel like. We can’t wait to hear from you.
Woohoo… I head to every maternity session at Lake Eibsee with so much excitement. For me, Eibsee is one of the most beautiful places out there. And in the summer, it becomes even more special: the forests glow in warm colors, the water looks deep and crystal-clear, and the mountains create this breathtaking backdrop that feels timeless in photos. That mix of nature and wide-open space is exactly what makes Eibsee perfect if you want maternity photos that do not look like a staged “shoot,” but feel like you.
Maybe you are noticing it yourself, how quickly these weeks fly by. Your belly gets rounder, your thoughts get bigger, and somewhere in between are those little moments you wish you could hold onto: a glance, a hand on your belly, that quiet smile when you think about what is coming. With the Zugspitze in the background, Eibsee creates dreamy maternity photos that bring you right back to this season of life. Not overdone, not overly posed. Just real, intimate, and exactly how you feel right now.
One-of-a-Kind Maternity Photos at Lake Eibsee
This expecting couple from northern Germany intentionally chose Lake Eibsee as the location for their maternity session. They wanted to spend their last vacation days as a couple before the baby arrives, and capture exactly that feeling: “it’s the two of us, and soon we’ll be three.” Sometimes it’s not just the location, but the meaning behind it that makes a session so special. For them, Eibsee became a place where anticipation felt real.
Even with the long trip, they arrived relaxed and full of excitement. And that’s exactly how it should feel for you, too: you show up, take a deep breath, and you don’t have to perform. A lot of couples tell me beforehand that they wonder if they’re “photogenic enough,” or what they’re supposed to do in front of the camera. The truth is: you don’t need to know how to do anything. You’ll be guided through the session with experience, a clear flow, and plenty of room for real moments. You’ll feel confident without feeling restricted.
We Got Lucky with the Weather
Summer at Lake Eibsee is beautiful, but it can also be unpredictable. We were a little worried about whether we’d be able to do the session at sunset as planned. The forecast for their vacation days looked anything but promising: high chances of rain, gray clouds, and very little wiggle room. And yes, many people know that feeling, you plan, you get excited, and then you think, “please not now.”
And then: luck. Against all odds, it stayed dry. The sun even came out and wrapped the landscape in warm, soft light. That summer light is a dream for maternity photos: flattering, natural, full of depth. When the colors around you start to glow and the mountains slowly turn darker, it creates a mood you simply can’t recreate. All you have to do is be there, and the rest falls into place.
Magical Memories at Lake Eibsee
Because the session felt relaxed and natural, we were able to capture beautiful memories of her baby bump and their time away together. What matters most to me is that you feel comfortable as a couple or family and stay true to yourselves. No stiff posing, no “smile now.” You’ll get clear, simple guidance so you feel confident. And in between, the moments you can’t plan happen naturally: real connection.
We’ll switch up perspectives, use different spots around the lake, play with the light, and create variety without ever making it feel rushed. You can move, talk to each other, laugh for a second, get quiet for a moment. That’s how authentic, one-of-a-kind images are created, photos that reflect your personality and your love, and later take you right back to that feeling: excitement, closeness, that little flutter when you think about what’s coming.
