Thank you for trusting me to photograph these precious moments of your pregnancy and the first days with your baby. I look forward to accompanying you during this special time and capturing the wonderful memories of both your pregnancy and the arrival of your sweet newborn.

Searching for a newborn photographer can be challenging. I want to assure you that not only am I trained in newborn safety during the photo shoot, but as a mother of three, I have the experience to handle your baby safely and gently. Newborn photography requires not only photographic talent and technical know-how, but also skill, care and patience to ensure a relaxing session for the baby and you as a parent. You can trust me to provide a relaxing experience and wonderful photos. In my studio I create ideal conditions for your baby's well-being. During the newborn photo shoot, we maintain a comfortable temperature of 26 degrees and offer a wide range of soft and cute clothes for your baby. The schedule for the newborn photo shoot is also designed so that there is enough time for breastfeeding your baby, because they sleep best when they are full and content.

Celebrate the wait for your baby with a maternity photo shoot!

Everything still seems to be the same, but while you wait to hold your baby in your arms, you are already living in the future, dreaming about tomorrow and doing worrying about your new life that is about to begin. And you are definitely growing. You are literally growing. Some women love their new curves, others are not particularly comfortable with their new look. It does not matter! All pregnant women radiate the most powerful feeling in the world - the growing love of a mother. I project this special energy and beauty onto the photos using gentle lighting technology and image editing in a beautiful baby bump photo shoot. So take the opportunity to feel exceptionally beautiful. There is no better way to capture memories of this once-in-a-lifetime experience than with a maternity photo shoot.

How long does it take for the photos to be delivered?

After the photo session I will make basic edits to the images. The photos will be uploaded to an online gallery with a watermark within two weeks. You have two weeks to view and select your photos from the comfort of your own home. If you exceed the number of photos included in your package, you can purchase additional images or upgrade your package. Once you have made your selection and paid the full amount, a final, thorough retouching is carried out. After two more weeks, you can download your high-resolution photos from another online gallery. Prints will be sent to you three weeks after you receive the digital photos.

Can we buy unedited photos?

I do not sell or give away the unedited photos or RAW files. Since my storage space is limited, all photos that are not purchased will be deleted.

When is the best time for the newborn photo shoot?

Your precious newborn is so tiny and delicate. It just seems too small for any adventure. It may come as a surprise, but the second week of a baby's life is the perfect time for the newborn photo shoot. Your baby will be a real sleepyhead and will most likely not notice anything out of the ordinary happening around them because they will oversleep during their newborn session. This is perfect! We don't want to bother him with this. And don't worry about your baby's acne or peeling skin. This is normal at this very young age. I'll take care of this while I'm post-processing your baby photos.

How is newborn photography done?

We keep your little one warm, give him time to eat and let him fall into a restful baby sleep. I will position him in natural poses that resemble his position in the womb. I will treat your baby in the gentlest way possible so that he feels comfortable and peaceful at all times. We usually start by photographing your baby alone, then we take some photos of the parents holding the baby, the whole family, and the siblings with their newborn sister or brother.

When should I book my newborn photo shoot?

We have limited space for newborn photo shoots. For this reason, it is very important that you contact me before your baby is born. If you would like to book a newborn photo shoot with me, please indicate your expected due date. I'll put it on my calendar. After the birth (preferably a few days after the birth) please contact me again. We will then agree on the exact date of the meeting. But if your baby is already here, do not hesitate to contact me, we will still try to find a place for your family.

How long does it take for the photos to be delivered?

After the photo session, the images are retouched within two weeks and uploaded to an online gallery. They will be watermarked for viewing. The gallery is accessible for two weeks, allowing you to select photos from the comfort of your own home. If you would like to select more photos than are included in your package, you can purchase additional images or upgrade. Once you've made your selection and completed payment, a final touch-up will be performed and your high-resolution photos will be available for download in another online gallery in two weeks. The prints will be sent to you three weeks after you receive the digital photos.

Can we buy unedited photos?

I do not sell or give away the unedited photos or RAW files. Since my storage space is limited, all photos that have not been purchased will be deleted.

Family photography in Munich

The family is the foundation of our lives, a place for playing, learning and discovering together. As parents, we capture the precious moments of our children and young people with photos and videos. However, the authors of these memories often remain in the background. For this reason I am available as a family photographer. In my family photography, the focus is on the love and connection between parents. Through the skilful use of lighting technology and image editing, I give the photos a special energy and beauty. A family photo shoot gives you the opportunity to present yourself in your best light and capture the unique bonds within your family. Take advantage of this opportunity to feel wonderful and create precious memories with your young family. A family photoshoot is undoubtedly one of the best ways to capture these moments forever.

As a family photographer, I always see the most beautiful relationship - parenthood. That's why photo shoots with my children always include family photos. I use lighting and image editing techniques to project that special energy and beauty onto the photos during a beautiful family photo shoot.

Hallo! I am Hania

I come from Gdańsk, Poland, lived in Zurich for 15 years and have been living in Porto since 2022. I am a mother of three beautiful children and the wife of a handsome Portuguese. We speak four languages at home (portuguese, polish, english, and german). I have been a digital photo retoucher since 2008, alongsite my scientific career in Biology. Since 2018, I am a full-time photographer and owner of Kleiner Sternli Fotografie. I specialized in newborn, maternity and family photography. I participated in a number of international workshops and trainings in the field of newborn photography and the use of light in photography. I was constantly educating myself in the art of photography, processing and session planning. Meeting with families and their children during newborn photo sessions is a unique experience that is different every time. It is an amazing privilege for me to be able to document moments such as waiting for a new family member or the first days of parenthood. The most important for me as a photographer is to capture the beauty of these unique moments of your life as beautifully as possible.
